A new approach to the notion of ecology emphasizing its relevance
for art and design. The notion of ecology not only figures
centrally in current debates around climate change, but also
traverses contemporary discourses in the arts, the humanities, and
the social and techno sciences. In this present form, ecology
refers to the multilayered and multidimensional nexus of living
processes and technological and media practices-that is, to the
complex relations of human and nonhuman agents. Hybrid Ecologies
understands ecology as an ambivalent notion, whose very broadness
simultaneously opens up new fields of action and raises provocative
questions, not least concerning its genealogy. This
interdisciplinary volume explores the political and social effects
of rethinking community in ecological terms, with a particular
emphasis on what the contemporary notion of ecology might mean for
artistic and design practices. The result of the fifth annual
program of the cx centre for interdisciplinary studies, which was
conceived in cooperation with the Chair of Philosophy | Aesthetic
Theory at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, Hybrid Ecologies is a
timely and thought-provoking study of one of the most important
themes of our time.
Future Bodies from a Recent Past brings to life a hitherto
little-noticed phenomenon in art and sculpture in particular: the
reciprocal interpenetration of bodies and technology. With 120
works by 59 artists-primarily from Europe, the USA and Japan-the
exhibition is dedicated to the major technological changes since
the post-war period and examines their influence on our notions of
bodies. With contributions on topics such as the influence of
changing production technologies, materialities, and concepts of
the body, but also interdisciplinary considerations of
body-technology relations, a multi-perspective history of
contemporary sculpture will be outlined. German Edition! Exhibition
Museum Brandhorst Munich 2 June 2022 until 15 January 2023
