Matter fictions

Más información sobre el libro

Matter Fictions' addresses fiction as a mode of producing reality as well as the significance of matter - animal, vegetable, mineral, hybrid - beyond binaries. Recounting a partial history of our relation with matter, the eponymous exhibition at Museu Coleção Berardo (May 4 - August 21, 2016) explored how the crossover between cosmological narratives, spatial revolutions of concrete poetry, and hypertextual and territorial fictions might impact our understanding of human agency in a time that calls for action on climate change and technocratic policies. This companion reader features contributions from participating artists and like-minded writers that address the scope of this project as it exceeds the frame of art and the exhibition into the realm of nonhuman ecologies, ontologies, and temporalities.00Copublished with Museu Coleção, Berardo
