Infrastructure Aesthetics

Edited by Solveig Daugaard, Cecilie Ullerup Schmidt and Frederik Tygstrup

"An upsurge in artworks negotiating the conditions of their own production, distribution, and reception has called attention to the infrastructural relations that shape the art world but have long been understudied. In response, this book introduces the concept of infrastructure aesthetics into the study of culture.

The concept is drawn from infrastructure studies, media theory, and aesthetic theory. This volume develops it further, addressing:

the analytical challenge of working with works that blur the boundaries between art and infrastructure, both historically and in the present,
the aesthetic problem of assessing artistic forms that operate on an infrastructural level, and
the politics of artistic agency on a social level, beyond the work's content or message.

As the relation between artworks and their institutional and social settings becomes infrastructural in nature, we need to move beyond the reductive division of the study of artworks into production, articulation, and reception. This book provides its readers with an innovative conceptual toolbox designed for precisely this task, as well as a forceful set of exemplary case studies applying the concepts in theory and practice."

Wor(l)ding
A Harvested Glossary for Social Justice in Arts Education and Beyond

convened by Michelle Teran, Ali Şahin, Kari Robertson, Pablo Lerma

"Wor(l)ding: A Harvested Glossary for Social Justice in Arts Education and Beyond is a glos­sary of references harvested from discourses of equity, diversity, inclusivity, social justice, and social practices, not only in an arts edu­ cation context, but also as part of broader, systemic urgencies.

Words are contextualised through a praxis of referencing the many writers, thinkers, artists, and creators who have deeply engaged with, or even coined, the terms in this publi­ cation. Multiple interconnected struggles are interwoven through and within the voices that are present in this glossary. This approach acknowledges that we already have all the tools and words we need; the work is not to innovate or invent, but to amplify and connect.

Wor(l)ding emerges in a time of institutional cultures of austerity, against a global backdrop of rising fascism in the Global North and horrific imperialist, neo­colonial violence (in Congo, Gaza, Sudan, Tigray, and many other places). At moments such as these, it is vital to take stock of where we are, and to share what tools, allies, and words we have."

Zamotka

compiled by Freefilmers

"Zamotka is a kind of wrap made by spreading hummus on lavash flatbread and adding toppings of your liking, which was popularised by Mariupol’s underground creative scene in 2017–2018.

It is also the name given to a self-published zine that explores grassroots food practices, communal dining, food related trauma caused by the war and its social and personal dimensions in the context of Mariupol’s devastation. To honour this legendary wrap and personal memories of the city, Freefilmers have compiled a series of visual and textual contributions in Zamotka."

 Nychka Lishchynska: literary editing of the zine, text project coordination, interviews.
 Sashko Protiah: coordination, project management.
 Natasha Tseliuba: art and photo project coordination, design, zine layout.

Rikimbili: une étude sur la désobéissance technologique et quelques formes de réinvention

by Ernesto Oroza

"Quand nous acceptons le critère bourgeois qui sanctionne la nécessité comme indigne et celui qui exprime ses besoins comme faible et vulgaire, nous participons à la réduction systématique de la créativité et de la liberté qui pourrait se traduire dans la culture contemporaine." (Ernesto Oroza)

“PLOUGHSHARES AS TECHNOLOGICAL DISOBEDIENCE (CUBA)
Cite du design is a broad church. Whilst hordes of courtiers flocked around the Minister like starlings at sunset, copies of a subversive new book, by Ernesto Oroza, were being distributed by Cite’s publications team. Rikimbili – “a study of technological disobedience and other forms of re-invention” – describes how Cubans have adapted and recycled industrial objects during fifty years of US sanctions. The book’s title, Rikimbili, is named after a two-wheeled vehicle that started its life as a bicycle. The book is subversive because, for me anyway, it describes the kind of design we’ll be doing in the coming age of scarcity industrialism (a phrase of John Michael Greer). Design shows filled with shiny objects, by contrast, are best perceived as historical events about a pardigm that has passed. Write direct to obtain your copy of Rikimbili to: emilie.chabert at citedudesign dot com.” (John Thackara)
