8 days to totality in North America
Eclipse week is finally here! Over sixty members have contributed works to Transmissions, the online exhibition + printed zines, and pop-up event in Austin, Texas. Most of the works are now viewable under Exhibits in the menu bar on our website. see below
This year in order to develop a compendium of artists, scientists, designers, architects and writers for our 2025 online interactive + printed book, we have launched a call titled SOILS TURN. This will give us a full year to create the ultimate soil practitioners directory. The aim is to be inclusive for all who apply, so we invite you to share your work reimagining soils. see below Printed copies of The New Geologic Epoch will arrive in April (apologies, paper problems) and will be shipped to four continents. This is an absolutely gorgeous book with incredible artworks and thoughtful text. We are still taking pre-orders and will do a second printing. Check out the updated digital interactive edition here.
For our monthly Zoom Dialogues in April we will hold the sixth Geologic Dialogues with artists who make time-based and performative works. see below
As we pass through a short period of darkness in the middle of the day next week, let's be present with the fact that we humans and our non-human relatives are a part of a larger cosmic system that supports life here on Turtle Island.

CALL FOR ARTISTS, SCIENTISTS, DESIGNERS, ARCHITECTS & WRITERS
SOILS TURN
DEADLINE May 18, 2024
"…human beings are not in a separate compost pile. We are humus, not Homo, not anthropos; we are compost, not posthuman." Donna Haraway
Haraway’s call to reimagine human as humus reflects a recent 'soils turn' in the social sciences, humanities and arts that seeks to diversify mainstream soil knowledge and empower people to reconnect with soils. Heeding this call, SOILS TURN will be the 2025 ecoartspace annual online interactive + printed book, which will be realized as a compendium and directory of artists, scientists, designers, architects and writers who engage with soils.

"All
the materials I have use are ecological and of natural origin
collected personally from the environment, or recycled materials of
various types. In addition to the aesthetic aspect it presents, I see
the material as significant, that is, as a vehicle of other meanings, of
analogies and dialogue between me and the things of nature in which I
see often spiritual and existential values that I try to communicate
in a more or less explicit. The natural materials that I have collected
to date are mostly organic (wood, plants, leaves, branches, etc.) and
inorganic (minerals, earth, clays, etc.) materials linked to certain
specific places." samanthapassanitiartstudio.wordpress.com |

ecoartspace has
served as a platform for artists addressing environmental issues since
1999. In 2020, we transitioned to a membership model. Members include
artists, scientists, professionals, students, and advocates sharing
resources and supporting each other's work. This is an inclusive,
non-competitive collaborative environment where we can imagine and make
real a healthy, equitable, resilient future. |
