Australian Dialogues World Environment Day, Soils Turn
This
month we celebrate UN World Environment Day, a global event that
happens each year on June 5, in partnership with our Australian
Dialogues members. There will be a range of somatic and
auditory events by ecological artists "down under." Links and an
interactive map can be found on our website under Exhibits in
the Menu bar. Check it out and consider participating! see below
Thank
you to all who submitted works for the SOILS TURN
book. We realize the call was short, and since extending the
deadline to June 1, we still want to include more artists
(currently almost 150). This book will be a
comprehensive directory of soil artists that curators and soil
scientists can reference to invite participation in exhibitions
and collaborations. We are excited to include a wide range of
contributors. We will be reaching out independently to those who should definitely be included.
For
our monthly public Zoom Dialogues in June we are presenting the
eighth Geologic Dialogues with artists
who engage
the human connection with land as poetic aesthetics. see below
As
mentioned last month, we are preparing to launch an
International call for eco-political works
for our fall wheat-paste broadside
campaign leading up to the US Presidential election. Works will
be downloadable for all, for free! email mid-June
A huge THANKS to participants of our Soil
Dialogues, especially those who
traveled to Italy to present their work last month at
the IUSS Soil Congress in Florence; and, to those who sent their soil textiles for our
pop-up exhibition. We connected with soil scientists,
learned about a wide range of soil topics, and developed
strategies for future soil textile displays. To be
continued . . . . Patricia Watts, founder

Soiled is a series of artworks that incorporate video art with performance, speculative documentary practice, and sculptural assemblages. The artworks function as a series of ‘soil acts’ that foster understanding of the complex interrelationships between humans, soil, and dirt. It examines how social narratives of what is soiled and what is pure reinforce hierarchies of race, gender, and society. In this tapestry of soil relations, an evolving narrative is created, where time, place, politics, and bodies intertwine with the substance of the ground. www.cassandratytler.com

served as a platform for artists addressing environmental issues since
1999. In 2020, we transitioned to a membership model. Members include

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. |
