march madness, an early spring
Lots going on this month in preparation for the total solar eclipse on April 8. We are still receiving works from our members for the Transmissions event and online exhibition + printed zines. Do check
out the interview on our blog with Krista Leigh Steinke and Erika
Blumenfeld discussing their work that will be included at the Austin,
Texas event on April 6 at Canopy.
Printed copies of The New Geologic Epoch book are expected to arrive next week, and will be ready to ship by mid-March. We are still taking pre-orders! The updated edition is viewable on ISSUU, which you can view here.
For our monthly Zoom Dialogues in March we will hold the fifth Geologic Dialogues with artists who make work with sound and video. And, through June we will hold Sound Dialogues and Soil Dialogues for our members.
There's also news of a truly low impact ecological art event happening in Australia for World Environment Day on June 5, initiated by our Australian Dialogues. All members can participate from their home ground.
And finally, a BIG Welcome to our new members for 2024, almost 100 of you so far!

Terra Firma (Pre-Ida) is an abstracted aerial view of coastal Louisiana where the Mississippi River enters the Gulf of Mexico, based on maps of walkable land from 2011 and 2019. Louisiana is still collectively imagined to be in the shape of a boot, an image that is kept alive through state logos, highway signs, and most Louisiana textbooks in schools. The reality is that the state lost 1,900 square miles of land between 1932 and 2000 and is still losing a football field of land every hour. www.heatherbirdharris.com |
