SPECIFICS
Best of "Beings & Creatures" from the exhibition series of the same name at the Graz art centre < rotor >. Works by 34 artists deal with life on a damaged earth, new and old relationships under the influence of the multispecies discourse, appropriated and constructed figures, and entities beyond the tangible.
The book "Beings & Creatures" was created for the exhibition series of the same name in the art center < rotor > and documents the work of 34 artists. A life on a damaged earth with new and old kinships under the influence of the multispecies discourse are discussed. Present and fleeting, apparently real and supposedly imaginary beings and creatures appear. Humans do not have a special position in the sense of posthumanism, they represent one of many species. The threat to biodiversity, the role of vulnerable beings, but also the exchange of alliances and ways out are outlined.
