Feral Hues : A Guide to Painting with Weeds
No full text"This book builds on artist Ellie Irons's decade-long practice of making watercolor paints from the berries, blossoms, and leaves of the plants who green urban and disturbed habitats.

Fashion Fictions
No full text''Fashion Fictions surveys experimental design practices that exist at the intersection of fashion and other modes of cultural production. International in scope, the exhibition explores the increasing influence of research-based, materially driven practices on the global fashion scene, while acknowledging the proliferation of creative practices that challenge the aesthetic, material and technological conventions of fashion. The title of the exhibition is drawn from artist and technologist Julian Bleecker’s influential essay “Design Fiction” (2009) in which he extends the term first coined by critic and theorist Bruce Sterling to argue that the most innovative, transformative work is produced in the spaces between fact and fiction, the present and the near future, and the scientific and the fantastical."-- Publisher's websit
Dictionary : Of Terms Relating to the Edges, Divisions, Boundaries, and Borders of Things, Etc.
No full text"The first publication in the Hildegard Press series is a dictionary that establishes the definitions and etymologies of terms related to edges, divisions, boundaries, and borders. The dictionary seeks to outline the language used to define where one thing ends and another thing begins. A web of “See also:” referents link the terms to each other in order to produce a network of language that is commonly used to divide objects, worlds, political entities, metaphysical subjects, and bodies."-- Publisher's websit
Emma Kunz : The Polarized Calendula Blooms
No full text"In 1953, the Swiss mystic, healer, and artist Emma Kunz conducted an experiment on calendula flowers growing in her medicinal garden. With the aid of a pendulum she applied a process she termed “polarization” whereby the form of the flowers were altered in order to produce additional blooms following a numerical sequence. This publication explores Kunz’s practice and intentions, the process of polarization, number symbolism, and the contextual implications of the era. An appendix provides a summary of historical and medicinal uses of the calendula flower."-- Publisher's websit
Let's Become Fungal! : Mycelium Teachings and the Arts
No full text"There is a growing interest in fungi and mycelium as a material, the ever-branching connecting threads of the fungal world. The entanglements and how this rhizomatic network functions is not just a fascinating ecological system and material, but carries a profound usefulness as a metaphor for our potential new systems, ways of thinking and behaviors.
Let’s Become Fungal! takes its inspiration from the world of art and mycology and shares innovative practices from Latin America and the Caribbean that are rooted in multispecies collaboration, symbiosis, alliances, non-monetary resource exchange, decentralization, bottom-up methods and mutual dependency—all in line with the behavior of the mycelium.
Every chapter is phrased as a question. They do not lead to answers, but to twelve teachings addressing for instance collaboration, decoloniality, non-linearity, toxicity, mobilization, biomimicry, death, and being non-binary. Simultaneously it ventures deeper into the world of fungi. The teachings from the fungus may inspire artists, collectives, organizations, educators, policy-makers, designers, scientists, anthropologists, change-makers, curators, urbanists, activists, gardeners, community-leaders, farmers, and many others, to become more fungal in their ways of working and being." -- Publisher's websit
Jaimie Isaac : Brings To Light
No full text"Brings to Light extends the impact of Jaimie Isaac’s exhibition. It includes intergenerational contributions by the artist's grandmother Elder Mary Courchene, mother Elaine Isaac, and son James Isaac-Fehr, beautiful illustrations of the artworks, and a series of compelling texts written by the artist, her sister Dawn Isaac, and scholar Lorena Fontaine. Here, as in the show, Isaac and her kin grapple with intergenerational Indigenous experiences of trauma, memory, resilience, and reclamation to teach us that we must never forget the harms of the past and to honour the survivors and all those who bring awareness to “the beauty of Indigenous knowledge”." -- Publisher's websit
