KlappentextContemporary art and crisis have a complex relationship. On the one hand, art can draw us toward apocalypse: it charts unfolding chaos, reflects and amplifies the effects of crisis, shows us the dystopian in both our daily life and in our imagined futures. On the other hand, art's complexity helps fathom the uncertainty of the world, question and challenge the order of things, and allows us to imagine new ways of living and being - to make new worlds.
This collection of written and visual essays explores artistic responses to crises - including the climate emergency, global and local inequalities and the COVID-19 pandemic - and suggests new forms of collectivity and collaboration within artistic practice.
Dystopian and Utopian Impulses in Art Making surveys a wide variety of practices, oriented from the perspective of Australia, New Zealand and Asia. It focuses on how artistic production is adapting to a world in constant crisis and offers a series of artistic, curatorial considerations and pedagogical proposals for the world we live in now, and for the world we want.
