Smithson made the work at the invitation of the Sonsbeek buiten de perken (Beyond the Borders) exhibition. Forty years following its completion, and after a highly eventful history, the work in Emmen is once again in good condition, and is the regular destination for those interested in Smithson’s work from all over the world.<br /><br />Broken Circle/Spiral Hill is the only 'earthwork' produced by Smithson still in existence outside the United States. As an integral part of these works, Smithson made films that reveal the spatial and environmental context of the work. Aerial shots in a symmetrical pattern were combined with close-ups, documentary footage of the construction of the work and views of the surrounding landscape. In this way, visitors to galleries and museums were introduced to the earthworks produced by Smithson in barely accessible, remote locations. As a result of a tragic aircraft accident during a reconnaissance flight in 1973, Smithson's life and work came to a premature end. Smithson was never able to finish the film about Broken Circle/Spiral Hill.<br /><br />Forty years later, a video incorporating the original film footage is now to be completed on behalf of theLand Art Contemporary program in a collaboration between artist Nancy Holt and curator Theo Tegelaers of SKOR | Foundation for Art and Public Domain. Nancy Holt and Robert Smithson made several films together and were married for a decade until his death in 1973. Holt currently works with a Dutch team in editing the video Breaking Ground: Broken Circle/Spiral Hill, including the original film footage she shot in 1971, and video recently shot recently in Emmen by a Dutch crew. The video will be made guided by Smithson's film notes and drawings.<br /><br />Land Art Contemporary<br />Several Dutch institutional and private partners are joining forces in the realization of a series of initiatives being developed in honor of the 40th anniversary of the creation of Broken Circle/Spiral Hill. All these elements are brought together by means of co-production, support and presentation in the multiyear program Land Art Contemporary.<br /><br />In 2011, Land Art Contemporary will include the following program components:<br /><br />• Production and premiere of the video Breaking Ground: Broken Circle/Spiral Hill (1971–2011) (SKOR | Foundation for Art and Public Domain. In cooperation with Nancy Holt)<br /><br />• Launch of the project The Ultraperiferic—a series of assignments to contemporary artists, reconsidering the meaning of land art in the spirit of Robert Smithson (SKOR | Foundation for Art and Public Domain.

She has exhibited internationally at venues including the Whitney Biennial, MoMA, the Pompidou, Hammer Museum and many international film festivals including Sundance, the Viennale, Ann Arbor and Rotterdam.

In addition, Lamson installed a system of speakers and resonators throughout the structure that receive the weather radio signal from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and allow him to play the tower as an instrument. By moving an electric guitar pickup across the metal structure, Lamson activates internal resonances within the tower that are both physical and acoustic. The resulting audio composition mixes recordings of the artist’s movements around and through the structure with the live weather radio broadcast. Like the shifting weather, the sound varies from extreme quiet to a vigorous crescendo.</span></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Times; "><span style="font-family: Taz-Light; "> </span></p><div style="margin-top: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; margin-left: 0in; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Times; "><span style="font-family: Taz-Light; ">Lamson’s repurposed tower radically reinterprets the weather conditions that the glass-paneled pavilion both reveals and protects against. Harnessing the imperceptible phenomena of a radio signal, the artist—rather than making its real-time weather report audible—translates the signal into a physical and resonant experience.

Fox, poet, author and director of the Center for Art + Environment at the Nevada Museum of Art, Reno.<br /><br />Fox will present “The Art of the Anthropocene: From Landscape Painting to Land Art” in Lecture Hall 202 of the Rawls College of Business Administration building at 7 p.m. April 7. The talk will examine landscape painting and land art since 1790 in light of 2000 Nobel laureate Paul Crutzen’s proposal that we have moved into the next geologic era, the Anthropocene, where humans are the most influential element on Earth.<br /><br />Fox is known for visiting extreme environments to research his books. In 2001, he spent a season at the McMurdo Station and South Pole in the Antarctic as part of the National Science Foundation’s Visiting Artists and Writers program. During the summers of 2002 and 2003, he made three trips to Devon Island in the Canadian Arctic to join scientists testing future exploration protocols of Mars as part of NASA’s Haughton-Mars Project. He has since visited sites in the United States, Chile, Nepal and other places around the world.<br /><br />Fox has published twelve books on cognition and landscape, fifteen collections of poetry and numerous essays in art monographs, magazines and journals. His nonfiction titles include: <i>Aereality: On the World from Above</i>, 2009, <i>Terra Antarctic: Looking Into the Emptiest Continent</i>, 2007, <i>In the Desert of Desire: Las Vegas and the Culture of Spectacle</i>, 2007 and <i>The Void, the Grid, and the Sign: Traversing the Great Basin</i>, 2005.<br /><br />Fox is also an artist who has exhibited in numerous group and solo shows in seven countries since 1974.<br /><br />He is a fellow of both the Royal Geographical Society and Explorers Club, a recipient of fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation, National Endowment for the Humanities and the National Science Foundation and has been a visiting scholar at the Getty Research Institute, Clark Art Institute, the Australian National University and National Museum of Australia.<br /><br />Fox’s presentation is supported by Land Arts of the American West at Texas Tech in the College of Architecture.<br /><br />The lecture is free and open to the public. Parking is available after 5:30 p.m. in lot R5 and the Flint Avenue Parking Facility.<br /><br />Call <a href="tel:806-742-1947" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(29, 30, 206); ">806-742-1947</a> for more information.<br /></span></span></p><p align="CENTER"><span style="font-family:Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; ">###</span></span></p><p><span style="font-family:Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; "><br /><b>Landscape as Knowledge<br /></b><br />Landscape as Knowledge is a yearlong series of public lectures, conversations and events to examine embodied intelligence within the augmented environment. It is a multidisciplinary approach to investigate how people see, conceive and depict the earth and what people find or do on it. Artists, art historians and scholars from various disciplines question how both the landscape and individuals are continually shaped and reshaped by an array of natural and cultural processes.<br /><br />The series was organized by the faculty of the School of Art in collaboration with faculty from the College of Architecture at Texas Tech University. Rick Dingus, professor in photography, Dr. Jorgelina Orfila, assistant professor in art history, Dr. Carolyn Tate, professor in art history, and Chris Taylor, assistant professor in architecture, are the core collaborating faculty organizing the year of events.<br /><br />Support comes from the Ryla T. and John F. Lott Endowment for Excellence in the Visual Arts, the College of Architecture, Land Arts of the American West and Landmark Arts at the School of Art.<br /><br />The exhibitions, speakers and related programs at the Texas Tech University School of Art are made possible, in part, by generous grants from the Helen Jones Foundation and The <u>CH</u> Foundation. Additional support comes from the cultural activities fees administered through the College of Visual & Performing Arts.<br /><br /><b>CONTACT: Joe Arredondo, Director of Landmark Arts<br /><a href="tel:806-742-1947" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(29, 30, 206);

font-family:arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;">ANNOUNCING:<br />THE ENVIRONMENTAL ARTIST IN RESIDENCE PROGRAM AT MCCOLL CENTER FOR VISUAL ART<br /><br />THE OPPORTUNITY<br />The community of Charlotte, NC and the McColl Center for Visual Art welcomes artists to create works<br />of environmental art in the public domain. The Environmental Artist-in-Residence (EAIR) program<br />encourages artists to have beneficial impacts on urban life through creation of art that is scientifically<br />relevant, meaningful and beneficial environmental art. Community outreach is an essential part of<br />McColl Center for Visual Art's mission. Volunteer groups, for which the greater Charlotte community is<br />well known, actively support the work of the Environmental Artist in Residence. These volunteers are<br />hands-on participants of all age groups and abilities.<br /><br />THE RESIDENCY PROGRAM<br />This special artist residency presents opportunities for established and emerging artists and<br />collaborators, as well as design professionals, to create installations that interact with the urban<br />environment and become remedial interventions. In addition to an honorarium, travel and living<br />accommodations, artists will receive a stipend for materials, technical advice or labor to assist them.<br />Residency periods vary from several weeks to 3 months.<br /><br />THE SITES:<br />McColl Center for Visual Art has secured several sites in metropolitan Charlotte for artists˙˙™ interventions<br />including urban creeks, parks, streetscapes and semi-rural lands. These sites represent opportunities<br />for artists who work in a remedial way with a site and who create projects that go beyond<br />documentation and demonstrations to bring benefit to a specific site.<br /><br />APPLICATION PROCESS:<br />View the application at: <a href="http://mccollcenter.org/documents/eair_application_2.2011_.pdf" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(29, 30, 206); ">http://mccollcenter.org/<wbr>documents/eair_application_2.<wbr>2011_.pdf</a><br />Deadline for Applications: preference given to artists who submit applications before May 1.2011. First artists will be selected and notified prior to June 1. 2011.</span>smudgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12049362367191357767noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6633625680830761789.post-55797018327478539992011-02-14T11:41:00.001-05:002011-02-14T11:41:53.902-05:00Submission Call #8 Grassroots Modernism: Journal of Aesthetics and Protest<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; border-collapse: collapse; "><blockquote type="cite"><div><div><b>Submission Call #8</b><br />Grassroots Modernism- movement for today's tomorrow.<br /><br /><i>We hear of rigorously pedestrian, joyful projects.<br />We hear of projects,we hear of movements.<br />Rumor has it that they are adamant.

This future is not the top-down technocratic, homicidal nightmare known as yesterday's modernism. Rather it is a future where our children are crafting their communities, councils and networks, and being. <i>Grassroots Modernism</i> is in contradiction explicitly to the current delusions of "impossibility", "aimlessness" and "realism." <i>Grassroots Modernism </i>must be realistic to localized situations and the general human capacity to dream together, build together… and chill out.<br /><br />The strength, but also the limitations of current social practices are now clear. Some are just cashed out, others are easily normalized within the neo-liberal city. All the while, the earth gets more polluted, our children are educated with crap, and governments tell us we are more and more screwed by some unwitting invisible hand.<br /><i><br />Grassroots Modernism</i> doesn't just talk about itself, it is visible in the generative presence of idealistic social formations. It is not necessarily<span><span> </span></span> art-historical, though it is aware of how culture has always mattered.<br /><br />To again be modern (here, modern=present in the future), we need to assess how neo-liberal regimes have crushed our capacity to realize our capacities- to articulate new understandings of social wealth, liberated corporeal presences.<br /><br />We understand how neoliberal ideology from the most cellular level inside our wee bodies on up, has crushed solidarity, denied collective right to a good life, obliterated common interests. Yet as editors, we know that practice within grassroots communities, studios and movements best clarify these notions by demonstrating neoliberalism's creative undoings.<br /><br />We are looking for critique and reflection on what does and does not work. Now, now that tomorrow is a reality and our ideals are a possibility. That is a good thing, especially when our strategies, tactics, dreams and beauties come into effect.<br /><br /><b>What we may be looking for:</b><br /><br /> projects from or in the context of collaborative or collective practices.<br /> grounded in specific practices in context to movement or scene building<br /> grounded in occupation<br /> lessons learned and best practices<br /> constructive criticality<br /> that are of the flesh, for our flesh<br /> things that effect the ways we think about our lives<br /> that are strategic propositions to the readership on constituting movements.<br /> affect in effect<br /> art with a role in a movement<br /> strategic propositions toward constituting movement<br /> new or old things<br /><br /><b>Note :</b>This submission call is a provocation as much as it is a request for archival material.<br /> Proposals can be sent to us before you have the capacity to understand what it is you might really be writing, creating or </div><div> organizing.<br /><br /><b>To submit:</b><br />LENGTH: Proposals can be short, one (1) paragraph is fine.<br />CONTENTS: Please provide us with enough information to be able to grasp what you are aiming at.<br />ETC: Please make sure your contact info is up to date.<br />DEADLINE: April 1st, 2011<br />SEND: <a href="mailto:editors@joaap.org" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(29, 30, 206); ">editors@joaap.org</a><br />PROCESS: After the deadline, we will review submissions and be in touch as soon as our schedules allow.<br />NOTE :We are imagining a relatively long writing and editing period.

But that’s changing. (We reported our first whiff of this change in a recent FOP post: <a title="Geologic time is now" href="http://fopnews.wordpress.com/2011/01/06/2010/07/21/geologic-time-is-now/" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(153, 90, 41); text-decoration: none; ">geologic time is now)</a>. Something is happening to and with the ways people take up “the geologic,” and that’s intriguing to us as Friends of the Pleistocene.</p><p>Contemporary artists, popular culture producers, and even philosophers are adding new layers of meaning and sensation to “geologic.” Humans seem to be sensing (in new ways?) that the geologic is not only an area of scientific study–it’s also a condition of daily life.</p><p><a href="http://fopnews.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/iss011-e-10207.jpg" style="color: rgb(153, 90, 41); text-decoration: none; "><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1544" title="ISS011-E-10207" src="http://fopnews.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/iss011-e-10207.jpg?w=640&h=428" alt="" width="640" height="428" style="border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: black; border-right-color: black; border-bottom-color: black; border-left-color: black; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; " /></a><span style="font-size: 10px; ">Nevada Forest Fire, 2005, image <a href="http://eol.jsc.nasa.gov/" style="color: rgb(153, 90, 41); text-decoration: none; ">NASA Johnson Space Center – Earth Sciences and Image Analysis (NASA-JSC-ES&IA)</a></span></p><p>At some point in the recent past, the geologic became sense-able (with new physical intensity and from new angles of thought) as a situation that we live within, not just something “out there” that we study.</p><p>Contemporary visual culture, art practices, ideas and values are now signaling the fact that the geologic is a force in contemporary life. There seems to be a growing recognition that the geologic, both as a material dynamic and as a preoccupation, shapes the “now” in ever more direct and urgent ways, through geologic forces such as: <em>deep time, slow accumulations and metamorphoses of the world’s materiality, tectonic plate movements, erosion and displacement of landforms, dramatic earth reshaping events, geo-bio interactions. </em>These are forces to be reckoned with existentially, creatively, and pragmatically as humans work to meet the fact that our species is both vulnerable to geologic forces and also has become a geologic force on the planet.</p><p>You could say the geologic has become a condition of contemporaneity.</p><p>And that brings us to contemporary art practices. One definition of contemporary art is “art created within the conditions of contemporaneity.” As if embodying that definition, FOP and other artists are making work <em>within the geologic as a condition of our present time.</em></p><p>Many contemporary artists now locate their work primarily within the situation of the geologic–within the jostling and unstable physical, social, political, and economic situations that arise from and act back upon geologic materialities and forces. And they actualize their inspiration, motivation, materials, and gestures there. The result is a growing body of aesthetic works and practices that plumb the geologic depth of “now.”</p><p>If we were to say what’s propelling this geologic turn in our own work, and more broadly within visual culture, we’d point in at least two directions.</p><p><strong>First</strong>, we’d cite recent <strong>“natural” and human-made events,</strong> some unprecedented in scale and consequence. These seem to have compounded–both actually and within human consciousness–to lay bare the reality of just how deeply human life is embedded in the <a href="http://fopnews.wordpress.com/2011/01/06/geoturn/canopycanopycanopy.com/static/5/the_matter_of.../ins_declaration.pdf" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(153, 90, 41); text-decoration: none; ">“brute materiality of the external world”</a>–in the very “stuff” of the geologic.</p><p>A few examples: the discovery in 1997 of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLrVCI4N67M" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(153, 90, 41); text-decoration: none; ">The Great Pacific Garbage Patch; </a>the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami; Hurricane Katrina (2005); the 2010 eruption and disruption of Eyjafjallajökull; the 2010 Haiti Earthquake; increasing awareness of and <a href="http://www.shakeout.org/" style="color: rgb(153, 90, 41); text-decoration: none; ">preparedness efforts</a> for the long overdue “big one” along the San Andreas Fault in California; <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/26/science/earth/26norfolk.html" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(153, 90, 41); text-decoration: none; ">ever-clearer signs</a> of climate change both man-made and earth-made; recent “near misses” of earth by <a href="http://www.wired.com/wiredscience/2010/01/wednesdays-near-earth-asteroid-caught-on-film/" style="color: rgb(153, 90, 41); text-decoration: none; ">asteroids</a>; growing stockpiles of high level nuclear waste and the urgent attempts to <a href="http://fopnews.wordpress.com/2010/02/24/containing-uncertainity-design-for-infinite-quarantine/" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(153, 90, 41); text-decoration: none; ">design ways to contain it</a>–within the geologic–for up to 1 million years; the 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico; geologic-scale engineering projects capable of altering planetary dynamics, such as the Three Gorges Dam in China and carbon sequestering.<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLrVCI4N67M" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(153, 90, 41); text-decoration: none; "></a></p><p><a href="http://fopnews.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/waste.jpg" style="color: rgb(153, 90, 41); text-decoration: none; "><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1549" title="waste" src="http://fopnews.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/waste.jpg?w=600&h=429" alt="" width="600" height="429" style="border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: black; border-right-color: black; border-bottom-color: black; border-left-color: black; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; " /></a><span style="font-size: 10px; "><a href="http://www.doedigitalarchive.doe.gov/ImageDetailView.cfm?ImageID=2014726&page=search&pageid=thumb" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(153, 90, 41); text-decoration: none; ">DOE image</a>, retrieval of buried nuclear waste at Hanford, 2005</span></p><p><strong>Second</strong>, we’d point to <strong>new developments in human thought and culture</strong>. These include new scientific understandings of geologic dynamics–especially the deep interplays between the geo and the bio; shifts in popular consciousness about the relation of the human to the geo; emerging philosophical concepts that use the geologic as metaphor, model, and inspiration for thinking about space, time, and change; radically new insights about our own evolution and existence as the result of an immensely long process of geologic time; and qualitatively new ways the humans experience time and space on planet earth.</p><p><strong></strong>These new ways of making sense of the geologic are being made thinkable and possible by new technologies and unprecedented lived experiences. For example:</p><p>New tools for <strong>visualizing the geologic </strong>may have precipitated the current turn from seeing the geologic as an area of scientific study that is abstract at best (nerdy hobby at worst) to experiencing the geologic vividly as a situation of daily life. Perhaps the turn began in 1972, on the day that humans first saw the “<a href="http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Features/BlueMarble/BlueMarble_history.php" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(153, 90, 41); text-decoration: none; ">blue marble</a>” photograph of earth taken by Apollo 17 astronauts from 28,000 miles out. Our abilities to visualize Earth as a wholly interconnected and dynamic geo-bio system have grown only more acute, refined, and now even interactively palpable thanks to Google Earth. Today, dynamic imaging technologies allow us to “see” and “sense” unimaginably slow and vast geologic dynamics as “flows.” Data animations make geo-forms such as mountains and deserts perceptible as motion through time.</p><p>Because of such vivid experiences–first hand, mediated, and imagined–it’s becoming increasingly possible, even necessary, for humans to further heighten our abilities for <strong>sensing geologic time.</strong> In the 1980s, word started getting out that the geologic conditions of life on earth can be–and have been–transformed in an instant: dinosaurs probably went extinct because of an<a href="http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/evolution/extinction/dinosaurs/conclusion.html" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(153, 90, 41); text-decoration: none; ">asteroid impact</a>. Today, some scientists think dinosaurs were wiped out by <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1173846/Bang-goes-theory-Dinosaur-extinction-volcano-NOT-asteroid.html" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(153, 90, 41); text-decoration: none; ">volcanic eruptions</a> in India. Regardless, their disappearance happened fast and most likely because of geologic events that were planetary in scale. Journalists and Hollywood filmmakers are peaking audiences’ curiosities–and even adding to the scientific knowledge of laypersons–about very real (past and future) catastrophic geologic events.

No nuclear waste needed to be stored. Carbon emissions didn’t exist. And the oceans contained zero tons of plastic. Two hundred years ago, concerns about what the planet might be like in 1000 years seemed irrelevant. No longer. In the face of rapid planetary-scale change, much of which has been human designed, today’s humans are confronted with realizing that life on earth hasn’t been like “this”, or looked like “us” for long at all. Humans seem to be having first inklings of the reality that geologic time hasn’t been composed of us–though we are composed of it. We (modern, Western people) are realizing all over again that our species’ existence is incredibly recent–that the human is a mere blip in geologic time. The sense of ourselves as a “blip” is only reinforced by the fact that “we” aren’t likely to be here much longer: most mammalian species last only one or two million years at the most, and the genus homo has already been around for almost 2.5 million years.</p><p>The internet and globalization (global flows and exchanges of information, human beings, manufactured products and earth materials) are radically transforming <strong>human experiences of time and space on earth</strong>.<strong> </strong>Philosophers and popular culture producers alike ponder the consequences for how humans sense and making meaning of time and space–including what it means to have a body. New, lived experiences of time open humans to evolving new ways to sense geologic time.</p><p>What we will make of our growing abilities and needs to sense geologic time, and what they will make of us, is a new and starkly different possibility. Already, in some realms of regional and urban “planning,” designing for geologic or “deep time” has become a design specification: deep geologic repositories for nuclear waste require engineers to plan for one million years into the future, and regional planners now actually consider what it might mean to design for the fact that the next ice age is a pretty sure thing.</p><p><a href="http://fopnews.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/risngcurrents_01c.jpg" style="color: rgb(153, 90, 41); text-decoration: none; "><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1551" title="RisngCurrents_01c" src="http://fopnews.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/risngcurrents_01c.jpg?w=650&h=428" alt="" width="650" height="428" style="border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: black; border-right-color: black; border-bottom-color: black; border-left-color: black; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; " /></a><span style="font-size: 10px; "><em>Rising Currents</em> exhibition entrance MoMA, <a href="http://moma.org/explore/inside_out/2010/10/08/rising-currents-rising-standards-graphic-design-takes-up-the-challenge" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(153, 90, 41); text-decoration: none; ">Photo: Jason Mandella</a></span></p><p>Most recently, thanks to <strong>transdisciplinary exchanges</strong> across traditional fields of science, it’s becoming difficult for geologists and biologists to distinguish between the “brute materiality” of geology’s “external world” (rocks, minerals, mountains) and the soft, “inner” worlds of biology’s living things. According to current science-based stories about life, earth, and life on earth, we humans are walking rocks–we are actually composed of geologic elements such as calcium, iron, phosphorous; from humans to lichen, comparatively tiny living organisms are key players in monumental geologic processes (the earth would have a completely different geologic self if there were no life on it); and the geologic must now be taken into account in any concept of “the environment.” Best sellers that help us think across biology, geology, and environmental sciences, such as “<a href="http://www.worldwithoutus.com/" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(153, 90, 41); text-decoration: none; ">The World Without Us</a>,” fuel another growing realization about deep time: while the human species can’t get along without the geologic, the geologic will continue on in some form or other long after we have ceased being part of it.</p><p><span style="font-size: 11.6667px; "><a href="http://fopnews.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/firefoxscreensnapz001.jpg" style="color: rgb(153, 90, 41); text-decoration: none; "><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1552" title="FirefoxScreenSnapz001" src="http://fopnews.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/firefoxscreensnapz001.jpg?w=659&h=431" alt="" width="659" height="431" style="border-top-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-top-style: solid; border-right-style: solid; border-bottom-style: solid; border-left-style: solid; border-top-color: black; border-right-color: black; border-bottom-color: black; border-left-color: black; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; " /></a></span><span style="font-size: 11px; ">“The Crude and the Rare,” curated by Saskia Bos and Steven Lam, at Cooper Union,<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/sixteen-miles/5098759580/" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(153, 90, 41); text-decoration: none; "> photo Andrew Russeth</a></span></p><p><strong>Contemporary artists, speculative architects, and hybridized cultural producers are making work from and within these events and ideas</strong>.
