Description
Discover the innovative work of artists Lonnie van Brummelen and Siebren de Haan in this bilingual edition of their insightful publication. The book, titled 'Drifting Studio Practice', engages readers in a thought-provoking analysis of their participatory documentaries, including 'Episode of the Sea' (2014) and 'Stones Have Laws' (2018). Delve into the dynamic collaboration with the Dutch fishing community of Urk and the Saamaka and Okanisi maroons of Suriname, a fascinating exploration of cultural intersections. This bilingual edition not only showcases the duo's artistic journey, but also emphasizes collective scriptwriting and performative storytelling techniques that integrate both human and non-human actors. As they peel back the layers of their earlier work, 'Monument of Sugar' (2007), this publication becomes an essential exploration of co-authorship and the implications of (non)human rights in response to the plantationocene. Suitable for art enthusiasts, cultural scholars, and anyone interested in contemporary practices that interrogate social and environmental narratives, this book offers a unique perspective on the evolving nature of art and activism. Perfect for your bookshelf, it engages and challenges conventional understandings while making an important contribution to the dialogue on collaboration in the arts.
