Through the original contributions of artists, scholars, and curators who have creatively engaged with the ultimate otherness of plants in their work, this volume maps and problematizes new intra-active, agential interconnectedness involving human-non-human biosystems central to artistic and philosophical discourses of the Anthropocene. 0Plant's fixity, perceived passivity, and resilient silence have relegated the vegetal world to the cultural background of human civilization. However, the recent emergence of plants in the gallery space constitutes a wake-up-call to reappraise this relationship at a time of deep ecological and ontological crisis. Why Look at Plants? challenges readers' pre-established notions through a diverse gathering of insights, stories, experiences, perspectives, and arguments encompassing multiple disciplines, media, and methodologies. 650 0 $a Plants in art. 650 0 $a Arts, Modern $y 20th century $x Themes, motives. 650 0 $a Arts, Modern $y 21st century $x Themes, motives. 650 0 $a Plants and civilization. 700 1 $a Aloi, Giovanni, $e contributor. $e contributor. 700 1 $a Picard, Caroline, $e contributor. 700 1 $a Davis, Lucy, $d 1970- $e contributor. 776 08 $i Online version: $t Why look at plants? $d Leiden ; Boston : Brill, 2018 $z 9789004375253 $w (DLC) 2018042948 830 0 $a Critical plant studies; $v 5. 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20230907011659.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213014848.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=358DF050E5A311E9B7B99A5997128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
