This forest colloquium is organized alongside the exhibition Eight Degrees \/ Contemporary Art on the Forest in collaboration with UmArts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As part of the UmArts community, the Geopolitics of the Forests group hosts artist and filmmaker Eva la Cour as guest presenter and respondent. Considering la Cour’s work with geoaesthetics and her “fundamental dissatisfaction with the representational discourse, and its historical and colonial legacy”,<\/em> the working group will present and contrast mediations of research from our respective disciplines and perspectives in regards to forests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The day will begin with a walk through the current Eight Degrees\/Contemporary Art on the Forest<\/em> exhibition at Bildmuseet as context, and an initial live narrated screening of la Cour’s recent film work. Then the group members will present in various formats, with research representation and environmental remediation as loose common concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Geopolitics of the Forests is a group of scholars at UmArts who study the forest from different disciplinary perspectives. The day\u2019s moderator and organizer is Luis Berr\u00edos Negr\u00f3n, chair of the Group, Associate Professor at Ume\u00e5 School of Architecture, and a Research Fellow at UmArts Research Center for Architecture, Design, and the Arts at Ume\u00e5 University.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

The Geopolitics of the Forest working group meets regularly to share their research on the geopolitics of the forest across art, architecture, political science and landscape ecology. The group are exploring how to develop holistic and interdisciplinary understandings of the human \/ forest relationship that can represent multiple, overlapping and conflicting interests. They aim to develop a shared critical space for new collaborative artistic research projects which deal with the ethical complexities of forestry in relation to the climate crisis, to reconsider the language and aesthetics of sustainability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The meetings investigate multidisciplinary approaches to the human and nonhuman entanglements of the forest in Northern Sweden. Research questions investigate the ethical aesthetics of different kinds of woodlands and their material and geopolitical networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Geopolitics of the Forest Working Group is chaired by Luis Berrios-Negron, UmArts Research Fellow in Art and Architecture. Members include: Gerd Aurell, artist; James B. Brown, architect; Sofia Johansson, curator; Toms Kokins, architect; Lars \u00d6stlund, forest historian; Edith Marie Pasquier, artist; Janina Priebe, political science; Moa Sandstr\u00f6m, S\u00e1mi studies; Per Sandstr\u00f6m, landscape ecologist, and many others who come to share their research, practices and ideas.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Geopolitics of the Forest","post_excerpt":"The Forest working group meets regularly to share their research on the geopolitics of the forest across art, architecture, political science and landscape ecology.
