Research funded by Fonds Darstellende K\u00fcnste<\/a><\/h6>\n\n\n\n

HYENAZ<\/a> (Mad Kate and Adrienne Teicher) are currently engaged in a series of discussions and close reading groups, a continuation of the research for their audio-visual work and performative intervention EXTRACTION, the fifth in their “Foreign Bodies” project. Extraction explores how extractive processes are replicated within the arts, and how we can find ways to resist and mediate those processes. The initial research phase of this project began in June 2021 and was generously funded by Fonds Darstellende K\u00fcnste. More information about their process can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The project began with our field work in a rock quarry in Apricena, Italy, where we gathered sounds, images and writing. This scar in the earth \u2013 both beautiful and disturbing \u2013 illuminated our role as artists in a society structured by extractive forms of capitalism. To develop a performative response, we will focus on accountability practices and proactive techniques to resist extractivist practices\u2014especially looking inwards at the way in which gathering sound can be fundamentally extractive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The concept of extraction situates all kinds of \u201cinnocent practices\u201d as carrying the potential for exploitation and harm. We use extraction as metasignifier\u2014we include the extraction of (creative) labour from (precarious) bodies, minerals, gas and water from the ground, sounds, words and images from sentient beings, as well as the \u201cmining of the exotic\u201d from our very selves. In response we ask: What are the problematics of extraction which appear within (always-already) hierarchical collaborations? How can processes compromised by extractive dynamics resist extraction? How can we name them, rather than erase them? What are the limitations of the extractivist framework? Are there other ways of finding reciprocal relations between artists, subjects, and nature?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We want to especially thank Donato, Maria-Teresa and the community in and around Apricena, Italy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
