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. Plant?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. 410 0$aCritical Plant Studies$v5. 606 $aPlants in art 606 $aArts, Modern$y20th century$xThemes, motives 606 $aArts, Modern$y21st century$xThemes, motives 606 $aPlants and civilization 615 0$aPlants in art. 615 0$aArts, Modern$xThemes, motives. 615 0$aArts, Modern$xThemes, motives. 615 0$aPlants and civilization. 676 $a700/.464 701 $aAloi$b Giovanni$01066752 701 $aPicard$b Caroline$01066753 701 $aDavis$b Lucy$f1970-$01066754 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910511488103321 996 $aWhy look at plants$92549893 997 $aUNINA
