Queer Ecologies II at Kansas City’s Charlotte Street Foundation Challenges What We Think Is “Natural”

#midwestagendaartnews #queerecologies #contemporaryart #queerecology #artnews #galleryopening

Last year, I wrote an essay titled 'Queer Ecologies Without Nature' on this very issue in the representations of taxidermy dioramas in natural history museums.

Like it or not, nature is queer...

The Queer Fatality of Norwegian Nature – Deshima This contribution explores the novels Footsteps of Fate (Noodlot, published 1890) by Dutch author Louis Couperus and Monsieur Antinoüs et Madame Sapho (published 1899) by French writer Luis d’Herdy [a pseudonym for Louis Didier], together with the pseudonymously published German short story “Suicide” (“Freitod,” published 1924). In these texts, continental ideas of societal decadence meet a Norwegian landscape conceived as sublime and powerful. While Couperus constructs a fatalist plot in keeping with degeneration theory, d’Herdy treats derogatory conceptions of homosexuality in ludic ways. In the short story, the masculinist ideology of the interwar Männerbund is tied to an idea of the sublime and ultra-vital North, demonstrating how how ideas of the sublime North could undergird a celebration of male same-sex desire, albeit with misogynist and elitist aspects.

A series of photos showing Sage moving/dancing on a grazed hillside in a Northern landscape. The sky behind her is blue, streaked dramatically with pale cloud. She is wearing outdoor gear and a pink bobble hat. She moves clumsily, but with a taught and explosive energy that is its own form of elegance :)

An entire museum filled with tens of discarded furniture, thousands of aluminum cans and other discarded items, forcing visitors to navigate through an overwhelming environment of consumer waste.

Overconsumption called.
It wants its entire living room back.

Time to redecorate the future.

Me in my natural habitat?

… ideas about what is native, or natural, or appropriate. And we would focus our closest attention on diversity of relationships 3/3
.
How else might #queerecologies #transecologies shape how we think about #conservation, #rewilding, and #habitatrestoration?

Photograph of a rock face on which somebody has drawn in colour pencils, highlighting natural features of the rock in vivid colour

Photograph of a beach in Pembrokeshire in the foreground is large, square rock on which somebody has drawn in colour pastels. The words ‘power from separation’ are superimposed on an abstract arrangement of line and tone that explores the natural shape and texture of the rock. The sea is abime silver in the far distance with looming headlands to either side

Trialled my first #queerecologies #transecologies #drawing workshop last week, on a stunning beach in Pembrokeshire. Exploring #edgeeffects, #liminality and #negativespaces. A triad of #oystercatchers turned up just as we were wrapping up, to add their queer blessing to the day

Thanks to the wonderful Cristina Baldacci and Emiliano Guaraldo of Ca' Foscari University for the kind invitation to participate and expert editorial guidance.

It’s been a looong gestation but my graphic article on the significance of #queerecologies for #criticalgeography is finally in production. Trying to stay patient with the process and looking forward very much to finally sharing it with the world!
