"This brilliant collection of essays and projects, gathered from
all over the world, reflects the limits and possibilities of how
visual art might respond to what Sylv�re Lotringer describes as a
"state of emergency." Art in the Anthropocene is at once an
investigation and an homage to the natural world. It describes what
we possess and what we have lost." - Chris Kraus, author of Where
Art Belongs
"Art in the Anthropocene is an art book like no other, embracing an
extraordinary range of subjects that affect what we call "our"
environment. Visual artists are, for once, equal participants in
these imaginative, intelligent, and informative discussions of the
most pressing issues of our time, and deep time." - Lucy R.
Lippard, author of Undermining: A Wild Ride through Land Use,
Politics and Art in the Changing West
"Call it the Anthropocene, the #misanthropocene, or something else
- there's a growing recognition that these are damaged times, even
if nobody is quite sure how to see, think, or feel them. That's why
Art in the Anthropocene is so important. Davis and Turpin have
gathered up the seeds for a whole biome of art and thought about
the things that really matter in this world." - McKenzie Wark,
author of Molecular Red: Theory for the Anthropocene
