In the Salon del Pueblo Fragil: Arte Australiano Actual

Art's HIstories

Dr Kellie Jones acknowledged for challenging the dominant art history paradigm with a MacArthur Fellowship

" Jones has devoted her life to challenging the oversimplified and whitewashed mainstream narratives of art history, incorporating artists of color into the canon and the conversation. In addition to serving as an associate professor in the Department of Art History and Archaeology at Columbia University, Jones has curated groundbreaking exhibitions including “Energy/Experimentation: Black Artists and Abstraction, 1964–1980” (2006), “Now Dig This! Art and Black Los Angeles, 1960–1980” (2011), and “Witness: Art and Civil Rights in the Sixties” (2014). "

Anthropocene, Capitalocene, Chthulucene

Donna Haraway
Tentacular Thinking: Anthropocene, Capitalocene, Chthulucene 
e-flux #75 09/2016

'With all the unfaithful offspring of the sky gods, with my littermates who find a rich wallow in multispecies muddles, I want to make a critical and joyful fuss about these matters. I want to stay with the trouble, and the only way I know to do that is in generative joy, terror, and collective thinking.'

Additionally

MacKenzie Wark, Chthulucene, Capitalocene, Anthropocene

'It’s not the end of the world, but it is the end of pre-history. It is time to announce in the marketplace of social media that the God who still hid in the worldview of an ecology that was self-correcting, self-balancing and self-healing – is dead.'
