The midden

The Midden marks the end of a five-year multidisciplinary research initiative on ecological issues in contemporary art. In response to the current oil-dependent society, termed fossil modernity, it aims at imagining new paths toward more livable futures. As its title suggests, editors Jenni Nurmenniemi and Tracey Warr use the idea of a compost hill to frame the book’s content – a complex and productive mixture of thought. -- Kustantaja.
