With Poland, the Dorothea von Stetten Art Prize 2022 is dedicating to an extremly polyphonic, vital, and highly reflective art scene- despite, or perhaps, precisely because of the historically often turbulent and currently once again difficult political situation. On the social foundation of a still quite rigid Catholicism (98% of the Polish population describe themselves as practicing Catholics) on the one hand, and an urban neoliberalism on the other, many of the frequently performative and installational artistic projects tend to revolve around issues of identity, nationality and religion. The contemporary young scene thereby differentiates itself from the representatives of the " critical art" of the 1990s, such as Pawel Althamer and Artur Zmijewski, as well as from the post-Communist generation of painters, such as Wilhelm Sasnal and Rafal Bujnowski, who in the 2000s placed everyday life and its apparent banalities more clearly in the foreground of their research. The selection of the positions represented in the catalog impressively reflects the range, intensity and critical depth with which the young generation of Polish artists approaches their thematic fields.

Climates. Habitats. Environments.
<b>Artists and writers go beyond disciplinary boundaries and linear histories to address the fight for environmental justice, uniting the Asia-Pacific vantage point with international discourse.</b> <p/>Modeling the curatorial as a method for uniting cultural production and science, <i>Climates. Habitats. Environments.</i> weaves together image and text to address the global climate crisis. Through exhibitions, artworks, and essays, artists and writers transcend disciplinary boundaries and linear histories to bring their knowledge and experience to bear on the fight for environmental justice. In doing so, they draw on the rich cultural heritage of the Asia-Pacific, in conversation with international discourse, to demonstrate transdisciplinary solution-seeking. <p/>Experimental in form as well as in method, <i>Climates. Habitats. Environments.</i> features an inventive book design by mono.studio that puts word and image on equal footing, offering a multiplicity of media, interpretations, and manifestations of interdisciplinary research. For example, botanist Matthew Hall draws on Ovid's <i>Metamorphoses</i> to discuss human-plant interpenetration&#x3b; curator and writer Venus Lau considers how spectrality consumes--and is consumed--in animation and film, literature, music, and cuisine&#x3b; and critical theorist and filmmaker Elizabeth Povinelli proposes "Water Sense" as a geontological approach to "the question of our connected and differentiated existence," informed by the "ancestral catastrophe of colonialism." Artists excavate the natural and cultural DNA of indigo, lacquer, rattan, and mulberry&#x3b; works at the intersection of art, design, and architecture explore "The Posthuman City"&#x3b; an ongoing research project investigates the ecological urgencies of Pacific archipelagos. The works of art, the projects, and the majority of the texts featured in the book were commissioned by NTU Centre for Contemporary Art Singapore. <p/>Copublished with NTU Centre for Contemporary Art Singapore
