Artists meditate on the earthly phenomenon of vibrational fields in the Pacific region

This catalog is produced to accompany the exhibition Energy Fields: Vibrations of the Pacific, co-organized by Fulcrum Arts and Chapman University. The project invites artists, scientists, composers and cultural historians to explore vibration as a scientific phenomenon as well as a conduit for sensory experience and ways of knowing. Vibrations and their resulting waves shape our planet in myriad ways. But vibrations are also fundamental to human perception and consciousness, allowing us to register sound, light, color and movement. Energy Fields considers the Pacific Rim, home to the earth's most seismically active continental plates, as a zone where different vibrations of different types powerfully intersect, informing our understanding of the world as well as shaping unique cultural practices.
Artists include: David Haines, Joyce Hinterding, Steve Roden, Malena Szlam, Alba Triana, Virginia Katz.

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
