ART FOR RADICAL ECOLOGIES MANIFESTO | book launch & panel

At GATHERING INTO THE MAELSTROM | Sale Docks 19 april 2024

Panel with contributors: Françoise Vergès, Manuel Borja Villel, Ashley Dawson, Oliver Ressler, Raluca Voinea, Ovidiu Tichindeleanu, Francesco Martone, Andreco, Maddalena Fragnito, Federica Timeto,, Emanuele Braga, Marco Baravalle.

The book Art for Radical Ecologies (manifesto) (forthcoming bruno, Venice 2024)  is the second volume of the IRI Series whose aim is to produce knowledge in common and around commoning situated at the intersection between art, pedagogy and activism for a transition towards post capitalism.

The Art For Radical Ecologies Manifesto was co-written in a series of assemblies between 2021-2022. Art is a powerful tool for imagining different types of ecological relationships beyond the anthropocentric paradigm. At the same time though, our manifesto states the importance of positioning ourselves as art workers within the struggle for climate justice, starting by refusing the use of art as greenwashing and the sponsorship of oil and fossil fuels companies. Our manifesto tries to look beyond the current neoliberal regime of the arts, with its ties to class, gender, race and species forms of oppression. The book features the voice of artists, museum directors, scholars and activists who address the link between art and ecology from different perspectives: class, decoloniality, transfeminism and antispecism.

Contributors: Léna Balaud , Marco Baravalle, Mike Bonanno The Yes Men, Manolo Borja-Villel, Emanuele Braga, Andrea Conte Andreco, Ashley Dawson, Isa Fremeaux & Jay Jordan: The Laboratory of Insurrectionary Imagination, Oliver Ressler, Francoise Vergès in conversation with Maddalena Fragnito and Marco Baravalle, Tiziana Terranova, Federica Timeto, Ovidiu Țichindeleanu & Raluca Voinea, Rosa Jijon & Francesco Martone in converstaion with Boloh Miranda, Anamaria Garzón, Sofía Acosta Varea.

YES MEN

Son un dúo de activistas formado por Andy Bichlbaum y Mike Bonanno que practican lo que ellos llaman "corrección de identidad", que trata básicamente de desenmascarar a las corporaciones multinacionales y a todo el entramado de intereses políticos y económicos tendentes a su protección en perjuicio de los ciudadanos de todo el planeta.

Se hacen pasar por personas poderosas y portavoces de organizaciones prominentes, aceptando las invitaciones recibidas en sus páginas web para aparecer en conferencias y programas de televisión. Luego usan su autoridad recientemente adquirida para expresar la idea de que las corporaciones y organizaciones gubernamentales a menudo actúan en modos deshumanizantes hacia el público en general.

Su método usualmente es la sátira: haciéndose pasar por portavoces corporativos o del gobierno, suelen hacer comentarios chocantes y denigrantes sobre los trabajadores y consumidores.

Los Yes Men se han hecho pasar por portavoces de organizaciones tales como la OMC, McDonald's, Dow Chemical, entre otras.

reading response #2

the section i will be talking about is, Imposture As Art: The Yes Men

The Yes Men are a well-known activists group that are led by two friends who started and met the group based and similar interests and works. the two leaders are Mike Bonanno and Andy Bichlbaum, and were introduced to each other by friends who noticed that individually, many of their works deal with the same issues centered around creative protests on gender and sexuality. the two are known for inciting works like that of Bichlbaum in which he created a glitch in the computer Sims game that made Sim characters go into a crazy fit, dressed in speedos, all the male Sims go into a “kissing frenzy”. Other stunts and interventions the pair have pulled are the re-routing of contact email addresses and the consistent exploiting and manipulating of the HTML codes on websites. The work that these two deal with is really cool because it is mostly centered in technology and very creative little tricks to do interventions of sorts. The pair say their work is interested in derailing the kind of capitalism that leads to extreme poverty and starvation, as well as huge environment issues. The two have been actively putting out interventions in art for decades now and are very well known.

ASSEMBLY #3

impulsed by Institute of Radical Imagination aims at co-writing the 

ART FOR RADICAL ECOLOGIES MANIFESTO

Participants a.o.

Institute of Radical Imagination (Marco Baravalle, Emanuele Braga, Sara Buraya, Maddalena Fragnito, Gabriella Riccio, Federica Timeto), The Yes Men (Mike Bonanno) and Barbie Liberation Organization, Andreco Climate Art Project, Ashley Dawson, Terike Haapoja, Andrea Natella, Noura Tafeche, Serpica Naro, Dirty Art Department (Jerszy Seymour, Theo Dietz e Rosa Meulenbeld), Effimera (Giorgio Griziotti), Tiziana Terranova, and the contribution in remote by Arts for the Commons A4C (Rosa Jijón and Francesco Martone) and Laboratory of Insurrectionary Imagination (Isabelle Fremeaux & Jay Jordan)

The Milano World Congress for Climate Justice is the opportunity to bring together art and performing arts workers to continue a discussion that will lead to the collective writing of a manifesto on the role of art in the struggle for climate justice and in the creation of new ecologies (which take into account the intersection of environmental and social facts). If the pandemic had already dramatically underlined the consequences of extractivist anthropization, the war in Ukraine (in addition to its immediate death toll) is a manifestation of what Andreas Malm has called ‘fossil fascism’, a mix of authoritarianism and fossil fuels that weakens the already insufficient measures to combat global warming. The scarcity of Russian gas has brought coal back into vogue and, in Italy, the construction of new re-gasifiers is on the agenda. The decision to organize the workshop at the World Congress for Climate Justice 2023 reflects our belief in the importance of freeing art from the capture of institutional circuits. We want to experience, as participants in social movements, aesthetic-political concatenations that interpret creativity as a radical character of the social and not as a commodity. The participants also share the conviction that the fight for climate justice is, necessarily, a fight against and beyond extractive capitalism, even in its green version (actually an attempt to turn the crisis into new accumulation). The workshop will involve discussion and co-creation starting from the practices of the invited guests around certain central themes: the use of art as a method of inquiry and visualization in the climate crisis; the production of activist art forms that look at the performativity of direct action; art as a ground for radical imagination in designing new ecologies that reshape the relationship between human and non-human; art as an archive of movement practices, and so on.

Nyadzombe Nyampenza in NYC, Day 5

Lunch with Steven Rand. Conversation was very engaging. Steven’s ideas about art as a commodity and its impact are illuminating. I believe they can change a lot of people's minds and careers. As a one-on-one conversation coming across the table, they are transforming. It feels like that one chance to get sincere advice from a very experienced and knowledgeable person. This could be the moment responsible for adjustment to the trajectory of my career, I think. Such moments are never presented to us with a flourish and a dramatic soundtrack. Hard to explain now, but this will be an important day for me in retrospect.

Deliver Meals to Homebound Residents w/ Tenants Association

It was touching to feel the gratitude of homebound seniors and adults when I knocked on their doors and delivered groceries on behalf of Tenants Association. There was a warmth in interaction that never encountered from a total stranger before. It seemed our humanity had expanded.

The online lecture about the Yes Men showcases an interesting means of communication. It is amazing that what the duo of Andy Bichlbaum and Mike Bonanno, do against government and corporate entities may be daring and disruptive but cannot be prosecuted as crime.
