Black Ecologies

While the adjective "black" or “dark” encompasses the “murky” condition of urban, peri-urban – and increasingly para-natural – scenarios and materials, its sustainable complement (“ecologies”) posits the need to foster an investigation of “environmental conditions” that leave behind the Bucolic, the Platonic and/or Apollonian ideal: “environmental conditions” in which parameters of “noise”, pollution, attrition, corruption and/or hybridization are considered as a substantive part of the processes being addressed.
