The Desert Turned to Glass ist ein Ort, an dem das Kosmische und das Chthonische aufeinanderprallen. Anlässlich des hundertjährigen Jubiläums des Planetariums als architektonischem Typus versammelt dieses Buch eine neue Werkgruppe des kanadischen Künstlers Charles Stankievech. Thematisch erforscht das Projekt alternative Theorien über den Ursprung des Lebens, des Bewusstseins und der Kunst und schlägt eine Brücke zwischen den kosmologischen Visionen der Höhlenkunst und der modernen Technologie des Planetariums. In dem reich bebilderten Band werden Bilder von Stankievechs Installationen und filmischen Arbeiten mit für diese Projekte verfassten Schriften von Expert*innen aus den Bereichen Geologie, Exobiologie, die sich mit außerirdischem Leben befasst, Philosophie und Archäologie kombiniert. Vom Weltraum bis in die Tiefen der Erde: The Desert Turned to Glass ist eine epische Meditation über Ursprünge, Endszenarien und Unendlichkeit.CHARLES STANKIEVECH (*1978, Kanada) ist ein Künstler, der "Feldforschung" an der Schnittstelle von Geopolitik, Tiefenökologie und Klangresonanzen neu definiert. Von der nördlichsten Siedlung in der Arktis bis in die Tiefen des Pazifiks deckt Stankievech die Paradoxien unserer Existenz auf dem Planeten auf, indem er sich mit dem Unwahrnehmbaren beschäftigt. Er lehrt an der Universität von Toronto.

This was a good expose on how our government secures monies without you being aware of it for use in their useless game of punishment and the ultimate ruination of the towns in which they place these freaking Hell-holes

An excellent book...a must read!
Format: Paperback
Ruthie Gilmore's examination of California's prison-industrial complex paints a sobering portrait of the effects of the state's post-industrial decline in the past quarter century. Supplemented by numerous charts, maps, and statistics, Gilmore argues that the massive prison-building project that began in the early 1980s was rooted in earlier developments, namely the failure of the "welfare-warfare state" to absorb the numerous surpluses created by political and economic restructuring. Combining theory and historical-sociological analysis, this highly readable book is at once depressing and optimistic; it lays out the facts and guidelines for pursuing meaningful, antiracist struggles against the systemic dehumanization of immigrants, low-wage workers, and youths of color that continues to characterize U.S. political culture.
