THE POLITICS OF ATTENTION II:Self and Other in the Shared World

MARX FOR CATS APPLIED
Caroline Woolard / Leigh Claire La Berge / and invited
speakers. In this session, we will swim, dine, and deliberate about keywords in capitalism, animal studies, and contemporary art. Critical theorist La Berge will lead the reading discussions. Artists Wang, Williamson, and Woolard will run seminars and workshops on site-specific projects, performance, irony, and topics that emerge from a collective interest in real-time. Marxists are cat theorists. Marx himself hailed from a land of cats, and his family lineage bears the feline mark.
ONGOING AUGUST 10 THROUGH OCTOBER
PHILOBIBLISTS / BIBLIOPHANTICS
An intensive Reading Residency. An enchanting residency with the Mildred’s Lane Library, with volumes to consume, quietly --aloud -– socially -- privately. The library is diverse in non-fiction; participate in broadening the contents with field trips to local second-hand bookstores collecting. Silent periods of reading grow into evening socials, library games, and authors’ performances. Special guest author appearances TBA.
ONGOING SINCE 2006
MILDRED ARCHAEOLOGY
A Mildred’s Lane project. We continue to study the site of The Mildred’s Lane Transhistorical Society and Museum, an ongoing project at the heart of the greater Mildred’s Lane project. An archaeological investigation of embedded histories focusing on the 1830’s farmhouse and surrounds. Historians, archivists, conservators, preservationists, and artists are in collaboration beyond and into the future culminating in a large-scale, site-sensitive installation – The Mildred House.
ONGOING SINCE 1997
WORKSTYLING WILDING
A Mildred’s Lane project. Wildcrafting is a term that conscientiously defines food as naturally medicinal, always with concerns for a sustainable future. Fellows will be engaged in a detailed study of the landscape at Mildred’s Lane while practicing forage routines with a focus on stylistically transforming new gardening systems. The Mildred’s Lane Library holds a large body of field guides for plant, moss, mushroom, tree identification, and will aid foraging explorations with local naturalists in these weeds and woods.
