“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

Fieldclub at the Serpentine

Paul Chaney, Slug-o-Metric

Paul Chaney has made some wonderful things and some of his work is in my ecology books. This is one of his upcoming events, in London. 

FIELDCLUB is pleased to announce that we will be presenting a short talk entitled 'Some Aspects of Neo-agrosophy' at the Serpentine Gallery Garden Marathon on Saturday 15th October at approximately 16:20pm.

'The Serpentine Gallery Garden Marathon is the sixth in the Gallery’s acclaimed Marathon series. This two-day event is an exploration of the concept of the garden and inspired by the Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 2011 designed by Peter Zumthor and the garden inside, designed by Piet Oudolf.  Contributions will include explorations of the spatial, urban and scientific importance of gardens by key figures from horticulture, design and architecture. The Marathon will also present works by artists, poets, writers and philosophers, exploring the significance of the garden in our experience of the world, as well as cutting-edge research in biodiversity, conservation and genetics.
