Engaging Vegetation in the Arts

Abstract

This, the 16th issue of Ruukku – Studies in Artistic Research, focuses on artists, researchers, scholars, and artistic researchers who are working with the vegetal in various ways. In the call we invited artists and researchers with an experience of working with plants and vegetation in different ways to contribute to this issue with expositions or articles, accounts of work in progress, and artistic experiments. The title, Working with the Vegetal, came from four one-day seminars at Stockholm University of the Arts in 2018–2019, organized by the project Performing with Plants.
