Eden Martin and Their Genetic Lives
<p>This text about the intersection of art and agriculture describes our era where the desertification of both soils and imaginations has brought productivism up against its limits. From the genetico-culture that took off in the early 2000s to farmer-artists with superexploited egos, it uses a series of examples – the Women’s Lands in Oregon and Gianfranco Baruchello’s Agricola Cornelia, among others – to explore the frictions between the autonomy of art and political autonomy as a means to write narratives on and with living things. This text is part of a series of publications in conjunction with the group show <em>Les vies génétiques d’Eden Martin</em> held at the biodynamic farm of Aude and Antoine Hentsch.</p>
