Nýló Reading Club: Andscapes: As the Bug Crawls
Anna Líndal will lead the discussion on the evening of Thursday, February 9th at 20:30 at the Living Art Museum, Marshall House. Berglind Jóna Hlynsdóttir will facilitate the evening. Anna Líndal has chosen Andscapes: As the Bug Crawls written by Elizabeth McTernan, which was published in Science OPEN 2021, to promote discussion around “what might be learned about a landscape if we measure its distance from a more surficial, earthbound perspective”. The conversation will take place in Icelandic.
About the Author
Elizabeth McTernan is an American-born artist and writer based in Berlin and Iowa City and a Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Iowa, School of Art and Art History. Her work is a research-oriented and mixed-media exploration of measurement and media ecologies. Sometimes this involves a cartography of landscapes: mountains, deserts, the coastlines of islands or puddles. Other times it involves a cartography of objects: lab artifacts, copper, rocks. Through an interdisciplinary practice of mapping, she problematizes and plays with methods of empiricism.
