🧪 Declaration of intention to attract and retain scientific research in Europe, with an intended timing regarding 👊🇺🇸🔥 (I mean "US governance" 🤭).

And more declarations. Target of 3% gdp for research among others.
To be sum up with the 5% (wannabe) for war, that makes... percents and percents...

Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

My sculpture Chronic Emergency. 🚨 it inflates and deflates to the rhythm of 4-7-8 breathing; the breaths you take for a panic attack, and it is pink.

The implied logic of who gets to be “a real artist” is very classist, but pretends not to be. One can be hanging around in Athens somehow and affording to do kind of nothing but they can’t be making small works just to make money.
If we want to see diversity…

I have a book coming out soon, a printed version of the lecture I gave at the University of Alberta last year. It is called Bodies of Art, Bodies of Labour, it's about art and class. It's out on Feb 4, and here is an excerpt at Quill and Quire. quillandquire.com/omni/excerpt...

It isn’t the job of art to be morally impeccable. It is the job of art to be in the mess with everybody else. It is not the job of art to stand above and apart the rest of the world. It is the job of art and artist to be part of the world and to give expression to things that are left unsaid….

It’s completely possible & even radical to take your inner dream world seriously. That’s why we can walk around inside Tove Jansson’s Moominland to this day.
