MIRAJ Issue 10.1/2 – Special Ecologies double issue
Through scholarly articles, features, roundtable discussions, interviews and reviews, Issue 10:1/2 aims to imagine and examine how practices in artists’ film and video can be transformed by a dedicated attention to notions of the Ecological in its many expanded forms.
Landscape and the Moving Image by Catherine Elwes, Intellect, Bristol: 2022
Elwes takes a journey through the twin histories of landscape art and experimental moving image and discovers how they coalesce in the work of artists from the 1970s to the present day.
