Synopsis "Fieldwork for Future Ecologies: Radical Practice for Art and Art-Based Research"

Cross-disciplinary speculations on expanding the creative possibilities of fieldwork

Gathering contributions from artists, writers and theorists, Fieldwork for Future Ecologies addresses the role that art and art-based research plays in expanding notions of fieldwork. At once a research handbook and a philosophical speculation, it explores ways of working within diverse climates using image, sound, movement and other sensing technologies, and also offers more creative interventions into the idea of "the field" itself. Focusing on projects from various geographic locations and situations, the book highlights the crucial contribution that art can make to environmental and climate studies.

Contributors include: A.S.T. (Diann Bauer, Felice Grodin, Patricia M. Hernandez, Elite Kedan), Saskia Beudel, Imani Jacqueline Brown, David Burns, Angus Carlyle, Julie Gough, Henriette Gunkel, Eline McGeorge, Bianca Hester, Melody Jue, Therese Keogh, Kreider + O’Leary, Ruth Maclennan, Nicholas Mangan, Simon O’Sullivan, Kate Pickering, Philip Samartzis, Susan Schuppli and Kristen Sharp.

Bridget Crone (1973–2023) was a curator, writer, and professor in Visual Cultures at Goldsmiths, University of London. She specialized in the intersections between theory, artistic practice, and material ecologies, exploring how bodies, images, and environments interact in contemporary art. She co-authored and edited the key work Fieldwork for Future Ecologies: Radical Practice for Art and Art-Based Research (Onomatopee, 2022, reprinted 2025), an interdisciplinary volume that brings together art, theory, and experimental methodologies to rethink the fieldwork in climate and environmental contexts.

This book, in the genre of art criticism and ecological theory, includes contributions from artists, writers, and theorists, and serves both as a manual and philosophical reflection on radical practices oriented towards climate and environment. No literary awards are known to be associated with it, but it has had a considerable impact in international academic and artistic circles. According to sources, this appears to be her main work either solo or as a co-editor, consolidating her intellectual and academic legacy.
