What do I know about sustainable practices? What does a practice need to be sustainable? What kind of practices am I talking about? Am I just borrowing the notion of sustainability from the environmental context to use it in an artistic context? Artistic and environmental practices may have productive conditions in common but, what do I know?
When I started to work on this book I knew that I did not want to do it alone. That is why I invited a few friends to think with me. Would you please think with me through these two texts, I asked. The invitation came in the form of an email with two texts attached. The first text tried to define a loose frame for the notion of sustainable practices. The second text performed through and away from that frame. The email included a draft of the book design and some seemingly unrelated images. After the first readings and conversations, the writing started.
