Slow Spatial Reader: Chronicles of Radical Affection

How to dissent from enforced temporalities: essays from artists, theorists and more This collection of slow approaches to spatial practice and pedagogy draws on the expertise of contributors from 24 countries on five continents. Each one brings distinct philosophical and disciplinary approaches—from spatially creative fields like architecture, sculpture, installation, dramaturgy and performance, but also research and activism—exploring how we think about and engage with space at a range of scales, tempos, and durations. The essays chronicle projects and processes that amplify tangible and intangible qualities of spatial experience: reaching into the cracks of the body, probing the borders of atmospheres, and extending out across both geographical and epistemological coordinates. The term "radical affection" was coined to unite those diverse approaches in a call for tender acts of individual and collective imagination through which new forms of caring and resilience might emerge.
