Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Professor Susan Schuppli is a researcher and artist. Director of the Centre for Research Architecture at Goldsmiths University of London she is also an affiliate artist-researcher and Board Chair of Forensic Architecture. Through her work, she examines material evidence from war and conflict to environmental disasters and climate change. She is the author of Material Witness (MIT Press, 2020) and the recipient of the 2016 ICP Infinity Award. Her earlier work as an artist- researcher and writer explored material evidence, specifically the ways in which non-human witnesses enter into trials and tribunals to testify to historical events, in particular those involving political violence, ethnic conflict, and war crimes. Current research and artistic production expand these investigations to examine how environmental systems and the transformations brought about by global warming are generating new forms of evidence; creating, in effect, a planetary archive of material witnesses. Her current work is focused on learning from ice and the politics of cold.
