Project :: Farm is an ongoing investigation into the procedural and cultural economies of farming in the high plains of West Texas. Ranging from tactical maneuvers to playful experiments, these projects are more weed than crop, more dust-storm than soil, more uncertainty than efficiency. Embedded in the everyday practices of farming, these projects exploit the temporalities of cultivation, the contingencies of weather, and the astonishing beauty of productive landscapes.
Creative Team: Szu-Han Ho, John Houser, Tina Larkin, Louis Schalk, Emily Vogler, Jesse Vogler
thenorthroom is a research and production platform that explores the material practices of institutions and landscapes through collaborative, project-based work.
