Abstract:
Andrea Palasti works across art, research, and teaching. Her research-based projects often begin with archival traces and take the form of exercises, guided situations, and case studies. These case studies focus on specific beings: an orangutan, a freshwater mussel, penguins, a meteorite, or a plant, exploring the situations and questions that emerge around their histories and material conditions.
Bringing together several of these projects, the lecture explores how knowledge can emerge from unexpected sources and how other-than-human beings can act as unlikely teachers. Engaging with displaced forms of knowledge, peripheral ecologies, and overlooked histories, Palasti approaches artistic research as a practice of learning with, rather than simply about the living world.
The lecture concludes with The Killer Chrysanthemum, Palasti’s ongoing research project on the Dalmatian pyrethrum, once considered the deadliest flower in the insect world due to its use in natural insecticides. Moving between history, science, and artistic research, the project reflects on practices of killing, care, and coexistence within shared multispecies environments. This research is being developed in close collaboration with Daniel Popovic.
