19 May 2023 - Ruigoord, Amsterdam
Fred Carter’s introductory talk at Maritime Frictions follows hydrological and logistical flows across transitional waters of the IJ estuary and the oil terminals of the Port of Amsterdam. Tracing the emergent turn to fieldwork across practice-based and environmental research, Carter asks: how might we develop practices and tactics in accordance with the IJ’s estuarine field?
Fred Carter has been a Landhaus Fellow at the Rachel Carson Centre and an associate researcher at Linnaeus University. In 2022, Carter was Saltire Emerging Researcher at the University of Amsterdam, where he is co-director of the residency programme FieldARTS. His debut poetry chapbook, Outages, will be published by Veer2 in 2023.
Drawing together artistic and critical practices, Sonic Acts and FieldARTS’ collaborative event Maritime Frictions also included field presentations from Harpo ’t Hart and Frank Bloem (Embassy of the North Sea), a listening walk with Lance Laoyan, a lecture by Charmaine Chua, a performance lecture by Liquid Time (Jacob Bolton and Miriam Matthiessen), a screening of Michaela Büsse’s ‘Building with Nature’ (2022), a sound performance from Velma Spell, ending with a DJ set by Nessim for the after party.
