#28 New Territories In Acre And Why They Matter: Notes On Hope And "The Game" Of Coexistence
- Marjetica Potrc The Croa River community consists of approximately four hundred families spread out across eighty thousand hectares of Amazonian forest. They aspire to see the land they inhabit become an extraction reserve, and in fact, it is in the process of becoming precisely this: one of the new territories in Acre. As such, it is a good example of the current trend toward territorialization in the Brazilian state. It is also a good example of what territories stand for: self-organization, sustainable growth, and local knowledge.

#23 Theme, again.
- Fredric Gunve
Part 2 of “All Talk, No Action” (see below).
To deal with, and act within the artistic field today is to make a choice:
-Either you are with us or against us!
And we all know that the second option does not exist. There is no “against us”, we are already “with” from the very beginning, and probably all the way to the end.
The English text will become available soon.

#19 Love, Pain And Self-Erection
- Marcus Steinweg The subject is distinguished from the non-subject by the minimum of freedom to be itself, i.e. it has the freedom to defend its self in view of real unfreedom. A human being cannot be reduced to its status as mere object. It knows, as Carl Schmitt says, "not only birth," the facticity of its having been cast, "but also the possibility of a rebirth," which, as Hölderlin says in The Course of Life, is "the freedom to set out whither he will".[1] There is therefore only one obligation for the human subject: to be free in view of its freedom.

#12 Labyrinth
- Peeter LauritsI am a thoroughly urban person, having grown up in Tallinn, and later living in Riga, St Petersburg and New York.
Nevertheless, on St John's Day in 1996 I found myself on the balcony in Kütiorg, reading Nietszche's 'Ecce Homo', realizing that cities as such has nothing more to offer me.

#7 Through The Home Tunnel
- Veronica Brovall I live in the house during the construction of the sculpture. I cut myself on bamboo sticks, bump into the large
spades that poke out of the tunnels. They dig, hollow out the house to make a new existence in it. I have nowhere
to sit - the chairs have either knives or bamboo fastened to them - the refrigerator is covered with staples.
