Plot(ting) serves as a growing open archive and a platform for publication. Anchored in the Art & Spatial Praxis research group at Gerrit Rietveld Academie, Plot(ting) platforms the research and art practices of makers and thinkers whose work engages and resonates with Jamaican critic, novelist, and playwright Sylvia Wynter’s concept of “the plot.” Plot(ting) investigates the plot as a model for artistic practice in the broadest sense, examining how artists, writers, and scholars can challenge institutional and capitalist norms to foster different forms of understanding, being, and social relation. In the contributions to Plot(ting), different aspects of the plot are staged, embodied, narrated, explored, and materialised. The publication shows possibilities of what “plot” and “plotting” might be in contemporary research and artistic practice. It includes dance performance, soundscapes, video art, lecture performance, photography, song, and text.
