Montesinos, Lorenzo Sandoval (Eds.)With Co ntributions from: Pavla Ascher, Santiago Eraso, Juan Freire, Emanuele Guidi, John Holten, Nicolas Malevé, Markus Miessen, Laurence R assel, Alan Pauls, Maria PTQK, Urzsula WozniakAfter a game-changing year when Europe, in all its tangible and intangible consequence s reached far and wide, BDP are proud to announce one of our most ambitious compilations of art, writing and investigation on our co ntemporarys troubled, shape-shifting realities. In a unique dual book publication (English/Spanish editions) edited by the group C orrespondence from Eyjafjallajökull the book contains the artistic results and research of the group, along with eleven probing and insightful carefully selected collaborations. These diverse entries take many forms, including fiction, essay, polemnic, After wo rking together as a research group centering around the event that was Eyjafjallajökull in May 2010, Correspondence from Eyjafjalla jökull went about re-examining the idea of Europe. With no air traffic possible, Europe found itself connected in a very physical w ay, a unity that is the opposite in many ways of how Europe has been so recently conceived. Through various forms of artistic rese arch and development new, kaleidoscopic perspectives of Europe came about, moving from peripheries such as Turkey and Iceland itself , moving inward to the imaginative world of European identity creation.With a strong focus on the problematic nature of European dis course as it currently is offered, the recent rise of protests movements in Spain appear in contributions from Maria Ptqk, Emanuele Guidi, Juan Freire and Santiago Eraso: the 15th May Movement in Spain and The Arab Spring pre-dated but also foretold the wider Occu py movement of 2012, an incredible year in which protest and the right to protest swept the world in myriad forms. The playful use o f fiction to create stories and identity is evident in contributions from Pavla Ascher, John Holten and Alan Pauls. Re-imagining the line of Europes borders opens the anthology with Urzsula Wozniaks essay on Turkeys relationship with Europe, while Markus Miesso n offers an extension of the realm of what can be thought of as Europe with an extract from his East Coast Europe project.
