{"product_id":"the-mill-isbn-9783956794933","title":"The Mill","description":"\u003ci\u003eThe Mill\u003c\/i\u003e is the second of three projects to engage the resource industries of Vancouver Island (mining, forestry, and fisheries) through contemporary art and writing. This volume responds to forestry: a mobile industry of logging camps that follow the trees; prices that rise and fall; mills that open and close; communities that boom and bust. In \u003ci\u003eThe Mill\u003c\/i\u003e, artworks are accompanied by a multiplicity of voices, including forestry workers, plant ecologists, and indigenous land stewards. Together, these perspectives chart the cultural and material shifts brought about when trees become commodities.\u003cp\u003eExpanded from two contemporary art exhibitions, \u003ci\u003eSilva Part I: O Horizon\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSilva Part II: Booming Grounds\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Mill\u003c\/i\u003e examines forgotten or under-acknowledged histories, while considering both local sites and forms of cultural expression that surround international forestry practices.\u003c\/p\u003eJesse Birch is the curator at Nanaimo Art Gallery. He has produced numerous exhibitions both locally and internationally, published widely, and taught in the Critical + Cultural Studies program at Emily Carr University of Art and Design. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWill Holder is a typographer whose work is informed by an ongoing study of song and musicmaking as a coauthored process and the editor and publisher of \u003ci\u003eF.
