Amanda Boetzkes specializes in contemporary art history and theory, with a focus on the intersection of artistic practices and life sciences within global systems of energy use. She is the author of 'Plastic Capitalism: Contemporary Art and the Drive to Waste' (MIT Press, 2019) and 'Ethics of the Earth: Art and Environment' (University of Minnesota Press, 2010), and co-editor of 'Heidegger and the Work of Art History' (Ashgate, 2014). Her current project, 'Ecologicity, Vision and the Art World', explores modes of visualizing environments, with a special emphasis on Arctic landscapes. Her research and publications include areas such as currency, economic exchange, the concept of value, theories of consciousness and perception—specifically ecological perception and neuroplasticity, as well as art and visual culture that problematizes the ontological and political status of animal species, phenomenology in art historiography, and the aesthetics of landscape art from the 18th century to the present.
