David Hockney reflects upon life and art as he experiences lockdown in rural Normandy in this inspiring book which includes conversations with the artist and his latest artworks. "I intend to carry on with my work, which I now see as very important. We have lost touch with nature rather foolishly as we are a part of it, not outside it." - David Hockney. On turning eighty, David Hockney sought out rustic tranquility for the first time: a place to watch the sunset and the change of the seasons; a place to live a life of simple pleasures, undisturbed and undistracted; a place to keep the madness of the world at bay. So when Covid-19 and lockdown struck, it made little difference to life at La Grande Cour, the centuries-old Normandy farmhouse where Hockney set up a studio a year before, in time to paint the arrival of spring. In fact, he relished the enforced isolation as an opportunity for even greater devotion to his art. Spring Cannot be Cancelled is an uplifting manifesto that affirms art's capacity to divert and inspire. It is based on a wealth of new conversations and correspondence between Hockney and the art critic Martin Gayford, his long-time friend and collaborator. Their exchanges are illustrated by a selection of Hockney's new Normandy drawings and paintings alongside works by van Gogh, Monet, Bruegel, and others. We see how Hockney is propelled ever forward by his infectious enthusiasms and sense of wonder. A lifelong contrarian, he has been in the public eye for sixty years, yet remains entirely unconcerned by the view of critics or even history. He is utterly absorbed by his four acres of northern France and by the themes that have fascinated him for decades: light, color, space, perception, water, trees. He has much to teach us, not only about how to see ... but about how to live.

We have entered a new era of nature. What remains of the borders of modern thought that separated the living from the inert, subjectivity from objectivity, the apparent from the real, the value from facts, and the human from the non-human? Can the great oppositions that presided over the modern invention of nature preserve their coherence? In Nature as Event, Didier Debaise argues that new narratives and cosmologies are needed to rearticulate what has so far remained separate. Following William James and Alfred North Whitehead, Debaise presents us with a pluralistic way of approaching nature. What would happen if we attribute subjectivity and potentiality to all beings, both human and non-human? Why could we not think of the aesthetic and affective dimension as the fabric that links everything that exists? And what if the senses of importance and value were no longer understood as exclusively limited to the human? Translation by Laureano Ralón and Román Suárez Hemos ingresado a una nueva era de la naturaleza. ¿Qué queda de las fronteras del pensamiento moderno que separaban lo viviente de lo inerte, la subjetividad de la objetividad, lo aparente de lo real, el valor de los hechos, y lo humano de lo no humano? ¿Acaso pueden las grandes oposiciones que presidían la invención moderna de la naturaleza conservar su coherencia? En La naturaleza como acontecimiento, Didier Debaise argumenta que hacen falta nuevas narrativas y cosmologías para rearticular lo que hasta ahora permanecía separado. Siguiendo a William James y a Alfred North Whitehead, Debaise nos presenta una manera pluralista de abordar la naturaleza. ¿Qué sucedería si le atribuimos subjetividad y potencialidad a todos los seres, tanto humanos como no humanos? ¿Por qué no podríamos pensar la dimensión estética y afectiva como el tejido que enlaza todo lo que existe? ¿Y qué tal si los sentidos de importancia y de valor no fuesen entendidos ya como exclusivamente limitados a lo humano? Traducción a cargo de Laureano Ralón y Román Suárez
