"We invoke one dualism only in order to challenge another. We employ a dualism of models only in order to arrive at a process that challenges all models. Each time mental correctives are necessary to undo the dualism we had no wish to construct but through which we pass. Arriving at the magic formula we all seek – pluralism = monism – via all the dualisms that are the enemy. The furniture we are forever rearranging."
–Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari, A Thousand Plateaus: Capitalism and Schizophrenia

Update /
Rearranging the Year of ARBOREALITY

Dear Friends,

We continue rearranging our summer in hopes of keeping in tune with the regional protocols during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Please stay in one place, be well, and think of others. When and if our current guidelines are lifted, a range of change will reawaken our senses with a set of new experiences in this bewildering landscape.

We regretfully must postpone most sessions this year into 2021. Under the best circumstances, new hopes are that Mildred's Lane will reopen to limited capacity for July/ August/ September/ October to individuals, couples, families, and small groups becoming Resident-Artists-in- Complex(ity):

• Accepting applications for the August Session, Marx for Cats Applied.

• Accepting letters of interest for short and more extended stays.

   • Open for day visits, tours, and talks, with social distancing.

   • Open Air community events and exhibitions at The Mildred Complex(ity) in nearby Narrowsburg, NY, to be announced.

• Sending Institutions, Fellows, and new applicants, please contact Mildred's Lane directly to reschedule accordingly.

• AirBnB access will reopen once the current protective guidelines are lifted, as it stands we are currently closed.

In efforts to SUPPORT Mildred's Lane and the artists who contribute to our cause we are soon launching A GUIDE TO THE FIELD site, encouraging you to COLLECT art-works-and-wares. Please share the postings with your friends and colleagues. For further information follow Instagram/ aguidetothefield

For now, we continue to follow all precautions provided by factual sources.

MARX FOR CATS APPLIED
August 3 through August 9
Caroline Woolard, Leigh Claire La Berge, Christine Wang, Marisa Williamson
Using the figure of the radical cat, we will explore the representation of capitalism, from the Middle Ages to the present. We will ask how performance, irony, and pleasure may become vehicles for the critique of settler-colonialism, racial capitalism, and financialization.
