Laura Denzer is an artist and educator based in Gainesville, Florida and is the guest editor for issue 96, Dependency. Call for Pitches: Humans live within and through structures of dependency. From atoms to biospheres, animals to industries, dependent relationships experience both continuity and change. Dependency on parents or other primary caretakers eventually ends (or it doesn’t), so new people must be found; friends, enemies, or new pursuits fill the void, or institutions now offer a different kind of safety. We may assume a position as guardian of another being, facility, or tradition, on which we may, in turn, come to depend on. Addiction to substances or habits may consume our lives or simply make days tolerable. A medical dependency may keep us above ground a while longer. Choices you make, as well as others’ choices, will direct relations of power and control, determining what we hang on to, and what hangs onto us. Dependency is a mode of relation, both good, bad, and neither. A state of dependency may be beneficial or damaging, imperative, unnecessary, or parasitic, for the individual, or collective. Symbiosis happens. Assessing the state of things may not be clear-cut. Dependent relations may be multivalent and fluctuate, evolve, or reproduce over time. Specific states of dependency may be probed intuitively and analytically, helping to reveal who and where we are, how things work, and maybe something about the nature of dependency itself.
