A flood is what flows says the etymology, where the flowing is in excess. But it is by flooding that a river constructs its form; form is the remnant of excess, the despair of content, the failure of escape. Riffles, pools, floodplains, meanderings constitute its geometry.
– «A River» by Lisa Robertson

Between Rivers brings together the practices of contemporary artists who respond to the place of rivers in our lives at a moment when they are being profoundly reshaped by human activity.

While rivers have been an important subject for artists since at least the nineteenth century and are at the center of significant developments in fields as varied as ecology and environmentalism, political organization and activism, and the built environment and architecture, in recent years they have been discussed with an increasing urgency.
