Father, Can’t You See I’m Burning?’ was a project curated by the participants of de Appel Curatorial Programme 2013/14: Renata Cervetto, Kris Dittel, Lara Khaldi, Emma Panza, Aneta Rostkowska and Kate Strain. It unfolded in multiple parts: a prelude, a show, a series of events, footnotes and this publication. These events brought together a score of newly commissioned art works and texts, to be presented across time and space. The impetus for the creation of these new works has been conjured from the ashes of historical non-events and their potentiality.

The publication encompasses contributions by: Sophia Al-Maria, Mirene Arsanios, Marinus Boezem, Renata Cervetto, Sebastian Cichocki, Dina Danish, Kris Dittel, Chris Fitzpatrick, Justin Gosker, Jan Hoeft, Krõõt Juurak, Lara Khaldi, Yazan Khalili, Sarah van Lamsweerde, Vesna Madzoski, Mardi, Ieva Misevičiūtė, Robertas Narkus, Emma Panza, Pavel Pepperstein, Michael Portnoy, Aneta Rostkowska, Jan Rothuizen, Aaron Schuster, Janek Simon and Laurent-David Garnier, Kate Strain, EloiseSweetman, Reinaart Vanhoe, Jan Verwoert, Young-Hae Chang Heavy Industries, Katarina Zdjelar and Arnisa Zeqo.
