It's obvious that the issue of the environment and ecology in art is increasingly becoming a consciously political decision that affects what art we create, how we teach it, how we talk about it, or how we present it. Artwork is intertwined with cultural activity, which is linked to activism and vice versa. The context, material used and financial resources are increasingly accentuated.

Oil Rocks was a magnet for artists who in the 1950s made the strenuous journey to witness the heroism of oil workers in their battle with the elements to extract Caspian “black gold”. This presentation considers the representations of Oil Rocks in socialist art as an exception to the general invisibility of the petroleum industry in modern literature and art. How can we account for the prominence of oil drilling imagery in Soviet Azerbaijani art and what does it tell us about the petroleum imaginary of the Socialist Anthropocene?

The section of the motorway D11, which will run across the Trutnov and Žacléř regions will add a part of the East Bohemain frontier district, a forgotten bracket between the Krkonoše National Park and the Protected Landscape Area of the Broumov region, as another bead to an illusory rosary connecting Paris with Moscow. It is no more controversial than the other eight motoways under construction in the Czech Republic. May the presented requiem for our landscape be read ad exemplum.
