17 international artists from Lithuania, Greece, Germany and the USA show their critical stance on fake news in 20 works with graphics, installations, photos, objects, videos, paintings and performances.
Fake news is spread worldwide by politicians, the press and on social media and is usually defined as invented content that is intended to manipulate and influence opinion. Fake news often has a deliberately emotional character and is often difficult to distinguish from real news. Detailed in the wiki: Fake News
Newspapers of the Springer press in Germany headline: “Germany facing the solar debacle”. This is fake news. The energy transition is going much better than the right-wing alarmists from BILD, WELT and others would have us believe. Wind turbines and solar power complement each other well. We have enough power plants to generate enough electricity even during “dark doldrums”. Generating, distributing and using renewable energy from the sun and wind instead of fossil fuels is the energy transition.
More fake news: “BATTERIES OF SHAME”, “Germany lost in the solar dead end”, “Germany in the dark doldrums. “We are the ghost drivers of Europe”, “Winmills of shame”, “Trembling before the blackout”.
Here we focus on the fake news against the transformation to sustainability, e.g. the energy transition. How do you debunk fake news? How do you set positive signals instead?
We invited artists from all over the world to submit their proposals. We are showing works that take up the theme and conserve resources in terms of transportation and materials.
We are looking for a member, e.g. a former art teacher, to organize guided tours of our exhibitions for young people such as pupils, trainees and students.

Introduction to the exhibition “Augenwischer”. (C) Vera Leisibach
Group Global 3000 is showing 18 works by 15 artists. Paintings, objects, performances, installations, videos, workshops and specialist lectures with discussions make the actors involved in sustainability visible and promote transformation.
The climate crisis and the extinction of species are progressing. Humanity is aware of the risks to its future, but is too slow to transform its behavior, politics and economy towards sustainability.
TRANSFORMERS are people who accelerate the transformation towards a regenerative society that preserves species. They can be activists against the climate crisis, against species extinction, to save resources, politicians, craftspeople, citizens, pupils, students, farmers, artists. Who is that? Is it you? What do they do, what are their tools?
Welcome: Tom Albrecht, Curator

Insight behind the scenes of the art world
The registered association Group Global 3000 finances the artistic exhibition work in the non-commercial project space, which we call the gallery.
We were founded as a group of artists in 2012 and since then have usually held three to four exhibitions on art and sustainability every year at Leuschnerdamm 19 in Berlin Kreuzberg.
We are the only art venue with this program. The issue of sustainability is more important than ever. In our art lies the hope of winning people over to climate protection and the diversity of species. We give the topics images, with painting, video and sound work, installation, drawing, performance and deepen them through specialist lectures, e.g. by Scientists for Future and workshops.
We carry out our curatorial work on a voluntary basis as a team of five artists. In 2016, we received the Berlin Senate Prize for Project Spaces as a non-commercial gallery for our exhibition work. The prize money will be used up in 2024. The funding association is small. Our costs are around €6,000 a year for fees, co-curation, advertising, rent and exhibition supplies for three exhibitions a year.
We look forward to you or your donation!
