Utopias for eye, ear, nose, mind

We invite you in our rooms to a journey of Good Sustainable Living with addressing the eyes, hands, body, ears and nose. The exhibition follows the exhibition“Transformation” and the many criticisms we have repeatedly made of the unsustainable life of society. It shows a vision, a positive utopia with object, image, audio, installation and video.

Exhibit May 5 – June 16, 2023, Fridays and Tuesdays 5-8 p.m., events starting at 7 p.m.

Şehnaz Layıkel Prange:

What does “The Good Life” mean in our world today? The title itself contains in itself that we are looking for something different. This is followed by the questions: Is “The Good Life” an imaginary utopia or is it a realistic possibility? Is the consideration of this term alone sufficient? How do notions of a “Good Life” relate to their attempts at implementation? Is “The Good Life” Really One “Good Life”
or should we speak of a good life in the plural? Perhaps these are the questions that resonate with our great need, on multiple levels, in this time of turbulence and existential angst.

“The Good Life” is a group exhibition based on six artistic positions:
Tom Albrecht, Thomas Behling, Lioba von den Driesch, Mariel Gottwick, Stephan Groß, Maria Korporal.

In this exhibition, each artist interprets the concept of “good life” from a different perspective. Referring to different contents of a “Good Life”, ranging from feelings to ecology, the artists* simultaneously propose and question individual and collective solutions. In other words, they challenge existing trends and existing methods of healing, while at the same time proposing new ways of perceiving and dealing with problems in today’s world.

Through its multimedia nature, the exhibition appeals to all the senses. One encounters playful interventions as well as solution-oriented proposals in various forms, such as object, image, audio, installation and video.

In the context of the exhibition, various events will take place in which experts and the artists will discuss the topic from different perspectives together with the guests and work on it in a workshop.

Fr. 5/26 Reading: “Climate Futures 2050” by Robin Bergauf and Burkhard Wetekam.

The authors question the utopian aspects of climate futures. What vision can a computer develop, what promise lies in building artificial self-sufficient countries in the ocean?

At the end of April, the anthology “Klimazukünfte 2050” (Climate futures 2050), which emerged from the literary competition of the same name, was presented at the Leipzig Book Fair. We are pleased to present the book in cooperation with Hirnkost-Verlag as part of our exhibition.

Climate crisis: what are the options for individual and collective resilience? How can a good life be designed for you and the planet in the future? The consequences of the climate crisis are becoming more and more visible. In addition to the consequences for the environment and biodiversity, the climate crisis will have health consequences for all of us. The mental and physical health of many people will be affected. Michael Rapp presents scientific findings on these questions in a generally understandable way and thus wants to initiate an open discussion on the topic.

Tom Albrecht will be present starting at 5 p.m.

Tom Albrecht: The Good Life

I describe the subject in keywords as a factual picture. Much is consensus among experts and policymakers. Our vision is global.

Social

Democracy has citizens’ councils, citizens’ initiatives. People vote for democratic parties.

People pay cash and digitally.

The Western lifestyle respects planetary boundaries.

The work serves more self-made, repaired, forces less to earn money

People have time for work and care work in the non-formal system such as family, relationship.

People cultivate time and relationship wealth.

Self-help is promoted through education, craft is upgraded compared to study

Medicine focuses on quality of life style.

The artists receive a guarantee for their social participation.

The Internet is data-saving and powered by green electricity.

ecology

The forest is rebuilt, rich in species, suitable for the climate. Forestry serves the CO₂ sink. The extracted wood stores CO₂ in buildings.

Agriculture is grandchild-friendly, builds soil life and nutrient humus, CO₂ is stored in the soil.

The bogs are wetted again.

One eats organic, whole foods, high fiber, vegetarian or vegan. Meat eaters eat only Sunday roast. Leftover food is “saved”.

The built-up landscape is unsealed.

The arable land is withdrawn from speculation as a livelihood.

Species extinction has stopped. The species are preserved.

The garden is rich in species, has meadow instead of lawn, serves the self-sufficiency.

The country is upgraded compared to the city.

The streams are renaturalized

Rainwater is infiltrated instead of drained, stored and reused.

Wastewater is separated from rainwater, its heat is recovered.

The toilet, where possible, is a composting toilet. Recyclable materials in sewage sludge are recycled.

The gray water and its heat from the shower and kitchen are recycled and reused.

Economy

The world economy is economically selective de globalized. (Hartmut Rosa)

Degrowth or post-growth has been expanded in Germany to include the perspective of climate-friendly global growth.

The Supply Chain Act shows transparency from source to consumer.

The goods are durable, repairable, modernizable, shared with community.

The waste is avoided, recyclables are kept in the circle, packaging is avoided.

Fewer fashion and status items are consumed. Clothing is more durable, recyclable or reusable.

The energy turnaround is complete. The sources are renewable instead of fossil and nuclear, more decentralized. Consumption is more economical. The race against time “to become climate neutral”, is won.

The traffic happens on foot, by bike, by public transport. Motor vehicles are shared.

Traveling pays attention to resource consumption. Flying is done with green fuel. Cruising has ended or is regenerative, avoiding waste in the process.

Urban mining supplies raw materials instead of importing them.

CO₂ is saved in construction, and wood as a building material is a CO₂ reservoir. The building stock is being modernized in a climate-friendly way instead of being demolished.

The buildings are zero or low energy houses, have solar panels on roofs, facades. Solar panels are located along highways, in fields above fields.

Housing is happening on less land.

The city is climate-friendly, green, roofs and facades are greened.

Urban trees are diversified, site and climate appropriate, have canopy closure

The lighting is done with LED, where you are or it is socially necessary.

The light pollution of the sky has ended, all stars are visible again.

60th exhibition

Sustainability as a theme for works and exhibitions

Sustainability


Sustainability
is defined in such a way that future generations should have the same opportunities for a fulfilling life as we do. At the same time, the opportunities for all people on earth must be distributed more fairly. Sustainable development combines economic progress with social justice and protection of the natural environment. The needs and measures are concretized in the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)

Intentions

Transporting scientific results such as warnings about the climate crisis, species extinction through our art. Science has explosive results.

Science is interested in it. The transformation must go faster.

Art has a different mode of action. It works emotionally, can cause other interpretations of the content, can be utopian, create visions, be playful, interactive, use humor, irony.

Exhibition titles and works

The target group are artists who apply and potential guests who are addressed for the exhibition.

Titles should be crisp

Can create associations, refer to fairy tales e.g. “Tischlein Deck Dich” M.K., Bible “Sintflut heute” GG3 exhibition after flooding in Ahr valley

Can stimulate liberation “Live your spell” M.K. interactive

Make curious

Are linguistically elegant, get to the point

Are short, touching or even a long quote

You play with language

The work gets to the heart of the issue.

The title must represent the work, not evoke the content.

Are short, are o.k. in context, if necessary subtitles

Sustainability as a topic

Criticism of the existing

Workshop for result: Workshop for artists and exhibition organizers

Result: Workshop for artists and exhibition makers “Sustainability as a theme for works and exhibitions

Suggestions for alternatives

Originate from the current sustainability – discussion, topics in the media, in science, disasters

The title may arise from the work or the work may arise from the title

Why sustainability art?

To overcome the crisis, to initiate something, to learn,

because it is joyful, urgent, common

Result of the public workshop of GG3 on 23.5.2023, moderation and transcript Tom Albrecht.
