Art that protects the climate
To promote the art of climate communication, the Galerie Group Global 3000 is opening on Friday, October 10, 2025, at 7:00 PM in Berlin Kreuzberg its new exhibition “The Art of Climate Communication,” featuring 24 works by 22 artists from seven countries.
They view climate communication as a fundamental key to activities against global warming. From an aesthetic perspective, the artists address the questions: How do we win people over to climate protection? How do we manage to reach them, touch them, and motivate them to act?
With its exhibition, Group Global 3000 presents art as a tangible force that can help convey the climate crisis in an understandable, emotional, and effective way. Petra Weifenbach’s imitations of traditional Delft tiles with sinking windmill motifs, distributed throughout the room, for example, differ subtly—and demonstrate in aesthetic order how we overlook the progression of the crisis. The Californian artist Keri Rosebraugh writes her message directly into the tormented landscape, like the biblical writing on the wall. The video documentation of her action regarding the Eaton Fire calls for collective care in the climate crisis. Furthermore, postcards, fictional dating portals, and even mundane everyday materials such as toilet paper become media for a change in consciousness.
Whether ironic, poetic, or critical—the exhibited objects, paintings, installations, graphics, videos, photos, and performances from Germany, Switzerland, Mongolia, Australia, USA, Mexico, and France challenge dominant narratives, design alternative information paths, or turn us into agents of change ourselves. In the process, the artists are asked to design transport and materials in a resource-conserving manner.
The exhibition is always open on Tuesdays and Fridays from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM, is accompanied by an interdisciplinary supporting program with guided tours for students and adult groups, and ends with a performance by Rosa Schmidt with Katharina Resch for the finissage on November 21, 2025.

Here you will find a brief description of the individual artworks:
Tom Albrecht: Fossil Party
A rotating mirror ball under a rocket projects a party atmosphere—triggered by the movement of the recipients. Behind it: the play between the two worlds. An object as an ironic staging of our ignorance toward the fossil fuel intoxication.
Joachim Czepa: Generation +1.5 Degrees Celsius
A self-portrait made of 70 climate stripes, based on real temperature data, connects biographical time with global warming—making the invisible personally tangible within the painting.
Ute Diez: ClimateSession
Toilet paper as a carrier of scientific facts about oceans and climate: A humorous attempt to raise awareness for sustainability in a low-threshold and everyday manner.
Stephan Groß: SHOWTIME CLIMATE and Message in a bottle
The typogram “Showtime Climate” addresses climate discourse as a media spectacle. A second work connects a recycled water bottle with UN Goal 13—and asks where communication ends and greenwashing begins.
Karin Heinrich: Making Water
A ring of ice melts slowly—the video “Making Water” visualizes climate-related change, the pace of which we often do not (want to) perceive.
Kaki Höhn: Still Glitter Under My Fingernails
Digitally processed film material from Lützerath documents resistance and generational knowledge—a cinematic narrative about the climate struggle as lived memory.
Helge & Saxana: Vanished Homes / ALL VILLAGES REMAIN
48 miniature paintings of threatened, demolished locations in 1.5 m² of original soil commemorate villages in the Rhenish mining district—and the coal resistance ten years after Paris 2015. The project is represented here by a sample exhibit.
Jens Isensee: Novocene – A Possible Future
In the installation “Novocene,” the real exhibition sinks into the sea through virtual overlay—an interactive scenario that dystopically intertwines AI, technology, and the climate crisis.
ANUnaran Jargalsaikhan: Connection to Mother Earth
The video “Connection to Mother Earth” reflects a Mongolian perspective on connectedness and climate protection.
Maria Korporal: Call to Climate Action
A telephone receiver invites dialogue—in the video, the artist responds visually. A work that not only shows communication but stages and enables it.
Stephan Kurr: i would if i could
A woodcut is created from the felling notches of cut ash trees: “I would / if I could / run!”—an artistic act of remembrance and resistance.
Vera Leisibach: If We Could Talk
Insects speak to us in irritating song. Lightness and urgency merge—a sensory experimental video as communication beyond facts.
John Maibohm: Chance Find: Climate Postcard + Meet me if You (still) can / Together, become a climate savior
Polar bear meets penguin at the equator: Two works present climate communication via postcard campaigns and storyboards—low-threshold, surprising, strategic.
Thomas Möller: give-away
An outdoor thermometer in the style of an airline ironically points to the tension between advertising, self-perception, and responsibility.
Keri Rosebraugh: Remember Here
The video about the Eaton Fire in California calls for collective care in the climate crisis. A poetic warning: “What we hold, holds us.”
María Huerta: Digital garden
“Digital Garden” weaves emotion, climate justice, and Latinx voices into a multi-layered, audiovisual climate essay—between trauma and resilience.
Rosa Schmidt: PINUS WALTZ/CONVERSATION OF TERPENES
In her performance “Pinus Waltz,” dance-like terpene forms of communication between humans and nature are activated—multisensory and reflexive.
Artist duo verstoffwechselt: Transformation
An infusion nourishes basil and lets a pen grow—an installation as a silent image of water loss, hope, and the effectiveness of individual impulses.
Julien Stiegler: E=C02 – the polar bear
A polar bear discovers a refrigerator in the eternal ice—the charming animated video poses a surreal question about energy production without destructive consequences.
Andrea Streit: Mr. Gaebler, do you use sunscreen?
In drawings and notes on the renovation of Gendarmenmarkt, climate-friendly urban planning and its real contradictions are examined.
Lioba von den Driesch: going to the beach II
The Victory Column becomes an activist with a “TAX THE SUPER RICH” balloon in the smog. An iconic march in moving images for social justice in the climate discourse.
Petra Weifenbach: HOLLAND IN DISTRESS 25
Imitations of traditional Delft tiles with sinking windmill motifs, distributed throughout the room, differ subtly—and demonstrate in aesthetic order how we overlook the progression of the crisis.
