Recycling and downcycling is an (inadequate) answer of the throwaway society to the garbage problem. The theme motivates artists through the abundance of material, the free, the provocation. The exhibition of the 13 international and national artists shows with objects, installations, photos, collages, sound and performance created works for more sustainability.

Artists: Anja Neimöck, Burchard Vossmann, Enrique Cantillo, Hildegard Mahn, hubi w jäger, Karl Böttcher, markus krug, Monika Mori, Ola Koziol, Pedro Bustamante, Stephanie Hanna, Jürgen Krauss, Tom Albrecht
