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?

TRANSFORMERS. Sustainability Players ” as a counterpart to the previous presentation. It records the current situation, takes up previous social transformation and looks at the search process for new system structures.

With Thomas Behlings installation “Eine Aktion von Mercedes-Benz und der BILD-Zeitung”, an edited sticker with the words “Ich verzichte gerne auf die Zukunft unserer Kinder” (I gladly renounce the future of our children) from 2024, Behling criticizes the irresponsible actions towards our planet and at the same time alludes to the drastic protests of the climate stickers.
