We are visual artists from Berlin and, as Group Global 3000 (GG3), we run the project space and gallery of the same name on a voluntary basis. GG3 has been planning, jurying and curating international exhibitions on sustainability issues with a focus on the ecological since 2013.<\/h2>\n

Mission statement<\/h2>\n

\u201cOur exhibition themes with a focus on visual arts always deal with sustainability (NH). We integrate the NH into the practical operation of the project space. We encourage our artists to consider the NH in their work. We formulate help<\/a> for this.”<\/p>\n

We support the ” Sustainable Development Goals<\/a> “. Sustainability<\/a><\/span> 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. With art we want to give impulses to the public and make our contribution. We offer a cultural space for thinking about the large and small political processes of sustainability and non-sustainability. We don’t raise the moral index finger, we seek encounters, touch and discourse.<\/p>\n

The needs and measures are specified in the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN (SDG)”<\/p>\n

“If we really want to claim sustainability as a socially relevant, world-changing topic, we will,.., not be able to avoid doing it with the means of art.” ( Adrienne Goehler<\/a><\/span> : Arte.TV “Culture – cost it , whatever it may!\u201d, September 16, 2015)<\/p>\n

Practice<\/h2>\n

In our artistic discourse, we focus on ecological issues combined with social and\/or economic ones. Our works are part of a new art language in which sustainability is inherent. In this way, GG3 promotes sustainability as a socially relevant and world-changing process. Art is challenged in its mediating role when it comes to making the invisible visible.<\/p>\n

We run the non-profit gallery “Group Global 3000” in Berlin-Kreuzberg. It is located where the former German Wall ran. Traces can still be seen on the road and on the property.<\/p>\n

\"Logo<\/a>

Logo 2013 of Group Global 3000 – We work for a second world.<\/p><\/div><\/dt>\n

<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n

In cooperation with international artists, we show exhibitions and actions and work with the following media: object art, installation, drawing, photography, video, land art, painting, etc. Admission to our events is free. As a rule, we publicly advertise the exhibition themes and judge the submitted works. When selecting the applicants and their works, we pay strict attention to the connection to the advertised topic. We communicate in English and German.<\/p>\n

Our logo expresses the wasteful handling of the world. We live and do business as if we had a second world at our disposal.<\/p>\n

Our name Group Global 3000 shows that people act locally, think globally and for the future together. We work for the \u201cbest of both worlds\u201d.<\/p>\n

We value discourse, thematic depth and encounters. Our exhibitions include four events: vernissage, artist talk, specialist lecture and finissage. We recruit speakers from science, NGOs, journalism and business.<\/p>\n

We seek a cooperative relationship with our artists and work with artists on an equal footing. Everyone is responsible for his\/her area, the artists for their work, we for the gallery with its exhibition. We show curated group exhibitions and solo exhibitions by our team.<\/p>\n

Our ecological practice<\/a> is part of our work.<\/p>\n

Themes of the exhibitions<\/h2>\n

We draw the themes of the exhibitions from current social, philosophical and ecological discussions. We work artistically with, for example:<\/p>\n
