Ecologically Responsible Exhibition-Making
Eine Diskussionsrunde im Rahmen der Klima Aktion Oktober mit Kuratorin Ewa Chomicka, Nachhaltigkeitsberater Christopher J. Garthe und Kulturtheoretikerin Elke Krasny, moderiert von den Kuratorinnen Mirela Baciak und Fanny Hauser.
Angesichts der anhaltenden Klimakrise hat sich der Kunstindustrie zunehmend Begriffen wie Care und Solidarität sowie ökologischer und artenübergreifender Fürsorge zugewandt. Die Abhängigkeit der Industrie von Billigflügen, fossiler Energie und materieller Akkumulation hat dazu veranlasst, das Transformationspotenzial von Institutionen hin zu einem nachhaltigeren und umweltfreundlicheren Modell zu untersuchen. Wie können wir im Ausstellungsbereich unsere Bedingungen und Produktionsmittel ändern, obwohl wir im Rahmen des neoliberalen globalen Kapitalismus agieren?
