Expanded Exhibitionary Practices
Instead of a static exhibition, “Art as Ecological Practice” will develop over the course of the year and “grow” with each seasonal gathering. The exhibition will integrate new works that unfold over different periods of time, existing works, and documentation of collaborations on site. By involving artists, scientists and local practitioners, the project promotes participatory encounters and translocal connections. The exhibition space thus potentially becomes a contact zone in which an exchange about local conditions and transcultural knowledge is made possible and in which the asymmetrical glocal relationships in which we are all entangled can be critically and self-critically examined.
