Art as Ecological Practice

Situated Practices & Translocal Encounters between Art, Science and Everyday Life

A process-based exhibitionary project exploring ecological practice through workshops, performances, screenings, installations, cooking and structured around artistic research, collaborative activities, and four seasonal assemblies:

 

Participating Artists & Researchers
 Artists and researchers include Camilla Berner, Ewen Chardronnet, Field Narratives (Sascia Bailer, Andreas Doepke, hn. lyonga, Lene Markusen), Taro Furukata, Fernando Garcia-Dory (INLAND), Frauke Gerstenberg & Leon Bischinger (Muthesius Kunsthochschule Kiel), Seraina Grupp, Maj Hasager (Malmö Art Academy, Lund University), Emilio Hernández Martínez (Cocina CoLaboratorio) & Dea López (Co.merr), Michael Hiltbrunner, Christian Huck, James Jack, Astrid S. Klein, Lene Markusen, Maya Minder, Meika Mizuno, Eva Hertzsch & Adam Page, Åsa Sonjasdotter, Riikka Tauriainen, Byungseo Yoo, Daniela Zambrano Almidón, and more. With local experts Wiebke Habbe, Erika Harzer, Raphaela Kuhn & Basti Weber, Inke Magens, Marle Rudolph and others.

 

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.

A discussion with Iswanto Hartono,

and Mariko Murata
Yoshitaka Mōri

 

“Open dialogues occurring while each of us were in the bedroom, kitchen, on the sofa, or porch led to a switch where local roots were cherished and valued. This grew into the ‘Composting Knowledge’ network in 2021, where we found solidarity across borders getting together weekly to share ideas while museums, institutions, classrooms, and offices were closed.”

「ベッドルームやキッチン、ソファやポーチにいるときに交わされた我々のオープンな対話は、ローカルな根こそが大切で有益なんだという意識へとつながった。それが 2021 年の「コンポスティング・ナレッジ（堆肥にする知）」のネットワークへと発展した。そこでは、美術館や各種施設、学校やオフィスが閉まっているあいだも、毎週集まってアイデアを共有することで国境を超えた連帯が生まれたんだ。」
