GfZK Exhibition Text: Things That Were Are Things Again is an attempt to realise a climate-neutral exhibition. Together with artists and designers we test sustainable strategies to reduce energy consumption and enable recycling processes. The works on display bear witness to a careful use of resources and focus on social interaction and a regard for diverse living beings. Expanding the contents of the collection, we have invited artists whose works highlight the technological, political, economic and cultural dimensions of climate change.
Things That Were Are Things Again stands for a commitment to transformation processes. The title is borrowed from a work by Dan Peterman, an important representative of sustainable artistic practice. In the context of the history of GfZK it points to the question of how art can contribute to respectful coexistence.
