Curatorial Concept by mp Warming
As an American artist and curator watching my country tailspin from my distant perch in this sweet city, the history of Berlin's swift transformations has given me hope. We should all be aware by now that the natural impact of corporate, financial, and political greed is degradation and possible extinction for us and our planet. Let's instead begin to think of power in a generative way, like the power to ignite ideas.
Overcoming our imminent challenges with climate change, pollution, and overpopulation will take a multitude of compassionate, collective approaches for all the system changes that are necessary. Through metaphor and experimentation, art can help us see our way towards a compassionate future for nature kind.
This series of exhibits is a push towards multidisciplinary making and a drive for more fact-based communication in visual art. Like leading-edge architects working with multidisciplinary teams of designers, and scientists creating solutions with new materials for greener public needs, teams of artists and scientists can also be at the forefront of collective creating.
Where is fine art to be located in our ever more nomadic futures? One of the answers may be right here Berlin, in your forward-thinking, ever-changing, and presently wonderful public sphere.
