The exhibition Examples to Follow! presents artistic practices that contribute to the preservation of the planet and aim to influence conscious consumer behavior. Sustainability requires a broadening of perception in the collaborating of the arts and sciences. Boundaries between artistic and technical creativity, between feasibility and idea are abolished.
‘We don’t need morality and abstinence, but passion and desire,’ states Adrienne Goehler, the exhibition’s curator. In a first exhibition that attempts to bring aesthetics and sustainability into focus using the instruments of contemporary art, forty artists and artists’ groups have taken up this challenge. The stripped down space of the Uferhallen in Berlin-Wedding provides the setting for a range of sculptures, video works, photographs, performances and installations dealing with the cultural dimension of sustainability.
