Focus of the current final station | Berlin

  • The preoccupation with the climate disaster has (has) increased significantly in art since the beginning of the exhibition in 2010, in the meantime programs for the operational ecological efficiency of artistic institutions are piling up in the political sphere. However, this support is only aimed at the institutions.
  • ZNE! On the other hand, from the beginning it was about expanding the content of the individual artistic resonance space, about (in order) to get involved with the means of art in transformative fields – from the city to material development, from climate theater to sustainable exhibition concepts – and the social perception and Expand imagination for transformation. It requires strengthening the imagination of a good life, sensual knowledge. This is exactly what aesthetics means.
  • There is an impressive number of currently 185 voices who, each from their own perspective, are demanding a fund for aesthetics and sustainability from politics in order to make artistic, scientific research and knowledge of movement permeable to one another. It needs its own conveyor for this. We draw from the reservoir of these voices as a basis for workshops, panels and lectures during the exhibition, as we will also continue to negotiate the need for a FÄN.
  • It has now become an undeniable fact that construction / building materials account for 40% of global CO2 emissions and this is currently being multiplied by the ruined Ukrainian places. In addition to the human tragedies, this is also an ecological one. The quantities of conventional building materials required for reconstruction will not be readily available. Alternatives to this are urgently needed, including those that involve the homeless.
