„We cannot rely on experts“

Adrienne Goehler talks about EXAMPLES TO FOLLOW!, its history and topicality of the traveling exhibition, as well as basic income/basic outcome and why experts have no solutions for the complex problems of our time.

During my “government internship” I experienced that people think strictly in terms of departments and responsibilities. The mentality prevails: “Don’t interfere in my area. Cooperation only if it doesn’t cost me anything.” That scared me quite a bit. And in the juries for cultural promotion, the divisional thinking just continued. It became clear to me that we have to support transdisciplinary projects, we need that more urgently than ever today. We must not leave the state of the world to the experts in politics and economics. They will not provide any solutions.

Global explorations in terms of sustainability

The Research Institute for Sustainability (RIFS) Potsdam reports in a blog post about the current exhibition station of ZNE! in the Berlin Uferhallen.

Through the special practice of always adding more artworks and local expertise to each new location, ZNE! has been breaking new ground and cultivating a new artistic approach.

It’s the same with the finale: a dozen new works are added in Berlin.

Today’s fungal biotechnology researches how the metabolic potential of fungi can be harnessed for a sustainable and recyclable bioeconomy. Soon not only medicines, enzymes and biofuels will be produced with mushrooms, but also clothing, furniture and even houses. How this could work and which bio-based scenarios for possible living and living environments of the future with and through fungi seem possible to us today is the subject of MY-CO PLACE.

MY-CO PLACE MY-CO PLACE is a temporary meeting place in the heart of Berlin that places mushrooms and mushroom materials at the center of a debate about future ways of building and living. From May 12 to July 31, 2023, the BHROX Bauhaus reuse – a city laboratory for transdisciplinary education, research and participation in the middle of Ernst-Reuter-Platz – will be transformed into a mushroom place.

Here, in MY-CO PLACE, visitors can come into direct contact with the microscopically small but macroscopically experienceable world of mushrooms. This place will be a learning station, exhibition space and discussion platform in equal measure, in which sustainable living and living with and through mushrooms can be experienced, thought through and understood.

MY-CO PLACE is a transdisciplinary real laboratory by Prof. Very Meyer (TU Berlin) and Prof. Sven Pfeiffer (Hochschule Bochum) and, as part of StadtManufaktur Berlin, enables scientists, students and partners from culture, civil society, Economy and politics. In lectures, workshops, seminars and teaching projects, potentials and utopias for a sustainably built environment are discussed together and solution scenarios for the Berlin-Brandenburg metropolitan region are developed collaboratively.
