Maria Korporal – Emergency Call 2025
Group Global 3000 invites to the exhibition The Art of Climate Communication
Exhibition with program October 10 – November 21, 2025, Tue. and Fri. 17-20 h
Group Global 3000, Leuschnerdamm 19, 10999 Berlin Kreuzberg
How do we win people over to climate protection? The climate crisis is the biggest challenge of our time – and yet many people feel powerless and cannot be reached for change. How do we manage to reach people, touch them and motivate them to act? By not only pointing out the problems, but also by telling stories that touch people, give them hope and present concrete ways in which everyone can make a contribution. Climate communication is a key to shaping change. We see art as a force here!

The installation consists of an old telephone on a pedestal and, above it on the wall, a screen showing a video. In the video, the same telephone lies on an asphalt surface, accompanied by a text urging visitors to pick up the receiver and speak.
Once someone does, the scene changes: in the video, I take the receiver and respond. Through the real receiver, visitors now hear my voice inviting them to a “Call to Climate Action.” The message recalls the urgency of the climate crisis, encourages sustainable action, and directly calls on listeners to express their own thoughts and feelings.
Meanwhile, in the video, speech bubbles with slogans from climate communication appear and transform through animation into images of ecological solutions. Visitors’ voices and sounds additionally generate rhythmic waves of color that circle the small planet – at once a reminder of global warming and a vision of a hopeful future.
The work invites an open dialogue on climate change and makes tangible how individual voices can become part of a shared vision for transformation.

25 Years Anniversary – 2000-2025 – The New Museum of Networked Art
Celebration program of video art curated by Wilfried Agricola de Cologne

18 December 2024 – 31 March 2025
Featuring 80 videos by
Silvia de Gennaro – Maria Korporal
Susanne Wiegner & Brit Bunkley
The 4 Ecologists
As much as the 4 artists – Silvia de Gennaro – Maria Korporal – Susanne Wiegner and Brit Bunkley may differ in their nature, expression and concepts, they are united by their artistic excellence, the use of artistic animation as a means of expression and the committed content of their art videos, which makes them ecologists, artistic investigators in the truest sense.
As a project of the New Museum of Networked Art – “The 4 Ecologists” also belong in the context of the retrospective of “animateC – Cologne Art & Animation Festival” on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the founding of the Museum of Networked Art and the first complete presentation of the Anthropocene Project, which deals with the influence of humans on their environment, reflected in climate change, the destruction of natural resources and escalating social, political and cultural tensions. All of this can be found in the work of these four artists and the more than 80 videos. Represented by 20 individual videos each, the project is also a retrospective of their artistic work since 2010, which also reflects the development of animation over the past 15 years.
Wilfried Agricola de Cologne
The project can be visited online from 18 December 2024 – 31 March 2025, and it will also be shown in the Torrance Art Museum, Los Angeles, from 18 January – 1 March 2025.
