Text by Şehnaz Layıkel Prange on the exhibition:

What does “The Good Life” mean in our world today? The title itself already contains in itself that we are searching for something different. This is followed by the questions: Is “The Good Life” an imaginary utopia or is it a realistic possibility? Is the contemplation of this concept alone sufficient? How do the ideas of a “Good Life” relate to their attempts at implementation? Is “The Good Life” really a single “Good Life” or should we speak of a good life in the plural?

Perhaps these are the questions that resonate with our great need, in this time of turbulence and existential fears, on multiple levels.

“The Good Life”: Utopias for Eye, Ear, Nose, Mind is a group exhibition based on six artistic positions: Tom Albrecht, Thomas Behling, Lioba von den Driesch, Mariel Gottwick, Stephan Gross, Maria Korporal. In this exhibition, each artist interprets the concept of the “good life” from a different perspective.

Referring to different contents of a “Good Life”, ranging from feelings to ecology, the artists simultaneously propose and question individual and collective solutions. In other words, they question existing trends and existing methods of healing, while at the same time proposing new ways of perceiving and dealing with problems in today’s world.

Through its multimedia nature, the exhibition appeals to all the senses. One encounters playful interventions as well as solution-oriented proposals of the artists in different forms, such as object, image, audio, installation and video.

Group Global 3000 invites you to the exhibition “The Good Life”, utopias for eye, ear, nose and mind.

In the context of the exhibition, various events will take place in which experts and the artists will discuss the topic from different perspectives together with the guests.

FIVE FOR 12

Exhibition in Galerie mp43 – projektraum für das periphere
Stollbergerstr. 73, 12627 Berlin

November 6-27, 2022

Opening: Sunday November 6, 2022, 15-18 h

Artist Talk: Thursday November 17, 16-17 h

Since 2013, the artist initiative Group Global 3000 has been showing exhibitions that deal with pressing issues of ecological sustainability. Under the title “5vor12” (5 for 12), the group is now a guest at the mp43 project space. Using various artistic media, it seeks an expression for the urgency of responding to the fundamental upheavals that have been noticeably damaging life on our planet for a long time, but soon threaten to escalate fully. Five positions reflect the trepidation, but also the opportunities of what feels like five minutes left to act.

In a survey, Tom Albrecht calls on the visitors to insert their behaviour in the face of the crisis into a scheme that is intended to model the desire and reality of action. To this end, the object “Transformation” draws attention to the necessity of the energy turnaround and at the same time serves as a homage to the technical inventiveness of mankind.

Mariel Gottwick’s installation “… and if they burn, I can’t help it.” shows insects in a light object and in photographs. In a juxtaposition of a distanced and a close-up perspective, our complex fellow creatures are rehabilitated from their status as vanishing points of displeasure projections. They deserve respect not only because they help save life on earth, but because they are a fascinating part of it.

The duty of care for all living things also preoccupies Stephan Groß. His experimental film “BIS NICHTS MEHR ÜBRIG IST” shows a systematic collapse in words and sounds until literally nothing is left. Five words and Five Sounds subjected to an alarming successive clear-cutting as a paraphrase of overexploitation, exploitation, extinction and disappearance.

The large-format work “The Full Catastrophe” by Alexa Helbig, executed in mixed media, shows an expressive abstract scene around a dead animal. The titular expression, originally a film quote, entered common parlance and today also serves as a vehicle for the idea of unsparing contemplation and acceptance of even the worst crises as a coping strategy.

Maria Korporal’s interactive, multimedia installation “Emergency Call Center”, which consists of several videos in different formats, deals with extreme climatological events. A central element of the work is a telephone that can be listened to and answered, prompting people to respond to the Earth’s emergency call.

What the works have in common is the question: Can it be that we can only win the race against time if we pause and give more space to reflection?

Fossil Addiction

Exhibition, dialogues, performances, workshop

About the exhibition:

The exploitation of fossil fuels has allowed us the dream of flying, the freedom of the open road, a consume-craze, a plastic wonderland, and a comfortable warm apartment. Our use of petroleum, heating oil, natural gas can also be seen as a drug problem.
We use this state-sanctioned fossil drug with all its side effects of CO2 and environmental destruction. Coming clean from this drug causes withdrawal symptoms and all the irrationalities that go along with them. One need only look at the reader’s comments about ideas for a speed limit of 30km/h in the city or 130km/h on the highway. A recognition of the disease is lacking – rational reasoning gives way to addiction-led blindness.

How do artists see our fossil addiction and its therapy? How do we recognize the addiction? Where does it show itself? How could withdrawal therapy for citizens and the state look? We would like to explore answers to these questions.

Participating artists: Tom Albrecht, Jörn Birkholz, Stephan Groß, Marina Camargo, Björn Fischer/Elisabeth-Marie Leistikow/Richard Millig/Maren Schwier, Sabine Janz, Maria Korporal, Merav Leibkuechler, Steph Marx, Christoph Medicus, Jasmin Odendahl, Katja Struif
