ON SCREEN: CLIMATE CHANGE IN THE ARTS, 27.06.2020 19.20, 3Sat

Climate art is booming. Saving the planet is a major theme of biennials and art museums. Climate art á la Olafur Eliasson is a strong image and morally on the right side. But in many cases also “folkloristic kitsch” (Harald Welzer). And sometimes also simply bigoted: because the international art scene with its biennials and fairs is producing a large amount of CO2 itself. What is the role of artists if it comes to dealing with climate change? To shake things up at all costs – just like the artistic forms of action of groups like extinction rebellion? Or to think more modestly and reduce their own CO2 footprint – with less and different art. The documentary  explores this question.

Written and directed by Frauke Schlieckau. A production by Kobalt Productions

IN PRODUCTION: PORTRAIT JÉRôME BEL FOR ARTE METROPOLIS

Jérôme Bel is one of the stars of the international dance scene. His pieces are shown all over the world, from Australia to Thailand to America. For years, the Frenchman did travel around the world with his dancers, but that is all over now. Jerome Bel doesn’t fly anymore, for the sake of the climate. For Arte Metropolis, Frauke Schlieckau visited the choreographer in Paris and talked to him about the impact his climate activism has on his art.

IN PRODUCTION: CLIMATE CHANGE IN THE ARTS – A CULTURAL DOCUMENTARY FOR 3SAT, 37. min.

Climate art is booming. The saving of the planet is the big theme of the biennials and art museums. Climate political art á la Olafur Eliasson’s “Iceberg melts before our eyes”  is strong picture and morally on the right side. But in many cases also “folkloric kitsch” (Harald Weltzer). And sometimes even simply bigoted: because the international art scene with its biennials and fairs is an unparalleled CO2 catapult. What is the task of art in climate change? Shaking up at any price – as do the artistic forms of action of Exctinction Rebellion? Or rather think more modestly and reduce your own CO2 footprint – with less and different art. The 3Sat documentary explores this question. A production by Kobalt Productions.
