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.
