At the Tipping Point

Taking a deliberately kaleidoscopic approach, the exhibition 1.5 Degrees and the accompanying catalogue encourage us to address the climate crisis in a curious, innovative, participatory, and active way. More than 30 international artists, including melanie bonajo, Laure Prouvost, Julian Charrière, Otobong Nkanga, Marianna Simnett, Ernesto Neto and the collective SUPERFLEX, explore the complex interdependencies between humans, nature and technology, and search for solutions, from plants as data repositories, algae as energy sources and microorganisms as empathic dialogue partners. Including all parts of the museum collections as well as new outdoor installations at the National Garden Show BUGA, the book presents various models of how to use the means of art to reshape the coexistence of species and emphasizes the hope-giving potential of creativity and innovation.

A group of international artists shed light on how the climate crisis affects all areas of life. This catalog accompanies a group show illuminating the complex intertwinement of humans, nature and technology. International artists such as Ernesto Neto, Melanie bonajo, Otobong Nkanga and Marianna Simnett draw attention to the ecological, political and social interactions of the climate crisis.
