CLIMATE ART! Berlin, Germany
CLIMATE ART!
Jan 26, 2023 - Jan 29, 2023
Art in the context of the anthropocene, environmentalism & the climate crisis
The Climate Art Collection is a Berlin based association that publishes and curates climate and nature related artworks. Our aim is to make climate change and its associated impacts accessible and approachable to a global audience, as well as to preserve the beauty of our planet. Contrary to traditional art collections acquiring & owning artworks exclusively, artists give us the rights to curate their artworks for the cause of climate awareness, whereas the artwork ownership & rights stay solely at the artist. Climate change is here and it is real. We are constantly confronted with it, avoiding it is no longer possible. Extreme weather conditions, rising sea levels, forest fires, infertile soils, melting permafrost or ocean warming - there are countless other, no less dramatic examples. Let's face it, in the long run we are not only destroying our own existence, but also that of millions of other living beings.
„If anything, art is... about morals, about our belief in humanity. Without that, there simply is no art.”
Ai Weiwei
Art is a very powerful medium with which experiences, events and feelings can be expressed and visualized. We are convinced that art addressing climate topics does not yet receive enough attention. Therefore, we make it our task to use this medium in order to spread a collective message in the world: artists as environmentalist. The initiative aims to be inclusive towards all kinds of artists and art formats, everyone is welcome to participate. We invite practitioners to contribute their own works through our digital submission channel. Selected artworks and the platform itself are constantly curated for external projects and campaigns.

‘101 Contemporary Artists’ Collect Art [Publication] Tbilisi, Georgia
The idea of Collect Art came to light at the end of December 2019, in order to support Georgian and international artists during the pandemic, however, the experience accumulated over the years and current processes pushed us to play more with Collect Art and give it different workloads.
On January 1, 2020, Collect Art was launched in the online space and we started to reach our goal. The online space allowed us to quickly reach the voice of the international artistic field. In the autumn of the same year, we started publishing magazines, and at the same time launching online exhibitions, the number of interested artists has already exceeded 500, from 96 countries of the world. In total, we have released 16 issues of seasonal magazines and special editions.
During 3 years, we were able to help several successful artists, such as Nata Buachidze, Salome Kobulashvili, Tamriko Melikishvili, George Chaushba, and many more, whose works were exhibited at the Paris Art Week, the Venice Biennale, the National Museum of Madrid and etc...
The purpose of Collect Art is to build a bridge between Georgian and international cultural events and artists, to give a chance others to think from a different perspective, and to make art even more accessible to those interested in the field of culture.

#Post RE:SET@New Future
The Covid-19 crisis, and the political, economic and social disruptions it has caused, is fundamentally changing the traditional context for decision-making. The inconsistencies, inadequacies and contradictions of multiple systems –from health and financial to energy and education – are more exposed than ever amidst a global context of concern for lives, livelihoods and the planet.
The measures against the spread of Covid-19 have also shown how to fight against climate change and how a new normality marked by the fourth revolution and the global reset will direct our new future.
the Great Reset initiative has a set of dimensions to build a new social contract that honours the dignity of every human being. These dimensions are called the fourth global revolution or a new global order.
Previous industrial revolutions liberated humankind from animal power, made mass production possible and brought digital capabilities to billions of people. This Fourth Industrial Revolution is, however, fundamentally different. It is characterized by a range of new technologies that are fusing the physical, digital and biological worlds, impacting all disciplines, economies and industries, and even challenging ideas about what it means to be human, that is, we arrive at Transhumanism.
The evidence of dramatic change is all around us and it’s happening at exponential speed.
At the end, the 4th Industrial Revolution and Transhumanism will be achieved through the merging of our physical, digital, and biological identities, along with a new social contract which includes social credit and ecological credit for each individual.
These fusions are advances in artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, the Internet of Things (IoT), 3D printing, genetic engineering (gene editing with CRISPR technology), smart vaccines (mRNA), quantum computing, virtual reality, Blockchain, artificial intelligence and other technologies. It’s the collective force behind many products and services that are fast becoming indispensable to the new global life, what matters now is the common good and the green philosophy.
How do we find hope in this Great Reset era?
The latest watershed advances occurring in the world around us directly affect the aesthetics of our visions. Our senses are alert, excited, moved, and impassioned by the pulsating rhythm of culture.
The proposl focuses on a positive, meta-creative and enlightened view of human potential, aesthetic design in technology, the prevalence of science, and aestheticism in the future architecture of life.
We are exploring how current and future technologies affect our senses, our cognition and our lives. Our attention to these relationships become fields of art as we participate in the most immediate and vital issues for the Post Reset and the Transhumanity.
The digital exhibition focuses on discussing these changes we are facing today and how art is responding to them. The creation by the artist is a hint for the products and their innovations that will create lifestyles and social consciousness in the future.
#Post RE:SET@ New Future features the works by numerous artists working on shaping the future. Works are selected and divided into the following four categories - “future envisioned by art”, “art possessing the future”, “creativity shaping the future”, “another future civilization” and “open futuristic themes”.

Bulletin Of Atomic Energy [Interview] Doomsday Clock | July 2022
Bulletin Of Atomic Energy | Interview on Doomsday Clock | July 2022
The Bulletin equips the public, policymakers, and scientists with the information needed to reduce man-made threats to our existence. The Bulletin is an independent, nonprofit 501 (c) (3) organization. We gather a diverse array of the most informed and influential voices tracking man-made threats and bring their innovative thinking to a global audience. We apply intellectual rigor to the conversation and do not shrink from alarming truths.
The Bulletin is committed to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. The profound challenges of our moment cannot be met without increasing the diversity of background and perspective of our organization. Data show that homogenous organizations have blind spots that obscure incoming risks and areas of opportunities. The Bulletin is determined to improve diversity along the lines of age, gender, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and gender identity and expression. We are less far along on race and ethnicity than we are in improving diversity in the other categories. No one person makes a team diverse, but together, we are committed to moving intentionally toward greater diversity so that we may better represent our growing audience and more powerfully reflect and advance our mission that affects all humanity.

Kunstraum Gallery | Brooklyn, NY | October 23 - November 20, 2022
KUNSTRAUM LLC
In 2015, we opened the gallery and artist-hub Kunstraum by the Navy Yard in Brooklyn. As an interdisciplinary team of artists, curators, and architects, we seek to promote emerging art, as well as outstanding exhibition concepts featuring both established and emerging artists.
KUNSTRAUM is a gallery, an artist hub, and a studio space. Our concept features both a gallery and studios inside of two 1,000 square foot lofts. The lofts are situated in a beautifully renovated factory building in the historically artistic neighborhood of Clinton Hill.
Kunstraum aims to redefine the way artists and curators collaborate. By opening our gallery to different art professionals interested in sharing engaging ideas, unconventional thinking, and risk-taking, Kunstraum pushes the parameters of emerging, international, contemporary art.
Kunstraum is born out of a necessity to create community and foster collaboration between artists, architects, curators, designers, filmmakers, and writers. The Kunstraum model features excellent studio locations, networking, research opportunities, and discourse for creative production.
In addition to regular memberships, locally advertised via the Listings Project, Kunstraum now dedicates three studios year-round to an artist residency for both national and international artists to join our community for a period of 3 months. Applications are accepted via an Open Call and on a rolling basis upon availability.
After successfully inaugurating our first space in New York as of January 2015, we seek to expand to Berlin soon. KUNSTRAUM’s global identity is designed to offer and promote international mobility and visibility.
KUNSTRAUM respectfully acknowledges that we are on the occupied and unceded lands of the Canarsie, who are part of the Munsee Lenape. We recognize them as the original stewards of this land and pay respects to their elders—past, present, and future.
