Group Global 3000 invites to the exhibition Wash my fur, but don’t make me wet

Exhibition with program May 3 – June 14, 2024, Tue. and Fri. 17-20 h
Group Global 3000, Leuschnerdamm 19, 10999 Berlin Kreuzberg

The majority of society wants climate protection, but does not want to change. It becomes nervous, susceptible to fossil lobby campaigns, superstitions and right-wing influences.
People are in favor of doing something about man-made global warming, but they still want to fly on vacation. You deny your own fossil addiction. The other countries, the politicians, should take action against the climate crisis. People do not want to see their own responsibility, as voters of political parties and polluters of CO₂ emissions as consumers of flights, cars and goods. Of course, something should change, just not in your own life. Science calls this behavior cognitive dissonance.

Participating artists: Tom Albrecht, Thomas Behling, Anna Orlikowska, Benna Gaean Maris, Susanna Giese, Stephan Gross, Danny Hermann, Ines Hock, Tobias Bilgeri & Jens Isensee, Maria Korporal, Joana Lucas, John Maibohm, Annegret Müller, Froso Papadimitriou, Lita Poliakova, Susa Ramsthaler, Alexander Rommel (aerroscape), Rosa Schmidt, Daniel Theiler, Anja Witt, Alla Zhyvotova

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.
