]]> ALLES ALLEN is an Kunst am Bau (art in architecture) project that expands the question of ownership to include the issues of resources, conservation, and reuse. Throughout the new construction and relocation of the Gustav Heinemann Secondary School in Berlin-Marienfelde (2022–2025), the ALLES ALLEN team worked together with students on questions surrounding what climate justice means, what role their own resource consumption plays in everyday life, what could be repurposed or reused, and which photos, drawings, and stories could be recycled.

In close collaboration with the Mitkunstzentrale and the Haus der Materialisierung – a production site for climate-friendly resource use in Berlin – used carpentry, hardboard, and aluminum panels were collected and processed so that they could be further processed with milling, screen printing, and digital printing. These materials, images, and stories were used to create two picture friezes that frame the foyer of the new school.

Accompanying the picture panels and photographs, ALLES ALLEN not only recounts the collaborative creation of the friezes, but also raises questions about the possibilities of reusing resources and the responsibility of artists in the context of public projects. The publication connects the question of personal ownership with the associated social obligations of resource justice.

]]> What do art museums have to do with climate change? Do they need to radically transform the way they work? The publication Things That Were Are Things Again accompanies the collection exhibition of the same name at the GfZK – Museum of Contemporary Art Leipzig. This was the museum’s first attempt to produce a climate-neutral exhibition. The curators and designers of the exhibition reflect on the two-year working process, during which they tried out resource-saving and climate-friendly strategies and dealt with climate change from various perspectives. 24 artistic positions, mainly works from the museum’s collection, but also several new productions, examined technological, political, economic and cultural aspects of climate change. How sustainable can plastic be? Have the ‘tropics’ always been the future? Can the principles of permaculture be applied to artistic endeavours?

With works by Lara Almarcegui, Lars Bergmann, Kent Chan, Céline Condorelli, Katarína Dubovská, Ólafur Elíasson, Till Exit, Ian Hamilton Finlay, Andrea Garcia Vasquez, Elizabeth Gerdeman, Interspecies Society, Christine Hill, Johanna Kandl, Inga Kerber, Imi Knoebel, Hanne Lippard, Muntean/Rosenblum, Olaf Nicolai, Dan Peterman, Maren Roloff, Christoph Schäfer, Sean Snyder, Sarah Sze, Auke de Vries
