]]> 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

]]> At the Tunix Congress in Berlin in 1978, the undogmatic left developed new forms of work and projects. In an atmosphere of discussion, action and festivity, lively debates took place on such subjects as, among others, alternative energy production, self-run youth centres, neo-Nazis in West Germany, feminism and ecology, the ‘newʼ French theory, survival in urban neighbourhoods, left-wing bookstores and bars.

The meeting in Tunix was a breeding ground for new project formulations. The term project stood for networking, flexibility and self-determined activities. Since then, the use of the term project has shifted – the project itself has become a model of neoliberal forms of work and organisation. Forty years after Tunix, this ambivalence, as well as the political concerns inherent in the praxis of projects, must be re-considered.
