Guided Tour

WHEN THE WIND BLOWS

Eduardo Leal, aus der Serie Plastic Trees, 2014

The exhibition deals with the element of air.  In the context of the current climate crisis, air pollution and storms as well as wind power as a renewable energy source play an important role. The works of the selected artists from different generations aim to make this important, yet invisible element visually tangible. They deal with the most diverse aspects and meanings of air, wind and breath and examine their manifestations in ecology, science, politics, culture and mythology.


A joint tour will give an overview of the artistic attempt to represent wind, breath and air. We will reflect on socio-political issues in the context of wind and discuss the different approaches, media and working methods of the artists.
