Since the ozone hole, global warming, the tsunami catastrophy and the New Orleans flood, the themes of sustainability and sustainable development are again on the political agenda and in the media. A whole industry of fear lives off of it as a film like ‘The Day after Tomorrow’ shows.

The contemporary art discourse addresses the dominance of the technocentric and economistic nature of the sustainability discussion in a critical, destructive or ironic manner thereby distinguishing itself from an all too moralistic impetus. What remains from the western metanarrative (Ulf Wuggenig) ‘sustainable development’ which promises salvation through technological innovation and instrumental reason?

Following political scientist Alain Lipietz, the exhibition poses the question of cultural revolution, the blindspot in the sustainability discussion which addresses perception and evaluation schemes as well as dispositions of action (lifestyles). At the same time it is also questioning if such an ambivalent thought like sustainable development can be a subject matter of art?
