Gallery KIT, Trondheim
This exhibition explores the role of art in relation to sustainable development. The pieces illuminate a wide variety of aspects; from our paradoxical relationship with nature, the role of technology in the environment, and the value of nature, to conflicts between center and periphery and questions concerning our lifestyles and urban developments.
Voices and Expressions on Sustainability
Curator: Rickard Borgstrom
This exhibition explores the role of art in relation to sustainable development. The artists offer their personal reflections regarding this issue. The pieces, created specifically for this exhibition, illuminate a wide variety of aspects; from our paradoxical relationship with nature, the role of technology in the environment, and the value of nature, to conflicts between center and periphery and questions concerning our lifestyles and urban developments. The exhibition even includes visions for sustainable development in the Mid-Nordic region as presented by leading government officials. The idea is to create a productive tension between the reflections of the artists and the visions of the government officials. The exhibition does not offer solutions to the many challenges we are faced with within the concept of sustainable development, but rather offers a space for reflection concerning this critical question.
