Works by Tom Albrecht

13.8.-8.10. 2021

Artistic work on the state of our society and its relationship to nature with 50 works by Tom Albrecht from 1965 – 2021.
Actions, photographs, text, installations, moving objects, video, Super 8 .
The teeth shine. The NPP is dancing. The shell shows its treasure. The canister becomes human. The cow’s udder is plump. Globes fly, and so does the touch-me-not. Homage is paid to the logos. Corona yells. The fossil club looms.

“Something ironic and slightly absurd resonates there – a special form of wit or poetic humour is inherent in his work, which makes things – even if they weigh heavily – light and thus easier to grasp. Not the moral reproach, but rather the unexpected image, the oblique idea lie in Tom Albrecht’s artistic calculation.” Dr. Peter Funken, 2021.

Tom Albrecht founded Group Global 3000 in 2012 as a project space with a gallery and has since curated 53 exhibitions with the team.

The tunnel relieves the place. You can eat your ice cream in peace over it. There are only a few cars left. For example the ones you should see. He also attracts cars because things are faster now. If you stay at the exit of the tunnel it is a little noisy. And on the left is a shopping center. You don’t see that here. But you can get there faster and pack everything in the trunk right away. That is practical. The green will definitely be home to valuable species.

Corona Performance / Viral Horizons

The idea for this performance arose spontaneously under the first impression of the threat of the corona virus and the following shutdown of the economy, travel and physical encounters. “The virus is the most radical decelerator of our time”. (Hartmut Rosa)

Climate change and the Corona pandemic are linked. Being globally everywhere and using global resources is part of the reason for the pandemic. More and more people are claiming more and more wildlife habitats, land use has changed dramatically, wildlife, livestock and animal products are transported around the globe, and global travel has increased dramatically.

CHOREOGRAPHY INDIGO WINGS

The planet a sphere, yielding to gravity a breathing, an admission to rotation in the colored twilight, to perishability, to becoming and passing, an exercise in trust in the carrying capacity of the earth’s crust, an overcoming of civilization’s flight acceleration frenzy, a momentary collapse of total networking, an attempt at vanity withdrawal, a suspension, a farewell, a flapping of wings, a prayer close to the earth, an erection of the spine against the gesture of domination, a shift in perspective in several sequences, a transformation of technototalitarian arrogance.
