Praying for the good sustainable life is independent of religion or known faith communities. Prayer should awaken and strengthen strength for the good sustainable life.

The Good Sustainable Living has a vision. We are working to achieve them. It supports the United Nations‘ 17 Sustainable Development Goals.

The prayer is said together, without irony, all standing in a circle.

Prayer

“Our higher power is doing things together for the good of sustainable life.

We pray to receive the strength for this.

I see Good Sustainable Living as the only way for the future of people on earth.

I connect with the vision of the good sustainable life.

I am active for the Good Sustainable Living.

I work together with other people for the good sustainable life

This gives me strength”

Thank you!

Prayer spoken together on 16.6.23, finissage of the exhibition “The good life”.

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.

Art action at the sewage overflow No. 9846 at the Wildenbruch Bridge in Berlin, Neukölln, Schiffahrtskanal, Kiehlufer in the context of the “Art and Culture Festival 48 STUNDEN NEUKÖLLN” 16.6.2012.

Tom Albrecht: Installation, performance and concept,
Amy J. Klement: Performance, Installation

We continued the “Making Bathwater” action from 2011 with installation, sound and performance. A two-hour lifeact. The scaled maiden from the sea acts on a raft with a comb and sings the Lorel song, the penguin man fishes for giant sausages, garlanded with tinsel.

Background

When it rains heavily, the sewer system overflows and a mixture of rain and sewage with fecal matter from streets, roofs and households flows into the sewer. Polluted canal water, oxygen deficiency, fish mortality, bathing prohibition are the result. Berlin has 160 “emergency outlets”. A misguided development of our urban development and the way we treat nature.
The few overflow reservoirs and the canal management of the water companies are not sufficient.

Our demands

The canals should get bathing quality again!
More roofs and the channel in shallow water zones need to be greened,
City areas to be unsealed,
Rain  seeps,
Ships create fewer waves,
Separate waste and storm sewers,
less wastewater has to be treated in an energy-intensive way.

18.6. and 19.6.2011
Berlin, Neukölln, shipping canal

Bathing in the Landwehr Canal

The bathroom at the front door was a matter of course until the 1950s, but today it is a dangerous luxury.  When it rains heavily, the sewer system overflows and a mixture of rain and sewage with fecal matter from streets, roofs and households flows into the sewer. Polluted canal water, oxygen deficiency, fish mortality, bathing prohibition are the result. An aberration in our treatment of nature.

The few overflow reservoirs and the canal management of the water companies are not enough.  The canals should get bathing quality again!  More roofs and the canal in shallow water zones must be greened, city surfaces must be unsealed, rain  must be infiltrated, ships must create fewer waves, wastewater and stormwater canals must be separated, less wastewater must be treated in an energy-intensive way.

We cleaned the water from the shipping canal and I bathed in it with the active participation of the guests.

Comments

“Great. Next year I’m going in! My dream : bathing in the Spree!!! ( a cousin did it in 1961 and I was small and heavily impressed; however the whole family declared him crazy and had to take a shower afterwards ) A.”

“Well, that was a happening of Jesuit dimenson. R.”

“…. I would have liked to have seen that, if only for nostalgic reasons: my father, a Neuköllner by heart and soul, always told us that he bathed in the canal as a boy. It gave him great pleasure and did him no harm. A.”
