The researchers of this project, four painters and one critic, who have intensively studied the landscape artistically and academically, want to radically link their artistic and art-critical practice with this project to the most important global and social issue of today: the consequences of global warming for men and the landscape.
The project starts with the reading of Naomi Klein's No time (De Geus, 2014). On the basis of this, a framework is created that maps out the different artistic and art-critical positions and is proportionate to the general problem of climate change.
How do we link the ecological problems to our practice as artists? What does the world of (painting) art require today? What can the 21th century landscape painting look like and, above all, how do we relate ourselves, not just as painters but also as artist in relation to a world in crisis?
