The Flechtwerk Association cordially invites you to explore artistic perspecives on our ambivalent actions to save the future and to reflect on our interconnectedness with the Earth’s deep subsurface and its impact on our bodies, minds, and existence. The underground occupies the paradox of being both an economically and climate-relevant zone. Mineral extraction and CO2 sequestration are vital for achieving a NetZero balance and the Energy Transition. However, these methods also present a contradiction, as they carry environmental risks.

Join our exhibition, workshop and Layer Talks on technological climate interventions and linear solution paradigms that risk to perpetuate the seemingly endless cycle of consumption and production.

The opening features a speech by Nora Mayr, independent curator, and a special Carbon Banquet intervention.

The exhibition will run from June 12 to June 26. Visits are by appointment only: connect@flechtwerk.or.at. The exhibition is accompanied by the workshop verti(E)cology on 13 June and the Layer Talks on 26 June. For more information, please refer to the link provided.

The Kulturabteilung Stadt Wien and the Austrian Federal Ministry Housing, Arts, Culture, Media and Sports fund the project.
