Moderator: Danielle de Picciotto

Mary Muszynski is a state-certified landscape architect with expertise in park development and sustainable projects. She led an architectural firm that completed over 50 public and private projects. She developed the strategy for greening hillsides with native ecosystems for the city's largest new park in generations. She led the city's first Green Street pilot project, as well as six other projects in this area. She coordinated 13 teams of consultants in implementing investments in buildings, pathways, and parks in arid regions. She was an early advocate for the development of nature-based infrastructure for rainwater harvesting in one of the country's most challenging climate zones.

Olga Volchkova, Oregon is a classically trained painter and restorer, joined a prominent team of icon painters of the post-Soviet era in the early 1990s. In her current icons, she venerates herbs, flowers, and other plants—a secular continuation of this tradition. An avid gardener who partly grew up in a self-sufficient village, she is deeply engaged with natural morphology and the history of the human-plant relationship.

Vibeke Jensen, Norway. Her work explores the poetic power and political potential of art through sensual and provocative interventions in public spaces, art galleries, and museums. She aims to stimulate the possibility of transformative encounters by addressing cracks and ruptures within the dominant logic of society in every context, thus engaging in a critical spatial practice. Alongside her artistic practice, Jensen teaches in Bergen, where she introduces students to a critical spatial practice that connects artistic approaches with environmental issues. Since 2020, Vibeke Jensen has collaborated with Santiago De Waele, Belgium, as the artist duo De Jenz. In the summer of 2021, De Jenz founded AKWANAUTØYNA—an art experiment in Norway's westernmost settlement—on a remote island in the Norwegian Sea. Here, they explore critical interfaces with the coastal environment and initiate interactive collaborations with local communities and international networks.



The artist talk is held withing the exhibition
 “In Keeping With The Times– Reflections On The Climate Crisis”
Exhibition: January 17, 2026 – February 7, 2026

According to an expert panel, Germany will not meet its 2030 climate targets. The government's Council of Experts on Climate Change announced that the goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 65 percent by 2030 will be missed. 
However, countless individuals and initiatives worldwide are working tirelessly to improve conditions.

In this exhibition, artists present works that address the environment, the changing climate, natural disasters, species extinction, and the pollution of oceans and rivers. Are they searching for solutions, or do they feel helpless? Is there a poetic approach, or is this reality too overwhelming? Does art have a responsibility to address climate change? Does the underground scene engage with this theme artistically?
The exhibition is curated by the artist Danielle de Picciotto. Her motivation: “In the 80s, it was about radically questioning art and music styles; in the 90s, it was about radical new technologies/the digital age. Today, there is nothing more radical than confronting climate change and rethinking everything we take for granted. I constantly feel called to initiate projects that question our reality and the rules and regulations we adhere to. For a long time, the underground was my main theme—the question of how profit dominates our civilization. “Then I began to question gender norms and discrimination in this field and to raise awareness of underground female artists. In recent years, climate change has become an increasingly important issue for me. Sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll seem old-fashioned and reactionary in the face of this enormous threat. That's why I decided to integrate this topic into my projects and my art. I feel responsible for doing my part. Art can offer visions, approaches, and creative new paths to inspire others. Imagination can move worlds. This exhibition aims to initiate a positive approach in this direction. The participating artists come from very different countries. It was important for me to present an international vision to demonstrate how this issue is being addressed. globally We can no longer maintain a local, narrow perspective; it's about the whole picture, the holistic view. We must learn to work together.
