黑料不打烊

Terrestrial Perspectives brings together works which open up diverse perspectives on the complex interaction between humans and their environment. On show is a concentrated selection of around thirty photographs, prints, paintings, sculptures, and video works, complemented by a few performative formats. Starting with the collections and exhibition history of the Ludwig Forum Aachen, artistic practices from Land Art of the late 1960s through to the most recent present are featured which share an interest in engaging with the earth鈥檚 surface: from constructive and conceptual approaches through to critical perspectives on local and global structures of land usage, raw materials acquisition and exploitation, as well as the consequences resulting from dramatically changing natural environments.

The exhibition opens with a vitrine that provides insights into past projects and activities of the Ludwig Forum devoted to questions of ecology and sustainability. As early as 1994, three years after the museum opened in a former umbrella factory, an international group exhibition was held, Arte Amazonas. Climate Global, that was conceived on the occasion of the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro (1992). In 2010, the landscape architects Marc Pouzol, V茅ronique Faucheur, and Marc Vatinel (atelier le balto) reconfigured the park grounds of the museum to fit its use requirements and the cyclical growth of nature.
