13. 2. – 1. 4. 2020<\/span><\/p>\n

In his first solo exhibition in the Czech Republic, Oliver Ressler presents films and photographic works focused on the climate justice movements and forms of resistance to the wrecking of the Earth\u2019s climate \u2013 and the basis of human existence. The title \u201cNo Future is cancelled\u201d <\/i>points to the necessity for people to engage politely, not to leave decisions that affect all our lives neither to national politicians nor transnational corporations, and to engage in \u2013 what Jeremy Brecher coined \u2013 \u201cclimate insurgency\u201d on a massive and global scale. <\/span><\/p>\n

In the first film, activists contest the UN Climate Change Conference in Paris in 2015, where governments proved themselves incapable of commitment to any binding agreement that would curtail global warming. The film on the Ende Gel\u00e4nde<\/i> action shifts the focus to a massive civil disobedience action at the Lusatia lignite coal fields (near Berlin), where 4,000 activists entered an open-cast mine. The film on the ZAD focuses on Europe\u2019s largest autonomous territory, which emerged from the struggle against a new airport at Nantes in France. The ZAD successfully exemplifies the necessity that resistance and the creation of alternatives happen simultaneously. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cNo Future is cancelled\u201d <\/i>is complemented through different photographic works referring to the climate crises: The stranded managers of \u201cStranded\u201d (2015); the lightbox \u201cFor A Completely Different Climate\u201d (2008) that critically engages with how activists are described in media; \u201cRed Line Against Fossil Capitalism\u201d (2017\/2019) and the photomontage \u201cArctic permafrost is less permanent than its name suggests\u201d (2019) that will be first presented on the occasion of this exhibition. <\/span><\/p>\n
