Description

The state of the world's forests has become an alarming indicator of the imbalances that existbetween the planet's tree population and humanity's production of carbon dioxide. Logging andthe profit-oriented exploitation of woodlands are accelerating the ecological crisis, while climatechange fuels deforestation. The publication Into the Woods, which accompanies the exhibitionof the same name, focuses on the forest as a habitat, its ecological processes, and the threats itfaces. Works by eighteen contemporary artists examine how humans influence the condition offorests and cause their destruction, while at the same time exploring the collective and symbioticnature of the forest ecosystem.With works by Rodrigo Arteaga, Anca Benera & Arnold Estefán, Eline Benjaminsen, Alma Heikkilä,Monica Ursina Jäger, Markus Jeschaunig, Isa Klee, Susanne Kriemann, Jeewi Lee, Antje Majewski,Richard Mosse, Katie Paterson, Oliver Ressler, Abel Rodríguez, Diana Scherer, Rasa Smite & RaitisSmits.The publication appears in conjunction with the Klima Biennale Wien 2024, 5 April - 14 July 2024
