Workshop

Let's stick with the Unicorns is a large-scale artistic intervention at Schillerplatz that examines public space as a concrete ecological and social situation. At its core is the question of how artistic practice can remain effective under conditions of ecological crisis. Transformation is not understood as a goal or a promise for the future, but as a present practice. The artistic works use existing materials, vegetation, traces of use, and temporal processes to actively position themselves against existing capitalist climate narratives. The artistic explorations are temporary, reversible, and site-specific.

Through the conscious use of resources, the acceptance of change, decay, and transience, the space can be experienced as a dynamic structure. Let's stick with the Unicorns refers to an attitude of active agency and personal responsibility under restrictive conditions and highlights the need not to distance oneself or succumb to cynicism despite scientifically described tipping points and irreversible processes.

The first two days are dedicated to lectures and various interventions. On the third day, May 13, the project opens with the format Platz nehmen #5 for collective reflection and invites the public to actively participate in the program.

A project by Transformation group Akbild, Research Cluster Sustainability in the Arts and Academy | Art | Public Sphere, in cooperation with Klima Biennale Wien.
