SUMMARY:Conversation between artist Oliver Ressler and Professor Ashley Dawson
DESCRIPTION:Join the James Gallery for Art & Collaborative Inquiry\, CUNY Graduate Center\, for a conversation between the renowned artist and social movements researcher Oliver Ressler and CUNY Professor Ashley Dawson on September 13\, 2024 @6pm. RSVP for the talk here. \nJames Gallery for Art & Collaborative Inquiry\, CUNY Graduate Center\, presents a collection of films and graphic works of Oliver Ressler\, the renowned artist and social movements researcher\, in his first-ever solo exhibition in New York; on exhibition Sept. 12-Nov. 1 \nSince 2008\, Austria-based Oliver Ressler has dedicated his art to exploring diverse activist approaches in response to the climate crisis that has pushed our world to the precipice of multiple catastrophic “tipping points.” These critical thresholds\, once crossed\, unleash colossal and often irreversible changes within our climate system. Climate activists around the world confront corporations producing fossil fuel\, while demanding more action from their governments to curb carbon emissions. Ranging from poetic to documentary\, and often interventionist representations\, Ressler’s works focus on communities and activist groups in Austria\, Germany\, Spain\, and Ecuador\, who resist construction projects and mining operation that cause destruction of natural forests\, ancestral land\, and water. \nIn many of his films\, Ressler documents the assemblies and working group meetings of global climate activists – a mix that includes artists and poets. These dynamic gatherings serve as crucibles of discussion\, where the participants deliberate on the methods and objectives that will guide their collective struggle for a future that transcends mere survival. “Barricade Cultures for the Future” and “Overturn the Present\, Barricade the Future\,” presented in the exhibition\, feature activists with a background as artists and cultural workers questioning the widespread habit of treating “art” and “activism” as separate categories\, when in practice\, they often overlap and influence each other. \nRessler’s graphic works passionately advocate for immediate action. In the series of drawings titled “Contours of the Coming World\,” presented in the exhibition\, the artist intertwines his visionary depictions of everyday activities aimed at safeguarding the environment with the practices he has witnessed and actively engaged in alongside activists from around the globe. These illustrations serve as a bridge between his imaginative insights and the tangible realities of environmental activism. \nFor more information please see A Life Worth Surviving For. \nA Life Worth Surviving For is organized by independent curator Olga Kopenkina \nJames Gallery for Art & Collaborative Inquiry Curator/Head: Katherine Carl \nExhibition Installation Production: LanningSmith \nThis exhibition made possible in part with support from the Austrian Cultural Forum. With thanks to SPCUNY and Earth and Environmental Studies Program\, CUNY Graduate Center.
