In the CREATIVE CLIMATE CARE GALLERY, dedicated to this topic since 2020, the MAK will present a solo exhibition by visual artist Andreas Duscha. Titled SKY GLOW, Duscha addresses the phenomenon of light pollution and the disappearance of the night sky in a series of new photographic works.
The absence of total darkness is not only a problematic development in terms of preserving “climate beauty.” This development interferes with biodiversity and has increasingly negative influence on human chronobiology. Nocturnal darkness is therefore considered a natural or cultural asset worthy of protection, which is of considerable importance both for the way of life of numerous species and for human cultural production.

MAK CREATIVE CLIMATE CARE GALLERY
On the occasion of the thematic focus CLIMATE CARE, the MAK published a new fundamental essay by General Director Christoph Thun-Hohenstein on the climate crisis and climate care in June 2020. Both topics will also play a pivotal role at the VIENNA BIENNALE 2021. In his essay, Thun-Hohenstein highlights gravely misguided developments of industrial and digital capitalism and proposes a new mindset for climate care and overall environmental care. Artists and creatives are encouraged to consider all possible ways and means to participate in overcoming the climate crisis and the general ecological crisis and to insistently contribute to the shaping of the eco-social living conditions in the digital age.
In the context of the newly named CREATIVE CLIMATE CARE GALLERY, exhibitions concerning climate, environment, sustainability, and the contribution of design, architecture, and art will take place at the MAK.
