Institut Imaginärer Inseln
November 3- December 1, 2012
Created by Studio Lukas Feireiss @ Schlesische Straße, Berlin
AusterTraum started as a research project at the House of Cultures of the World, Berlin within the larger framework of an exhibition called Ueberlebenskunst. Together with cultural scientist Birgit Schneider we started to look at the question of sustainability in art and culture. Interviews with experts such as geologists, ethnologists or cultural scientists were conducted and we also asked staff members of the House of Cultures about sustainability in art. In our research we came across the oyster as a symbol for survival and we found out that the term "ecology" was first created by a biologist who investigated oyster banks. We visited an oyster scientist at the north sea who showed us new oyster banks whith pacific oyster growing in the north sea water. This growths was only possible due to global warming which caused a warmer water temperature. The oyster and our visit in the slick of the north sea became to be a story for a very small mini book in which we presented a compendium of thoughts for the future. The book can be purchased at lostbooks (its only available in german language. )
