Mission

Long term art thinking

As human we are short term thinkers all the way between birth and death.

In 2022 the Swedish government inspired long term thinking by a time line of 100 000 years for a final disposal of nuclear waste.
What about becoming a Long Term Art Thinker?

We want to go for that and start with a creative time line of 100 000 years back in time.
Be our guest to imagine that and take also the next step.

Force

Our mission is unthinkable without our Climate Club™ as a nonprofit organisation for open minded Long Term Art Thinkers:
people,
institutions,
companies,
art managers and
art dealers who want to support ecological choices in the art process.

The Climate Club™ is communicating Good News and important experiences in the fields of art processes as well as events and calls which are corresponding to this profile.

Tools

Some tools for Long Term Art Thinkers.

Percipi

Esse Est Percipi (To be is to be perceived). This idea of the Irish philosopher Berkeley was the inspiration and in 2012 the publishing house Percipi ™ was established.
One year later Percipi edited the first art book “The Last Stop” launched by Taoiseach Enda Kenny, the Irish Prime Minister. From the beginning Percipi published one book a year in a limited edition with no reprint.

A Nordic Ecolabel for Art

Artistic expressions can be realised in different ways with different materials, tolls, logistics and energies.

There is always a choice as long as human fantasy and creativity are alive and not limited.

Ecologically motivated active choices make messages more trustworthy.

A Nordic Ecolabel for Art

Who

Who is who?

Navigation

Navigating the complex art market needs questions and tools which we are developing and offering for Nordic Green Art™.

A Nordic Ecolabel for Art

Nordic Swan is a ecolabel created and accepted for different branches.
Developing such an ecolabel for art seems to be difficult, almost some kind of a mission impossible.

But why?
Because there is a confusion about what ecological art can and should be.
The biggest problem occurs when mixing the expression and message of an art work with the art process.

If
we put focus on only the art process it will be a little bit more easy to get clearance. But this leads of course to other questions which can become much more provocating:

Can an art work which has no ecological message but is created in an ecological art process get the label?
At the other side: Can an art work which has an ecological message and expression but is created without any practical care for our nature and planet get this label?

Difficult questions, but good tools.
This is what our vision of an ecolabel for art is about.
Asking.
