Talk｜The day when mangoes can be picked at ARCUS

OPEN STUDIOSProgram


Climate change is an issue that dominates public discourse today. This event will consider how climate change will affect our lives from the perspectives of economics and art. Since capitalism is the ultimate cause of global warming, the problem will continue to escalate, meaning the day may come when we can pick mangoes in the garden of ARCUS Studio. In their practices, this year’s resident artists also touch upon aspects of capitalism. The talk will discuss possibilities for art in an age of capitalism and global warming.
