Curators Yasmin Afschar and Elise Lammer are behind the No Emission No Exploitation manifesto, which seeks to put down – in the production of art and exhibitions – an approach decoupled from fossil fuel consumption, all the while promoting social justice. Their initiative aims to foster a dialogue with artists on these issues. For this talk, Afschar and Lammer teamed up with artist Vanessa Billy, whose sculpture and installation work takes a very measured approach to production through the principles of re-use; sending instructions remotely; and selecting natural materials and returning them to their place of origin after a temporary exhibition.
