No Emission No Exploitation

Talking Head with Yasmin Afschar, Vanessa Billy, Elise Lammer

Back to summary

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.
