Re/Making: Ecologies of Care in Art and Cultural Heritage focuses on sustainable approaches to production, handling and exhibition of artworks and cultural artifacts. The summer school examines the comprehensive integration of ecological considerations into curatorial work and the conservation of cultural heritage. Together we will examine the various relationships between art and ecology and learn and question how the diverse ways of dealing with works of art can be conceptualized and implemented as environmentally compatible processes. This relates primarily to the creation of artworks, their preservation and maintenance, and the exhibition of these objects. The Summer School thus addresses an essential field of expertise for future curators, site managers, conservators, architects and artists. It explores the complex interrelationships between the cultural sector and ecological challenges.
