Oliver Ressler: Barricading the Ice Sheets

With Barricading the Ice Sheets, the Neue Berliner Kunstverein (n.b.k.) presents a solo exhibition by artist, filmmaker and activist Oliver Ressler. The focus is Ressler's multi-perspective approach to the climate crisis. The exhibition shows the complex interconnections of economics, politics, environment and social change and sheds light on the mechanisms and potentials of worldwide protest actions. The research project Barricading the Ice Sheets (2019-ongoing) chronicles mobilizations, activities, assemblies, and working meetings of global climate movements. In film projects, including several new productions, Ressler fans out key moments of climate justice and focuses on regional phenomena to derive insights for systematic failures in global climate politics. In doing so, he does not pursue the claim of supposed objectivity, but always reflects his position as involved participant and observer, so that documentary and artistic strategies enter into a dialogue with each other.
