'Climate as an Artifact', curated by the Satellietgroep

Climate as Artifact was an exhibition program that targeted at how redefining climate as a cultural artifact through artistic practice helps us to break free from conventional attitudes in order to establish new and essential perspectives. Climate as Artifact brought together artists, designers, scientists and society to rethink our perceptions of culture and nature.

Now that people all around the world are slowly starting to rethink how people and planet are interrelated, new questions arise around the understanding of time and the perception of place. It’s not merely a technical or political challenge that we are facing. It’s a cultural one.

During her artist-in-residency with Satellietgroep for Climate as Artifact, Masha Ru focused on exploring the possibility of engagement with local clay and archaeological ceramics artifacts from the area of The Hague, with local experts. Dialogue formed the core of this research. During tastings and performances, she investigated how people react to physical contact with different types of clay and artifacts.
