In the exhibition "THE EARTH DOES NOT NEED US", the international network "The Institute of Queer Ecology" (IQECO) enters into dialogue with Joseph Beuys' relevant works on ecology and the environment. Both Beuys and the IQECO see art as an ideal space to develop progressive visions of the future and to counteract climate change. Beuys, who co-founded "The Greens" in 1979, was a nature and climate conservationist from the very beginning. Half a century later, the IQECO combines Beuys' avant-garde ideas with the latest trends in queer theory.
In addition to historically significant works such as "7000 Oaks" (1982) or "Difesa della Natura" (1982) by Joseph Beuys, visitors can expect numerous new productions by the IQECO in the castle, on the castle façade and in the park. Guided tours and workshops accompany the exhibitions.
