Eröffnung: Please Bring Rubber Boots

In the organizer's words:

Like the noise of full outdoor swimming pools or cracking icebergs. Sticky dripping water ice, artificial rain, wet feet, tears in the snow, steam, fog, pippi, waves, thirst - water touches us all.
Please Bring Rubber Boots is a conceptual art exhibition about water, the most secondary, most essential thing of all. International artists show installations, video and sound works, sculptures, photographs and performances that deal with the different facets and aggregate states of water, its beauty and its ecological and political implications.
Sea levels are rising and people are losing their homes. There is a lack of water - and yet it flows in abundance from our taps: Water is political.
In Please Bring Rubber Boots , visitors can immerse themselves in the emotional inner life of a flood pump and lick the polar ice caps. It gets cheeky, thought-provoking and wet.
