Focus of the 4. Industrial Art Biennial is post-industrialisation, as it plays a crucial role in the current period of upheaval in the Antropocene. Christoph Doswald and Paolo Bianchi invited 29 artists and commissioned a large number of site specific projects, addressing issues of economic sustainability, cultural diversity, climate change, etc.. Landscapes of Desire is relying on the power of networking to overcome the boundaries of political and social borders. Artworks are sensory tools and methods to successfully challenge thought-patterns. "We need more artful thinking for a sustainable world", state the curators.
