“The climate and social change and the garbage we are all producing in our every day life will kill us and our next generations.

This is one of the big points I am dealing with in my artwork since I am a child. I was making upcycling already in my childhood. In the later 70 ies I became an visual artist transforming garbage into arts. In 2005 I started with my artproject “Come to dinner -intervention to all nations and religions” using old teabags from all over the world as basic material for my art.”

Renate Schweizer is an eco artist of the 1 st generation.

And also an social artist longing for global peace in freedom and social equality.

She “works on issues of sustainability and economics. Sustainability is understood as a principle of societal organisation considering ecological constraints while aiming at social justice. Economy is understood in a broad sense, as the organisation of human supply. In that sense, the economic organisation has a large influence on our quality of life. At the same time, it determines to what extend planetary boundaries can be respected.”

In June/ July 2017 Renate is invited to an one-month residency with exhibition in sustainability and economics at the Academy for Sufficiency in Reckenthin / Germany in collaboration with Kunst-Stoffe – Centre for re-useable Materials and Group Global 3000 in Berlin.
