Richard Frankenberger’s oeuvre is inextricably linked with his commitment to social and cultural politics. The artist applies his boundless energy and critical sensitivity to observing the immediate rural surroundings, countering provincial thinking and behaviour with art that sets international standards and explores current discourse. Nature and landscape are perceived as social environments, which – far from idyllic glorification – become the subject of progressive examination and artistic reflection. Since the 1970s, Frankenberger has assiduously explored the tension between ecological sustainability and economic failures, both in his own work and as an initiator of artistic and scientific events. In a time shaped by climate disaster, environmental destruction, and – in the shadow of Corona – a resulting polarization between the rich and the poor, his body of work is at once lucid and relevant.
