Transit

On The Inside is proud to present Transit. Transit reflects on the renewal of industry in the context of climate transition, addressing the interdependent relationship between climate, industry, and prosperity. Intervening in one inevitably affects the others. This creates friction. About Rather than illustrating research outcomes, the exhibition brings contemporary art into dialogue with academic inquiry. Developed in connection with a five-year interdisciplinary research programme by the Sustainable Industry Lab, Transit stages an encounter between scientific research and artistic practice. Where research offers conceptual pathways for navigating possible futures, the artworks engage these questions through their own visual language. They introduce ambiguity, tension, and at times discomfort. A key work in the exhibition is the monumental, site-specific installation by Natascha Libbert. It consists of a spatial composition of 24 photographs, printed on paper rolls and suspended freely throughout the space. On the reverse side, facts, dilemmas, and bold ideas about the future of industry, articulated by researchers from the Sustainability Industry Lab , are presented. Positioned at the intersection of art and science, the exhibition approaches industrial transformation as a political process that demands new forms of coordination and responsibility. The artworks engage with themes such as temporality, extraction, accountability, and uneven global impact. At times they complicate the positions articulated in the research. At other moments, they reinforce them. Through film, photographic installation, and spatial compositions, Transit frames industrial renewal as a collective undertaking. Rather than offering conclusions, it invites to reflect on the pace and direction of climate transition. Transit is an initiative of the Sustainable Industry Lab (SIL), a think tank focused on future scenarios for industry.
