responsible

In times of economic crisis and dramatic climatic developments, a responsible attitude on the part of the policy-makers is desirable and even urgent if we want to avoid disastrous consequences for humankind and the world.

responsible  is operating as a person in facebook and in public with special activities. responsible has been designed as two valuable pieces of jewellery: a chain of red gold with diamonds for the woman and a lapel pin in white gold for the man.

The firts presentation to the publik was at the Kunst-
verein Mönchengladbach. Therefore she developed a mobile and variable plastic showroom to show the jewellery and the documents of all activities.

responsible will ask policy-makers from economics, politics and the environmental movement if they act responsibly. In addition they will get a photography wearing this jewellery.  These pieces are part of the installation.

In this project, Lucia Dellefant appropriates the strategies of aggressive advertising campaigns for her own. However, only a minority of those approached have reacted to the folder or the letter with any degree of seriousness; and even then only in the form of a polite refusal. Thus, for instance, some banks and rating agencies indicate that for a number of reasons, the employees ought not to wear such expensive jewellery at their place of work. The actual appeal for change and shouldering of responsibility is swept under the carpet and not even mentioned; as if the issue were merely a brief and ignorable advertising flyer.

A new project in the framework of “responsible” commenced in December 2010 with the publication of the promissory note of the Bayerischen Landesbank on the front page of the BBK newspaper “im Bilde”.  This note was made public per e-mail and by post. The artist also handed them out in an “envelope” of polyethylene to passers-by on the street in Munich which event in its turn was further propagated on Facebook. 

Dellefant was creating a poster for occupy Frankfurt. And in her exhibition at the  Römer9 in Frankfurt the visitors were allowed to take them for free.
