Recorded presentation of In Memoriam, a memorial text reflecting on the life and legacy of the late German artist and activist, Gustav Metzger (1926-2017).

Originally commissioned by documenta 14 following Metzger's death on 1 March 2017, In Memoriam was recorded and presented for Common Guild symposium 'The Art of Gustav Metzger and Climate Activism' 3 Nov 2021 on the occasion of the appearance of Metzger's work Mobbile in Glasgow during Cop 26.

'The Art of Gustav Metzger and Climate Activism' marks the end of Mobbile’s journeying around Glasgow with an informal discussion about the work of Gustav Metzger, his call for us to ‘Remember Nature’, and the relationship between art and activism.

The discussion also included contributions from Ula Dajerling, Co-director of the Gustav Metzger Foundation, and artist and co-director of Sculpture Placement Group, Kate V Robertson.

Introduced by Dominic Paterson of the University of Glasgow.
