A gigantic pollen grain floats in the air in front of the gallery in Körnerpark. It is an oversized “plant aerosol.” The installation “Floating Pollen” brings pollen grains into macro focus – pollen circulates through the air, pollinates flowers and is inhaled by us.

Inspired by the opulent ornamentation of the neo-baroque oasis, artists Maria and Natalia Petschatnikov created decorative flower vases painted with imaginative historical motifs to take the place of the plant pots on the balustrade out front.

The performance “In a circle” reflects on our neoliberal economic system, which is geared towards pure profit maximization.

With “Creatures” artists and twin sisters Maria and Natalia Petschatnikov have developed a work marked by imagination and wit that elaborates parallels between art and science.

Peschke’s five-metre inflatable, enterable sculpture, located in the park, makes reference to Rem KolhlhaasKoolhaas’s EU Barcode. Using an image of the European volcano, the artist points to alternative ways of thinking about home, territory, and borders — to a global rather than national way of thinking — Europe as a volcano, as friction between different cultures: eruption, awakening, new ground.
