Award Winner
Micropia Art and Design Award
I am very pleased to announce that I am one of four award winners of the Micropia Art and Design Award.
The award aims to offer a platform for contemporary microbiology-related art and design. ARTIS-Micropia, the only microbe museum in the world, will curate an exhibition of art and design projects this autumn that explore relations between art and/or design, science, and microbiology. More information about the exhibition will follow in a later stage.
These artists and creations have been selected:
Expanded Self by Sonja Bäumel
Fluid Dialogues by Basse Stittgen in collaboration with microENVISION, Juan Arturo Garcia, Andrès Garcia Vidal and the House of HIV
You Are What You Eat by Maksud Ali Mondal
Mould & Dust by Vika MitrichenkoMore >
ARTIS is 186 years old and one of the 5 oldest zoos in the world. It was founded under the name Natura Artis Magistra, meaning nature is the teacher of arts and science. This makes ARTIS a unique and historic location and a thriving hub for artists. Here, art and nature have been intertwined for decades. And still today, ARTIS continues to fulfil its role as an inspirational location through collaboration with artists.
