With METABOLICA, Thomas Feuerstein invites us into a world that illuminates the processes of life and metabolism – from the industrial revolution to current and future developments, from the whaling industry and petrochemistry to utopian visions of biochemistry. In his work, scientific methods become an artistic practice and a new aesthetic. Living organisms such as algae and bacteria become collaborators, creating both new materials and narrative levels with their metabolic processes. Feuerstein transforms the MQ Freiraum into a molecular factory that combines apparatus installations, visual works and literary elements into a multi-layered ensemble. Curated by Verena Kaspar-Eisert, the exhibition opens up new perspectives on the pressing issues of our time and impressively demonstrates how art and science can interact.
