Unobtrusive, omnipresent and at the same time persistent, the dandelion adapts radically; as a flower, botanical plant, cultural symbol and aesthetic phenomenon … Entitled 30% Dandelion, the exhibition curated by Katrin Bucher Trantow and Andreja Hribernik brings together more than 35 works dedicated to the flower and its direct connection to humans – humans share about 30% of their genetic material with the flower. In the works, we encounter the melancholy of a crumbling present. At the same time, they take us on a journey into the familiar, beautiful and intoxicating aesthetics of the flower and its expression of joie de vivre. It is about recurring arrival, symbiotic cooperation and farewell: poetic, political and ecological. The dandelion functions both as a model for adaptive strength and as a language spoken by all.
