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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Thomas Feuerstein \u2013 METABOLICA<\/strong><br>18.09.2025 \u2013 01.02.2026<br>Museumquartier, MQ Freiraum<br>Museumsplatz 1<br>1070 Vienna<br><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mqw.at\">https:\/\/www.mqw.at<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>18.09.2025 \u2013 01.02.2026 With METABOLICA, Thomas Feuerstein invites us into a world that illuminates the processes of life and metabolism \u2013 from the industrial revolution to current and future developments, from the whaling industry and petrochemistry to utopian visions of biochemistry.
