Exhibition summary

Mikrotopia features the artistic research of Franziska Baumgartner, who explores the intersection of material experimentation, process aesthetics, and scientific methodology. The exhibition presents installations, video works, and photographs that examine the self-organizing qualities of organic and inorganic matter.

Curatorial context

In 'Mikrotopia', Franziska Baumgartner continues her exploration of material transformation and self-organization. Her works are rooted in the dynamics of matter, utilizing chemical reactions, fluid viscosities, and surface tension to create emergent structures that evoke microscopic organisms and alien life forms. The exhibition features large-scale installations, video projections of fluid processes, and photographic works derived from analog experiments with ink and acrylic. Through this interdisciplinary approach, Baumgartner engages in a dialogue between art and science, questioning anthropocentric perceptions of materiality and the complex relationship between organic and artificial systems.
