EXHIBITIONS & NEWS

SEEDS. RECLAIMING ROOTS, SOWING FUTURES. 

10.04.2026–14.02.2027
 
Seeds are the very foundation of our life. The exhibition Seeds. Reclaiming Roots, Sowing Futures explores the multilayered meanings of seeds as a mirror of our relationship to the earth and one another. Works by fourteen international artists tell of disappearance and preservation, of loss and regeneration, of the poetic as well as political potential intrinsic to mutual concern and shared growing. The exhibition forges links between art, ecology and activism, inviting us to reflect on possible futures.

2026 Pigment prints from rendered photography, 3d-prints

This work explores seeds as carriers of past and future, translating them from biological entities into digital objects. Using photographs from the archive of a species conservation project at the Botanical Garden of the University of Vienna, the artist creates AI-supported 3D models and speculative seed hybrids.
