Hunting fever! Blowing the horn!
Are we still hunting, or are we already fleeing? With this paradigm shift, biopop. hinakunst. unkraut. blows the horn for the big hunt… The game is waiting!
Since the beginnings of the message salon in 1996, Urs Lehmann has been a regular presence at exhibitions and happenings at the art space, appearing for the first time under the name “biopop.” at the message salon on Rigiplatz in 2002. Evolution, biology, neurology, genetics and the diversity of creatures provided by nature, as well as the fusion of nature with artificiality in technology and science, inspire biopop’s imagination, which has found its echo in the battle cry “Free mutation for all!”. In the current exhibition, biopop. shows his latest drawings and reads his own texts.
Together with the artists Hina Strüver aka hinakunst. and Sarah Kreuter aka unkraut., biopop. blows the horn for hunting season in a multimedia room installation. The artist hinakunst. deals with the body in space in objects, installations and performances. The cultivated plant unkraut. responds to its environment with drawings, photographs, films and texts.
