Press Release
Tomás Saraceno (b. 1973, San Miguel de Tucumán, Argentina) bridges art, architecture, and science to imagine possible eco-social futures. This new exhibition brings together two central strands of Saraceno’s long-term research – Aerocene and Arachnophilia – alongside a new commission developed in close collaboration with the Indigenous communities of Las Salinas Grandes in northern Argentina. Their ongoing struggle against lithium extraction, and the pressure it places on the region’s water cycles, becomes the starting point for an artwork that reaches beyond the exhibition space. At Haus der Kunst, these ideas materialise in air-fuelled sculptures, shared multispecies habitats, and spatial environments that invite new forms of attention. The exhibition transforms the building into a space for planetary attunement, inviting visitors to inhabit the museum differently.
Curated by Sarah Johanna Theurer and Andrea Lissoni.
