Tomás Saraceno's 'Ancestral Futures' Opens at Haus der Kunst Munich
The 'Tomás Saraceno in collaboration. Ancestral Futures' exhibition at Munich's Haus der Kunst represents the most extensive showcase of the Argentine artist's work in Germany. Curated by Andrea Lissoni and Sarah Johanna Theurer, the exhibition runs until February 7. It emphasizes Saraceno's partnerships with indigenous groups in Salinas Grandes, Argentina, who are combating the effects of lithium extraction on water supplies. Featured works include 'Towards the Sanctuary of Water', video projections, maps, artifacts, as well as the 'Museo Aero Solar' and 'Aerocene' sculptures, alongside spider silk architectures.
