until 11.04. | #4591ARTatBerlin | Galerie Kewenig Berlin shows from 14. February (Opening: 13.02.) the exhibition “Arcadia! – Idiliakós” by the artists Anna Talens.
Reflections on the metaphorical meaning of cultivating nature confront us with the complex legacies of exploitation. The gardens –a form of human control over the wild– that once symbolised an idyllic return to nature now, invites lingering questions: Can Arcadia still be dreamt today?
Traditionally, idylls have represented serene, harmonious visions of nature—untouched paradises offering an idealised retreat from the complexities of human life. However, Anna Talens’ work challenges this notion, revealing the fragility and complexity inherent in both nature and human-made spaces.
Opening: Thursday, 13. February 2025, 6 – 8 pm.
Exhibition dates: Friday, 14. February until Friday, 11. April 2025
