Project Details
Description
An international, decentralized, and interdisciplinary research and education project initiated by the Anna Polke Stiftung.
40 years after the celebrated presentation of Sigmar Polke’s Athanor installation in the German Pavilion at the 1986 Venice Biennale, Sigmar Polke: Athanor NOW reactivates this now-iconic constellation of works with current artistic and scholarly perspectives. The program focuses on themes such as ecology, alchemy, materiality, politics, and technology.

Layman's description
Reflections in Motion is a film and live event exploring how we inherit ideas from past artists. Using a unique method called Systemic Constellations, it maps connections between memory, history, and the body. Inspired by Sigmar Polke’s 1986 Athanor, the project invites audiences to reflect on time, legacy, and perception.
