Nature can be defined as the physical world containing all natural phenomenas and living things, including the forces and mechanisms that collectively controls and run these processes independently of human volition or intervention. Mankind has tried to master and refine these mechanisms from its very beginning.
“NATURE [of man]” presents 16 artists and researchers, from 10 countries, with projects that takes a deeper look into man´s relation to nature, and the consequences and possibilities that lies therein. The invited artists severely contributes to new artistic perspectives in general, and in particular focuses on human innovation and the challenges man faces as part of a universal coherence.
