(Re)Search & Share offers the possibility of process-orientated artistic work on intermediate states and artistic fields of experimentation beyond the classic exhibition, which can reach the public (almost) unpackaged and without the consumption of petrol or paraffin.
The works and research of the artists in (Re)Search & Share move along self-chosen thematic strands and offer the possibility of thematic deepening, a change of perspective and the presentation of material that often cannot be made tangible for the visitors of an exhibition. This primarily refers to research processes, intermediate stages and artistic fields of experimentation.
In the long term, an online archive is also to be created that refers to questions of artistic research and deals with various forms of approach within this.
Plum tree
Sonya Schöneberger
The Berlin-based artist Sonya Schönberger draws on various media in her artistic work. In her long-term artistic research, she follows connections between plants and people, among other things – and depicts interim results. Plum Tree (work in progress) is planned over several years. The project, which is based on a plum tree on a plot in a Berlin allotment garden in the Britz district, is constantly being developed further, even while it is visible in the (Re)Search & Share showroom.
Passat passenger: Amac Garbe // Accident vehicle
Amac Garbe
Traffic accidents are often reported in the daily press with photos. There are also television programmes that report on road accidents every day for several minutes and with lots of pictures. Wrecks represent the horror of the collision in terms of injuries and fatalities. Images are often just a grotesquely gruesome staging for the reader and viewer at home. In the »Accident Cars« series, which has been running continuously since 2009, miniature cars are prepared by Amac Garbe on a scale of 1:55 and photographed on German roads. The series takes a look, without personal injury, at the widespread, thoroughly questionable and absurd accident photo categories. At the centre of the »Unfallwagen« series is a car wreck – central and destroyed.wagen
Amac Garbe is photographer. He lives and works in Dresden.
Fungal Follies
Iza Tarasewicz
The artist Iza Tarasewicz lives and works in Kolonia Koplany in north-east Poland near the border with Belarus. Her artistic installations and performances take up complex systems and their visualisation in scientific models. THE MEANS, THE MILIEU and FUNGAL FOLLIES refer to Iza Tarasewicz's many years of artistic work with principles of information transmission and survival in biological research and a performance that first took place in Antwerp in 2014.
THE MEANS THE MILIEU is the artist's first contribution to the exhibition Eine Schwalbe macht noch kein Sommer, which opens on 20/21 June. At the beginning of July, her multi-part installation THE MEANS, THE MILIEU will »grow« into the current exhibition, both figuratively and literally, as a second level with living mushroom cultures, among other things.

Harmas KGV
Nana Petzet
For many years, Hamburg-based artist Nana Petzet has focussed her artistic work on ecological issues, the preservation of biodiversity and the examination of scientific disciplines.
Since the late 1980s, she has used a methodology to explore the relationship between art and science, which she summarises under the term "Rational Scientific Art". She often collaborates on long-term projects with scientists from various disciplines.
In autumn 2020, the artistic model garden Harmas KGV was created together with the artist Nana Petzet in the Dresden allotment garden Flora 1 e. V. The artistic model garden is a long-term project, planted with rare and endangered native wild flowers and grasses, which the artist developed together with the Kunsthaus Dresden and a team of environmental and garden experts, scientific advisors and gardening enthusiasts. Among others, Transylvanian pearl grass, field man's bedstraw, knotless grass lily and pigeon scabious grow here under protection and can be observed in their growth and spreading behaviour over a longer period of time.
In 2023, Nana Petzet was awarded the HAP Grieshaber Prize by VG Bild-Kunst, one of the most important art prizes in Germany, by the jury of the Stiftung Kunstfonds for her outstanding artistic achievement.g).
