Mika Rottenberg (*1976) is a New York-based artist who combines film, architectonic installations and interactive kinetic objects in her practice to illustrate the absurdity of the seemingly limitless escalating production of goods and commodities in our contemporary hypercapitalist world. From pearl farming and food production through to the mass manufacturing of plastic articles in China, Rottenberg humorously points to the urgent need to spare resources, to consume less and live in a more sustainable manner.

The exhibition is a cooperation with the Museum Tinguely in Basel and the Lehmbruck Museum in Duisburg.
