Launch of the Art/NaturSci Movement
The performative-activist art of launching the Art/NaturSci Movement by wind considers Earth's recovery from many aspects, especially the CO₂ output of shipping international art exhibitions.
Artworks from the Founding Members set sail on the AVONTUUR from Hamburg, Germany, November 2020, arriving at port of call in Douarnenez, France. The collection that traveled aboard represents the leading-edge of environmental art making, with dedication to ecosystem regeneration. Now the collection has arrived in North America, at port in the state of Maine, as we prepare for our pilot exhibition at the University of Maine in Farmington. From this fresh start, we travel sustainably to wonderful museums and venues stateside. |

Timbercoast Cargo Under Sail
We are thrilled to announce our Partnership with Captain Cornelius Bockermann and his wind powered vessel for environmentally sustainable shipping. The incomparable AVONTUUR, a 43.5 meter cargo schooner, was rescued from extinction and meticulously renovated by a worldwide, world class team of over 30 volunteers. Captain and crew voyage across the wild Atlantic to ship sustainably grown coffee and other precious cargo.
Conservative yearly estimates for conventional cargo ships' CO₂ engine emissions equal those of the entire country of Germany - and that estimate doesn't calculate for cargo ships' hazardous, heavy fuel oil pollution. Humankind’s degradation of the oceans and forests, the immediacy of the effects of weather changes, and the intimacy of the effect on us, is stunning. And the driving force for the determined action of many to meet these challenges head on. And so, Art Science Exhibits Berlin has developed the most solution based partnership with this brave sailing company offering zero carbon footprint for transport. Because when people begin to connect to beautiful answers, change can occur. |
about us
About: Art Science Exhibits Berlin is an independent enterprise created, and consistently recreated, by artists and scientists. The exhibitions and public programs we present work to greater the sphere of ArtSci conversation - towards positivity and solutions. Our mission for the future of nature-kind is to help regenerate Earth's ecosystems.
Science Collaboration: We are honored to have worked in collaboration with John D. Liu's Environmental Education Media Project on large-scale ecosystem recovery. In Germany we work with scientists at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior, and the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin, along with ETH Zurich in Switzerland. Much of the art we exhibit was created with science institutions worldwide, including: Charles Sturt University and the University of Sydney, Australia; University of Ghent, Belgium; Institut National des Sciences Appliquées Lyon, France; Goulandris Museum of Natural History, Greece; Technische Universität Berlin, Germany; Thetis Knowledge for a Better Environment, Italy; Kobe University, Japan; Alaska Sea Life Center, American Association for the Advancement of Science, Cornell University, Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University, Rutgers University, Yale University, and the US Department of Fish and Game, USA.
Projects: Previous exhibits include Bird Architecture at the Institute Library in collaboration with scientists at Yale University and the Peabody Museum of Natural History and Appealing to the Populous in partnership with Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin's Thaer-Institut of Agriculture and Horticulture, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin's historic Campus Nord Branch Biology Library, and the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin. The first Berlin project opened for Berlin Science Week 2017, with a video program that traveled as far as the Philippines.
In Spring of 2018 we presented large-scale, international exhibitions at Campus Nord Branch Library ongoing. In Fall of 2018 even larger-scale, Eco-connectivity exhibits, continued with sponsorship from our Berlin institution and foundation partners. The addition of the Erwin-Schrödinger-Zentrum Science Library expanded our range into the epicenter of one of Europe's largest science parks.
In parallel to the 2019 Venice Biennale and in partnership with the German-Italian Culture Association (ACIT) Venice - official venue for the Venice Biennale - we presented the Art/NaturSci Pavilion: Equilibrium exhibition at Palazzo Albrizzi-Capello. Exhibitions have continued in Winterthur, Switzerland and beyond.
Present: The inaugural launch of the Art/NaturSci Movement has taken place on board the AVONTUUR. The art that voyaged on board is noted in the AVONTUUR's Manifest*. This Manifest (our archive) Earth Collections is now set to travel to museums and venues in North America. With the AVONTUUR as Partner, we can influence our audiences to limit their part in the vast carbon footprint and pollution caused by shipping worldwide. Together we are working towards sustainably sailing environmental art into many mind's eyes.

Zaratin is our man on the ground in Venice. He holds a degree from Accademia di Belle Arti di Venezia. His sculptures, most often recreations of insects and their architecture, investigate mankind's fears of our natural world. This art explores the hexagonal forms of honeycombs, an architecture fully integrated into man-made environs. Zaratin's work on wasp architecture was featured at both locations of our 2017 Berlin Science Week exhibition and at our 2019 Biennale Pavilion. His installation elementi vitali #2 is in permanent exhibit at Thetis, Arsenale of Venice.
