The artists Kosen Ohtsubo and Christian Kōun Alborz Oldham share an unusual approach to ikebana and an interest in how one person enables the work of the other. Working with living material, the practices confront us with questions of being in and with this world, processes of decay, transient beauty, and the elusive nature of human control.
With “Flower Planet”, Kunstverein München presents two artists in ongoing dialog with each other that create fragile sculptures that challenge us to see the earth as a living entity and not as territory to be owned. This understanding of ecology and conceptual art practice is an urgent component in the current state of our (surrounding) world.
