Related solo exhibitions by Katharina Grosse, Karl Horst Hödicke, and Johannes Kahrs round out the Berlin kommt nach Niedersachsen series. In their respective ways, these presentations demonstrate how urban life, science, and nature have come to be incorporated into the practice of artists closely associated with the city. Innumerable artists have chosen Berlin as their home, as the comparably low rent and spacious studio opportunities in a central location offer immense production possibilities. The intent of Berlin kommt nach Niedersachsen is to demonstrate Berlin's fertile ground for artistic production.
