How many apple varieties are there? Where do wild apple trees grow? What does the freedom of apples entail? Conceptual artist Pawel Freisler and artist Antje Majewski explore the dual nature of apples as both an object of art and a reference point in discussions about the loss of biodiversity. They have been working together for a decade now, alongside other artists, activists, scientists, and researchers. Apple. An Introduction (over and over and once again) delves into philosophical questions about the origin of knowledge and the nature of objects.

ON VIEW
The museum's top floor will be transformed into an engaging installation dedicated to apples. Pawel Freisler's intricately crafted apple sculptures are shown alongside Antje Majewski's paintings of various apple varieties, inspired by the still-life tradition. The display will be developed during a year-long process, in collaboration with local artists, pomologists, and other scientists. Visitors will have the opportunity to access materials such as books, documents, films, and poems. Together, this creates an interdisciplinary collection of knowledge, shedding new light on the relationships between apples, people, and the broader ecosystem.
