FREIE UNIVERSITÄT BERLIN INSTALLATION BACK
2011
Above is the inaugural Moth Possible art installation installed at the Freie Universität Berlin’s Philology Library (aka the Berlin Brain) and throughout the university campus. The aesthetic source for the project is the architectural design of the Foster + Partners’ library.
Thirty-three translucent prints were created from the artists's drawings of lepidoptera collections at Harvard Museum of Comparative Zoology and the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin. The graphics include scientific models of Neuroscience and the Psychology of Aesthetics created by 84 international scientists working with the Freie Universität Berlin. This research is integral to the project's metaphors of Brain + Metamorphosis.
Moth Possible opened for an audience of over a thousand students and guests for Berlin's Long Night of the Sciences citywide event. The US Embassy Berlin sponsored the artist's speaking engagement. Two of the prints remain permanently installed on glass partitions of this special library.
The project was organized by Monika Schade while she served as the Director of the Philology Library. The project was also made possible by Production Assistant Agustin Perez, who helped to create these prints in Mexico.
