For his first large-scale solo presentation in Taiwan, Interwoven, Tomás Saraceno invites audiences into a movement of relations. Gathering works from more than two decades of collectively-driven artistic research, the exhibition centers convivial entanglements and modes of cohabitation that sense and think-with other forms of life.
When the Llama Drinks from the Stars and the Spider Weaves Cycles of Life, Where the Sky Touches the Earth and Time Expands Like Salt, the Sanctuary of Water Are Fair Clouds on the Horizon.
“This new exhibition brings together two central strands of Saraceno’s long-term research — Aerocene and Arachnophilia — alongside a new commission developed in close collaboration with the Indigenous communities of Las Salinas Grandes in northern Argentina. Their ongoing struggle against lithium extraction, and the pressure it places on the region’s water cycles, becomes the starting point for an artwork that reaches beyond the exhibition space.”
El Santuario del Agua (The Sanctuary of Water) is being conceived for and with the Indigenous communities of Salinas Grandes, with the support of Haus der Kunst in Munich, Germany, Aerocene Foundation, Studio Tomás Saraceno, and many others. It is carried forward by the leading role and constant presence of the 11 communities that form the Red Atacama Community of Salinas Grandes.
Tomás Saraceno’s Cloud Cities New York reveals a vision of connection across human-drawn divisions. The suspended sculpture’s iridescent forms shift over the changing light of day, reflecting travelers from every horizon, contemplating a cloudscape that unites us all.
Rising 33 metres above the banks of the Limfjord, Cloud City Aalborg is a groundbreaking, permanent sculpture, conceived as a vertical plaza at play, for and with the communities of Aalborg. This transformative artwork—accessible to more than 100 people at a time—will mark an extraordinary moment where art takes the scale of architecture to redefine social space and collective imagination.
