Welcome to a world where science and art converge. The ARTIS-Micropia Art & Design Exhibition brings the invisible world of microbes to life through the eyes of artists from around the globe. This exhibition features four remarkable artworks, selected from 35 submissions, that push the boundaries between art, science, and society. Each piece offers a unique perspective on the impact of microbiology on our lives.
The Artworks
From 30 September, the exhibition will be open to the public, showcasing the following winning artworks:
- Fluid Dialogues – Basse Stittgen in collaboration with microENVISION, Juan Arturo Garcia, Andrès Garcia Vidal, and The House of HIV
- You Are What You Eat – Maksud Ali Mondal

About the ARTIS-Micropia Art & Design Awards
The exhibition is the result of an Open Call in 2024, where 35 international artists submitted their work for consideration. According to the jury report, the selected artworks "show a beautiful blend from the movement of bio-art." Some pieces use microbes to address deeply personal, social, and geopolitical issues, while others explore the relationship between microbes, nature, and the human body. Here, microbes are not only the subject of the artworks but also co-creators, helping to shape the artistic narrative.
