In the ever-changing U JUUM BÀALAM KAAB the humming of the guardian bee, artist Bärbel Rothhaar presents the two-part installation "Flugfeld*Duftfeld / Flying Field*Scent Field"–a growing pollen map of Neukölln with a beehive at its center, revealing the seasonal fluctuation of pollen, nectar, propolis, and water supplies in the immediate vicinity of bees. The map features landmarks relevant for and used by bees in navigating a changing urban landscape of buildings, streets, parks, trees, and bodies of water.

 

During Pollenwalk we will expand Rothhaar’s work through a discovery tour with the artist in the direct vicinity of Spore House. All flowering plants that we can identify will become part of the growing pollen map in the exhibition.

Please bring appropriate clothing for the weather.
