The installation IM TROPOSPHAEREN-LABOR gives insights into material that artist Agnes Meyer-Brandis generated under conditions of extraterrestrial realisties. The work addresses and plays with the intersections of contemporary art and rather surreal branches of science (nanotechnology, meteorology etc.). The Ernst Schering Foundation is an independent, non-profit organisation founded in 2002 by Schering AG. Its objective is to support science and culture, especially the life sciences and contemporary art.
