Sonderausstellung "Korallen - Farbenspiel in Kunst und Wissenschaft"
In the organizer's words:
Coral reefs are a symbol of biodiversity, but their vulnerability also makes them a warning example of the endangerment of marine habitats. Corals have always fascinated artists with their exotic colors and delicate structures.
On Friday, April 25, 2025, a special exhibition with a unique character opened at the International Maritime Museum. Title: "Corals - play of colors in art and science". On deck 1 of Kaispeicher B in HafenCity, meter-long coral reefs made of filigree handicrafts are presented alongside real corals. The central exhibit is the "Baden-Baden Satellite Reef", a coral reef crocheted by thousands of people, which is part of the worldwide Crochet Coral Reef project by Christine Wertheim and Margaret Wertheim from the Institute of Fine Arts.
The central work in the exhibition is the "Baden-Baden Satellite Reef" - a crocheted reef originally created at the Museum Frieder Burda in Germany. It is a monumental example of the power of collective action and a work of art that offers an aesthetic and communal perspective on ecological challenges.
Taxidermy and confiscated jewelry from the Museum der Natur's collection document the natural beauty, but also refer to the scientific background of the exhibition. They address the ecological significance and the endangerment of these unique organisms.
The special exhibition will be on display on deck 1 of the International Maritime Museum from 25.04.2025 to 10.08.25.
