As this year’s In House: Artist in Residence at the Gropius Bau, artist and theorist Zheng Bo explores how plants practice politics. The first phase of his research is shaped by conversations with experts in anthropology, ecology and philosophy, fostering questions to be investigated in later phases.

The Gropius Bau is one of Europe’s most important exhibition venues. With its acclaimed contemporary and archaeological exhibitions, the Gropius Bau has consistently opened up new realms of experience and established its international reputation. In view of its eventful history and the variety of institutions that have been active here over the years, the Gropius Bau is organised as an open framework for addressing a broad variety of artistic modes of thinking and their social implications. Through active collaboration with contemporary artists involved the programme, creative processes are revealed, new perspectives opened up and the possibilities of the institution reflected.
