Natural philosophy, often viewed as a historical concept, originally referred to “all inquiries about the physical world.” While its roots trace back to ancient Greece, the quest to understand nature has likely existed as long as humans have. This project stems from a passion for art, science, and the history of human knowledge. The appeal of natural philosophy lies in its interdisciplinary approach, merging various fields that study the world around us.
Today, the essence of natural philosophy can be seen in the work of artists who explore diverse topics without the constraints of traditional scientific methods. Instead, they use artistic processes to investigate and express their findings. This exhibition features a group of artists who reimagine the concept of natural philosophy. Unlike their historical counterparts, these artists examine not only the natural world but also its social and political structures. Their art invites viewers to contribute their own perspectives, creating a dialogue that enriches the collective understanding.
