HEK Haus der Elektronischen Künste

There was a time when we thought that reality was stable and predictable. But today we know that the universe is a space full of possibilities in which chance plays a major role. In the “Quantum Year” 2025, the exhibition „Quantum Visions“ will be inviting us to rethink the physical world and explore the effects of quantum physics on society, philosophy, and art. In “Quantum Visions,” artists are presenting their ideas and concepts concerning a reality that is constantly changing and often contradictory.

The exhibition sees itself as a „laboratory“ in which knowledge is questioned and reinterpreted. Here, art and science meet to reflect together on the mysteries of nature and the universe.

The exhibition is being created in partnership with two European cultural institutions, the Tabakalera cultural center in San Sebastian, Spain, and the MU Hybrid Art House in Eindhoven, the Netherlands, while the Donostia International Physics Center (DIPC) in Spain, the Tekniker technology cluster in Spain, CERN in Geneva, and the Department of Quantum Physics at the University of Basel have been acquired as scientific research partners.

Artists: Libby Heaney, Joan Heemskerk, Ryoji Ikeda, Ayoung Kim, Adriana Knouf, Semiconductor, Elisa Storelli, Robi Voigt, and Z1 Studio, among others
Curators: Sabine Himmelsbach (with Monica Bello, Tabakalera, and Angelique Spaninks, MU Hybrid Art House)
