The group exhibition "Moving Plants" shows contemporary art in the Palmengarten. For six weeks, visitors will encounter film and sound works, installations, frescoes and performances by nine international artists. In a close exchange with gardeners and botanists of the Palmengarten, new site-specific productions have been created that enter into a dialogue with each other. The exhibition reflects the view on movements and choreographies of and with plants in the Palmengarten.

from 6 p.m. live-show with guests:
12. September Oxana Omelchuk & Kamilya Jubran
Equipped with VHF radios, the audience strolls through the palm garden. They are listening to “Radio Palm Fiction”, produced live and only available in the middle of the park. The programme revolves around trumpeter Paul Hübner. Even for one of the most acclaimed experimental masters of the trumpet, the first wave of pandemic regulations for musicians hit hard, with the brass guild hit hardest. No distance between trumpeter and the rest of the world seemed big enough. In order to acoustically overcome this enforced distancing, Theresa Beyer and Hannes Seidl have set out to find a new band for Paul Hübner in the pop-up radio studio. In conversations and improvisations with musicians as diverse as Elsa M’Bala, David Helbich, Kamilya Jubran and Liz Kosack, they re-access their current positions within music. Equipped with the VHF radios, the audience scattered around the garden becomes a giant group amplifier and joins in the feverish excitement of who will be in Paul Hübner’s new band.
