Rosemarie Trockel: A Cosmos
13 February - 7 April 2013

This exhibition is curated by Lynne Cooke and organised by the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina SofĂ­a in collaboration with the Serpentine Gallery.

A Cosmos reflects the artist's interest in creating a space for ideas to exist between different disciplines, past and present. Many of the objects and artworks, selected by Trockel in dialogue with curator Lynne Cooke, produce a context for the artist's work within other fields of inquiry, such as the natural sciences and natural history. Watercolours painted by the pioneering botanist Maria Sibylla Merian sit alongside intricate models of marine invertebrates crafted by Leopold and Rudolph Blaschka, initially used as research tools by naturalists who had no access to living specimens.
