This artistic research project inherits the name of a popular Soviet book on nature for children. The main question of the project is also simply formulated - “What is nature”? Attempts to give it an answer include a broad and contradictory spectrum of practices — from quasi-scientific speculation to ecstatic romanticism, from classical natural philosophy to new epistemologies. The project is published on forestjournal.org and is based on collaboration with fellow artists.

About M HKA / Mission Statement

The M HKA is a museum for contemporary art, film and visual culture in its widest sense. It is an open place of encounter for art, artists and the public. The M HKA aspires to play a leading role in Flanders and to extend its international profile by building upon Antwerp's avant-garde tradition. The M HKA bridges the relationship between artistic questions and wider societal issues, between the international and the regional, artists and public, tradition and innovation, reflection and presentation. Central here is the museum's collection with its ongoing acquisitions, as well as related areas of management and research.
