BeeDAO is part of the 16th Triennial for Small Sculpture Fellbach

24 MAY – 28 SEPTEMBER 2025 / Alte Kelter Fellbach

The 16th Triennial for Small Sculpture Fellbach surveys the potentiality of habitat as a space of survival with sculptures and installations by more than 50 contemporary artists. It is precisely in this that all the defining themes of our present age culminate – climate change, the interconnection of analogue and digital lifeworlds, pandemics, wars and migration.

The concept of habitat delineates, as a subcategory of a biotope, the living environment of humans, animals and plants. Habitat derives from the Latin verb habitare and means, ‘he/she/it inhabits’. It is most fundamentally about a surveyable and manageable unit that is shaped by all the creatures living in it. Habitat thus offers the starting point for the Triennial to discuss our relationship to and interaction with the earth as a whole, all the more urgent in an age plagued by planetary polycrisis.

The works at display recall important historical markers and show the devastation left behind by an economy geared to continuous growth and a society oriented on prosperity and how they have changed habitats permanently. But they also show resistance to these developments and strategies for the future that are developed under the premises of cohabitation and care.
