“Cartographies of Growth” at MARTa Herford

From February 7 to June 7, 2026, MARTa Herford presents a dual exhibition dedicated to Lois Weinberger (1947–2020) and Katinka Bock (born 1976). The show explores poetic phenomena beyond human control, where materials react, spaces shift, and natural forces leave their traces both inside the museum and beyond.

This exhibition matters because it brings together two artists whose work interrogates the boundaries between human agency and natural processes, offering a contemplative space for audiences to reflect on ecological and material transformations. By staging these works within a museum context, the show challenges traditional notions of control and permanence in art, aligning with broader contemporary conversations about art's relationship to the environment.
