Passage Art presents an exhibition of contemporary painting and sculpture exploring botanical and forest-related motifs at Villa Schöningen. Set within the historic park landscape of Potsdam, a multifaceted dialogue unfolds between art, nature and space.

Rather than viewing the forest and nature merely as motifs, the exhibition considers them as cultural constructs and surfaces for projection. The interplay of contemporary works and selected pieces from the Döpfner Collection brings diverse artistic approaches into relation with one another. By inviting external curators, Passage Art opens up a new perspective that expands the Villa’s programme and, in line with its mission statement, reveals new interpretations of nature, landscape and their visual traditions.
