An ongoing interdisciplinary collaboration between the Academy of Fine Arts Munich, the Technical University of Munich, and Haus der Kunst München exploring astroparticle physics and art.
"We warmly invite you to Neutrinos & Dark Matter, a project developed together by the Academy of Fine Arts Munich (AdBK), the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and Haus der Kunst München. The experimental format brings together young artists from AdBK and astrophysicists from TUM in an ongoing shared process of research and exchange that began in 2025. Neutrinos & Dark Matter approaches astrophysics as a field of imagination, perception, and encounter, where scientific instruments, invisible particles, environments, and human presence come into relation. Conceived as a series of temporary interventions, the project will continue to unfold over the coming years within Open Haus (Haus der Kunst München), opening conversations around forms of knowledge, the unknown, and how we experience worlds beyond direct visibility together with the public.
