Résumé:
The cultivation of house plants does not always prove to be easy. With many plants there are special peculiarities that should be considered. In 1899, the German botanist Udo Dammer wrote down his knowledge of the ins and outs of different houseplants and published the book ‘Zimmerblattpflanzen’ with 46 detailed plant illustrations. 120 years later, Benjamin Wurster accidentally came across a copy of this encyclopedia and now presents a new modern version of this book, including every plant illustration as well as the original German texts translated into English for the first time.

Résumé:
From her beginning in the mid-1960s through the early ’70s, German artist Anna Oppermann (1940–1993)—best known for her encyclopedic, immersive installations—created an astonishing series of surreal, almost psychedelic drawings that quietly explode the private space of the home, and her experience within it. These early drawings contribute to a feminist reentering of spheres traditionally associated with women, casting everyday objects as symbolic, consequential protagonists: houseplants sprawl to take over the picture plane, windows and mirrors provide views into other worlds and tables display drawings that themselves open out into new domestic scenes. By placing her own body—her knees, arms, the back of her head—as reference points in the work, Oppermann emphasizes the gendered realms of the home and the relationships that we form to our private spaces. This volume gathers these drawings and early installations in an English-language publication for the first time.

Résumé:
VisualCollect presents a small exhibition titled “Artpiece, The Story of Plant Room.” This exhibition was curated to capture the awakening of plants and their surroundings as we transition from the end of winter into the warmth of spring. It aims to convey the idea that houseplants in modern society are more than mere decorations, they are precious companions that breathe alongside our lives. Through the scenes surrounding these plants, we sought to create a harmony where nature and art blend together, and to share that process with others. From small succulents on a shelf, to climbing vines on the wall, to the bright green hues that fill window sills, each space reflects our tastes and personal stories. In this exhibition, artist Lee Su presents works that highlight vibrant color contrasts, featuring a charming grandfather dressed in raincoats as colorful as fish. These cheerful paintings lift the viewer’s mood and are all brought together in a storybook format. About the Artist Lee Su began painting after being captivated by the colorful scenery of London during his travels. He mainly works with themes of grandfathers and fish, expressing his wish to age with wit and to live a life as colorful and varied as a fish’s hues. His favorite brand is YMC, which he finds appealing for its bold use of color, and his favorite artist is David Hockney, known for his use of bright, uplifting colors.
