PLASTIC WORLD

Plastic is everywhere. It permeates the present age—it is inexpensive, available virtually worldwide, and omnipresent in our daily lives. The Schirn is dedicating a major thematic exhibition to the fascinating history of plastics in fine art. “Plastic World” presents objects, assemblages, installations, films, and documentations and opens up a broad panorama of the artistic use and evaluation of plastic which reflects the societal context concerned.
