The artist Pinar Yoldas will talk about current findings of scientific research about biofilms with microbiologist Regine Hengge against the background of her exhibition “An Ecosystem of Excess” as well as new ecosystems in the oceans of the world. Moderated by the art historian Ingeborg Reichle, they will discuss the future development of our marine ecosystems which are polluted by plastic garbage.

Together with this talk we will celebrate the book launch of the catalogue that was published by Schering Stiftung with the publisher argobooks on the occasion of Pinar Yoldas’s exhibition “An Ecosystem of Excess”. Yet another reason to come on Sunday, 4 May 2014 is to see the exhibition between 12 noon–7 p.m. for it is the last chance!

The talk between artist Pinar Yoldas, Prof. Dr. Regine Hengge, Faculty of Biology – Department of Microbiology, Freie Universität Berlin, and PD Dr. Ingeborg Reichle, Humboldt-University Berlin will be held in English.
