Teratology

Teratology is the scientific study of abnormalities. In this exhibition, artists Anne Geene (NL, 1983) and Lana Mesić (Yugoslavia, 1987) come together around their shared interest in things that are irregular, overlooked, or don’t quite fit in.

Lana Mesić takes part in ‘Teratology’ at the invitation of Anne Geene, reflecting Geene’s interest in dialogue and exchange between artists.

Both artists collect, combine, and organize everyday objects or fragments of reality, and by doing so give attention and value to what often goes unnoticed. Their practices balance between fact and imagination, and between order and playfulness. This collaboration shows how different ways of looking can change the way weunderstand both nature and society.

Together, Geene and Mesić invite us to look at the world with fresh eyes—not for its perfect shapes, but at its irregularities, its crooked growths, its playful deviations. ‘Teratology’ highlights the beauty of the misfits and the importance of paying attention to what we might otherwise overlook.
