'Weaving the Cosmos' is Tomás Saraceno's first major solo exhibition in Taiwan. The exhibition invites visitors to perceive the world alongside the 'web of life', learning from the air, spiders, cloud layers, spores, seeds, dark matter, coal smoke, pollution particles, and the cosmos itself. Within immersive installations, the structures of spiders and webs, as well as the 'Flying Museum' made of recycled materials, become vessels for imagining multiple futures; simultaneously, visitors will see the results of the artist's long-term collaboration with the indigenous communities of the Salinas Grandes in northern Argentina.

This collaboration centers on ecological-social justice, learning from ancestral knowledge, and resisting the socio-political and economic structures behind the dynamics of ecological crises and resource exploitation between the global majority and minority. In this context, 'sustainability' is no longer just an abstract ideal but a coexistence topic that requires ongoing questioning, reflection, and practice.

The environmental movements that emerged in the 1970s were strongly redemptive, viewing 'nature' as something to be protected and restored, and aimed to return the world to a pristine state before industrialization. However, entering the 21st century, scholars in the humanities and social sciences have proposed the concept of the 'Anthropocene', indicating that humans are no longer merely impacting the environment but have become a geological force changing the planet. Climate, oceans, land, and life are now tightly interwoven with human history and actions. Therefore, environmental issues have shifted from prevention and repair to a more fundamental questioning: how do we coexist with this world and other life forms when we cannot return to an unpolluted world?

Some scholars suggest that our era should be called the 'Capitalocene'. This concept emphasizes that the current planetary crisis does not stem from 'all humanity' but is closely related to the capitalist system's endless pursuit of profit, growth, and resource extraction—climate change, mass species extinction, and pollution issues. This critique also challenges the imagination of 'pristine nature', noting that this view has long overlooked indigenous worldviews that people and nature have never been separate but are always interdependent.

In the exhibition route, visitors will navigate between the micro and the planetary scales—from the spatial perception of spiders to the thermodynamics of the atmosphere—sensing the invisible threads that connect our coexistence. Saraceno proposes a shift in perspective: from a capital-centric understanding to an 'Aero(s)cenic' state of perception—a way of seeing centered around the atmosphere and its interwoven entities, whether biological or non-biological.

The exhibition invites visitors into a relational field, rethinking how we interact with the world, other life forms, and matter itself through art, sensory experiences, and collective imagination. It encourages us to reflect on how every action and 'response-ability' shapes the future of our planet and guides us to learn from diverse knowledge towards a more just, ecologically aware, and interconnected coexistence like that of a planet.
