'30% Dandelion' featuring Spencer Finch at The Kunsthaus Graz, Austria

28 February 2026

From 21 March – 8 November 2026, The Kunsthaus Graz presents '30% Dandelion' featuring Spencer Finch. The exhibition at brings together more than 25 contemporary artistic positions dedicated to the flower and its direct connection to humans: humans share 30% of their genetic material with the flower.

In the works, the viewer encounters the melancholy of a crumbling present. At the same time, they take us on a journey into the familiar, beautiful, and intoxicating aesthetics of the flower and its exuberant expression of vitality. The focus is on recurring arrival, symbiotic cooperation and farewell: poetic, political and ecological.The dandelion serves both as a model of adaptive strength and as a language spoken by all. In the spirit of floriography – the historical language of flowers – it becomes a transcultural gesture of recognition and communication: overlooked, but persistent and beautiful.

Spencer Finch is best known for his investigations into the nature of light, colour, memory and perception which manifest in light installations, watercolours, drawings, video and photographs. Compelled by what he describes as ‘the impossible desire to see oneself seeing’, Finch holds up an enchanting prism between the outer world and inner thought.
