The Mönchehaus Museum presents The Upson Girls, the first institutional solo exhibition in Lower Saxony by Frances Scholz (*1962, Washington, D.C.; lives in Cologne). Created in collaboration with nature and landscape, her cross-media work – ranging from post-abstract painting, film, and photography to glass sculpture and video installations generated from deep-learning AI Neural Radiance Fields (NeRFs) – enters into dialogue with the historic timber-frame architecture of the house, its visitors, and the surrounding forest.

The exhibition draws on Karen Barad's concept of intra-action and understands life as a network: humans, other living beings, and things do not exist independently, but as entangled relations.
