Iron, polyurethane, cellophane, aluminium (green). Polistes (1990) by Panamarenko is a compact sculptural object made from iron, polyurethane, cellophane, and aluminum, measuring 13 x 50.3 x 26 cm. This green, streamlined form resembles a futuristic, miniature concept vehicle with aerodynamic curves and minimalist detailing. The name “Polistes,” referring to a genus of wasps, suggests associations with flight, agility, and bio-engineering. The work reflects Panamarenko’s ongoing fascination with the intersection of technology and nature, imagination and engineering. With its organic yet mechanical aesthetic, this piece blurs the boundary between model and machine, aligning with the artist’s broader vision of speculative invention and movement.

What is Happening?
A Happening is a term used to describe artistic and theatrical events held by artists in the 1950s and 60s. These events were typically staged in gallery installations or planned environments and often involved audience participation, along with elements like lighting, sounds, and slide projections. Happenings were a precursor to performance art, which later included the active participation of the artists themselves.
