From October 06, 2022 to May 28, 2023, the Berlin-based Austrian artist Uli Aigner will present her lifelong art project One Million at the Neues Museum on the Museum Island in Berlin.

As part of the One Million project, Uli Aigner set herself the task in 2014 of turning 1,000,000 white porcelain dinner vessels with her own hands for the rest of her life. All the vessels are created in independent successive projects. Each object will be engraved with a number in the order in which it was made. In addition, an interactive data set is created on the web that records the shape and location of each vessel on a digital map of the world. With her simple and clearly shaped bowls, mugs, bowls and plates, Uli Aigner makes porcelain itself as a storage medium the subject of her artistic exploration. She sees her art project as a lifelong performance with the aim of sharpening one's sense of existence.

In the Neues Museum, Aigner's works are present at five stations as interventions in the form of various media such as film, installation and sculpture and enter into an impressive dialogue with vessels from the collection of the Museum of Prehistory and Early History. Uli Aigner thus builds a bridge between modern applied art and the design from the Stone Age, Bronze Age and Iron Age and allows visitors to participate in a completely new view of prehistoric vessel ceramics.
