Plants have an important influence on efficiency. Artists like to be productive. For the duration of the exhibition, office plants were borrowed from advertising agencies across The Netherlands. Studies have shown that employee’s productivity jumps 15% when offices are filled with just a handful of plants. Plants help relieve stress, improve memory and enhance creativity.

By a transfer of efficiency Kunst_planten wonders how to make the exhibition space ironically efficient and commercially welcoming.

Visitors were invited to water the plants.
