Upcoming

Exhibition

La Caida 
by Viviana González Méndez, on Saturday, March 16, 2024.

The artist starts the thread winder at 11 am, the process of the falling stones can be seen until 11 pm. 
Introduction by Dr. Verena Jendrus at 5 pm.
The exhibition can be seen until April 5, 2024.

An installation with floating stones can be seen in the exhibition with the title La Caida. All the stones are connected to each other by a thread, which is released by a thread winder. The stones gradually fall onto a metal plate. The falling of the stones is reminiscent of the ticking of a clock; time seems to pass, to run out, possibly even the time we have available to us to herald a change for our climate. What remains is the sound of the stones, which can be heard in the space as a sound installation. Another work developed by the artist especially for the art space is a drawing created by drops of water. In this case Viviana González Méndez extends her personal space from Baden, her home in Switzerland, to Stuttgart to the river Neckar.

About kunst [ ] klima (art & climate)

The art space kunst [ ] klima is the first art space in Stuttgart to exclusively show exhibitions on the theme of climate change and sustainability.

The bracket between the terms art and climate is provided with a blank space, it opens a possible space for communication and connection, the blank space preserves openness and flexibility.

Unique exhibitions with works by artists from very different disciplines are shown, with a focus on predominantly scientific topics such as climate, weather, climate change, energy transition, plants, water, earth, earth history, biology, biochemistry, chemistry and artificial intelligence.

The focus of the exhibitions is largely on the content of a work shown and its art education. The advertisement for kunst.klima takes place primarily via digital channels (instagram, newsletter).

Lecturers are invited to complement the exhibited topics.

Team

The project space was founded by Barbara Karsch-Chaïeb in 2021. 
Caro Krebietke has been part of the team since March 2023.
Florentine Bofinger is taking care of the graphic design, she has implemented the logo and is in contact with the Conzelmann printing company (Graphischer Betrieb Bisingen), which is printing the invitation cards. For reasons of sustainability papers are used that are in stock. The tool for embossing on the respective cards was made uniquely and is used repeatedly with different inks for each card.

On culture4climate.de, in 2023 we signed the Declaration of sustainability!
