kunst[ ]klima

An Art space in Stuttgart with exhibitions to art & climate change & science & sustainability & nature

Upcoming

Dust, and to dust you will return

by Josephine Boger on Friday, January 24, 2025, at 7:30 PM.

A warm invitation to the exhibition! Introduction by Corinna Steimel (Art Historian, Director of the Gallery of the City of Böblingen).

The exhibition concludes with a closing event on February 14, 2025, starting at 7 PM.

The exhibition „Dust, and to dust you will return“ challenges the anthropocentric perspective that places humans above other beings in the world. A rotating spine, seemingly floating within the project space, offers only a fleeting reminder of the vitality of an animal. Additional objects complement the kinetic installation.

Exhibition Schalen with Larissa Heim

Opening on Friday, November 8, 2024 on 7:30 pm

The exhibition “Schalen” [“shells”] shows the human effect on natural environments by combining building materials with organic substances. The origin of the works lies in a garden project in which an overgrown plot of land was extensively cut back and structurally altered. What remains are the relics and findings of this intervention, which can be experienced as an expansive installation.

Larissa Heim is studying at the Academie of Fine Arts in Stuttgart with Prof. Alisa Margolis
(among others) .

The exhibition ends with a Finissage on December 6, 2024 from 7 pm.

Wet Relations

Installation and lecture performance of the exhibition on Thursday, July, 11 at 6 p.m. with Neckardrinks!

Water is not only one of the most important resources and a prerequisite for all life, it is also a connecting element. Wet Relations (concept and design by Beatrice Bucher and Sonja Schwarz) establishes an intimate and direct connection between us and the Neckar river with its interactive installation and reports on different relationships between human and non-human bodies of water in a lecture performance (read by Jana Rzehak).

The project is a format of the neckarinsel e.V. In addition to the exhibition, the association will be presenting its work.

Further program:
Friday, July 12, 2024, open from 2PM – 4PM
Saturday, July 13, 2024, 4PM-5 PM & 6PM – 7PM
Sunday, July 14, 2024, 2PM – 3PM

About
kunst [ ] klima

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.

We signed culture4climate.de's Declaration of sustainability in 2023!

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.
