Artist Lecture: Susanne Kriemann

KunstHausWien
Untere Weißgerberstraße 13
1030 Wien
Susanne Kriemann’s practice is informed by an expansive notion of the photographic document, which understands the environment like a photographic device that records the impacts of human activity. Her interest in the long-term effects of human interventions in the environment has led her to devote several of her projects to the ecosystem of the forest, be it the old growth forests in the Carpathian Mountains or the intertidal mangroves.
Using these works as a starting point, Susanne Kriemann will present her photographic practice and the methodologies she has developed in her projects.
An event as part of the exhibition Into the Woods at KunstHausWien.

Die letzten wilden Flüsse der Alpen sind in Gefahr, insbesondere in Tirol steht die Wasserkraft kurz vor dem Totalausbau. Der Filmemacher Harry Putz erkundet in seinem Dokumentarfilm das naturbelassene hochalpine Platzertal, das nach den Plänen des Tiroler Landesenergieversorgers TIWAG zu einem Speichersee aufgestaut werden soll. Der Film zeigt den Widerstand gegen den geplanten Ausbau des Kraftwerks Kaunertal auf, gibt Einblicke in die Wasserkraft in Tirol und stellt die Frage: Machen wir alles richtig in der Energiewende?
In einer anschließenden Podiumsdiskussion mit Regisseur, Expert:innen und Aktivist:innen, greifen wir den Klima-, Umwelt- und Moorschutz in Österreich, sowie die Wende zu nachhaltiger Energie auf

MAK – Museum für angewandte Kunst
Stubenring 5
1010 Wien
Opening of the exhibition CRITICAL CONSUMPTION
Micro trends, fashion giants releasing dozens of new collections every year, precarious conditions for textile workers, luxury brands shredding unworn garments, and ecosystems being destroyed by mountains of textile waste: fashion—and the fashion industry—are increasingly coming under the spotlight for their approach to consumption, production processes, and sustainability. With the exhibition CRITICAL CONSUMPTION, the MAK is viewing with a critical eye a sector that is unrivaled in the way it drives consumption, the desire for the new, and rapid change.
For over a year, the MAK Gallery will play host to historical objects, contemporary designs, and artistic approaches that encourage us to contemplate the pressing issues of our age: “What are our clothes worth?” or “Who can afford not to shop?” Our consumption of fashion can be considered a paradigm of the mass consumption of capitalist societies in the Global North.

Regina Anzenberger: Gstettn
14
Brotfabrik Wien
Absberggasse 27
1100 Wien
At the Collector’s Room we are showing new works from the series GSTETTN by Regina Anzenberger within the frame of the first Klima Biennale Wien.
Gstettn is a place of wilderness and freedom, a plot of land waiting to be used for housing and that has been taken over by nature in the meantime. From 2017 to 2021, Regina Anzenberger set about capturing the essence of this small piece of land just behind the Anker bakery. Flats for 3000 people will be built now, where once the buildings of Europe's largest bread factory stood.
With her photographs, which are painted over, extended by drawings and augmented with found objects, the artist has captured the natural experience of Gstettn in the seven chapters Winter Flowers, Nature Planets, The Illusion of Summer, Native Grounds, The Reconquest of Nature/6 Columns, Snails and Frost. In her works, Regina blurs the boundary between object and reality and takes us on an adventure.

Käthe Hager von Strobele: Growing in the Dark
25
EIKON Schauraum
MuseumsQuartier Wien Museumsplatz 1/ 4 / 2
1070 Wien
Local houseplants are mostly imported from the eponymous tropical areas and decorate our living spaces. As silent witnesses of colonization, they are continuously multiplied and only manage to thrive because of the particularly warm temperatures inside. After careful observation, the absurdity of the term “houseplant” becomes apparent. No plant is made for a life indoors. Numerous exotic species, when treated with good care, can survive many years, as they nearly grow in the dark. What can we learn from our green housemates? How do they adapt to these inhospitable living conditions? What kind of coping mechanisms will humans require in a world that soon will be one, two or three degree Celsius hotter? Those and other questions, Käthe Hager von Strobele explores in Growing in the Dark.

Weltmuseum Wien
Neue Hofburg, Heldenplatz

Living together with camels and their close relatives shapes cultures. It is a source of livelihood for people around the world and part of their cultural identity. In a special exhibition scheduled to begin in 2024, the Weltmuseum Wien will explore the many aspects of life with dromedaries, Bactrian camels, llamas, and alpacas and will examine the effect that these animals, broadly called camelids, have had on the societies of which they are part.
Featuring films, photographs, artworks, and artefacts from the collections of the Weltmuseum Wien, several of which will be on public view for the first time, and with numerous loans from other institutions, the exhibition in six galleries narrates encounters with camelids past, present, and future.

Oliver Ressler. Dog Days Bite Back
12
Belvedere 21
Arsenalstraße 1
1030 Wien
Oliver Ressler’s artistic and activist practice is based on the conviction that social conditions are not given but rather can be changed. For around three decades, Ressler has been focusing on urgent aspects of democracy, the economy, migration, and ecology, highlighting structural causes as well as forms of resistance and possible courses of action. Making social alternatives conceivable is a central motif in his work.
The exhibition Dog Days Bite Back brings together films and photographic works from recent years that address various dimensions of the climate crisis in all its economic, political, and social complexity and intertwine them with international climate justice movements. Ressler thus emphasizes that the effects of climate collapse that can now be felt across the world are linked to systemic failures in climate policy and a long overdue paradigm shift in global economic systems.

Angelika Loderer. Soil Fictions
12
Belvedere 21
Arsenalstraße 1
1030 Wien
For her solo exhibition at Belvedere 21, Angelika Loderer is designing a site-specific installation that uses soil as the common ground, highlighting its ecological, economic, political, and cultural narratives.
An interest in the subterranean and the stories that lurk there, the tension between what is visible and what is hidden, what is ephemeral and what is permanent run like a thread through the work of sculptor Angelika Loderer. For her critical examination of the concept of sculpture with regard to form and authorship, the artist occasionally engages in a creative dialogue with non-human beings whose habitat is the earth: she uses natural caves and passages shaped by animals as molds for casting or incorporates the transformative properties of fungal mycelium to alter and shape materials. The result of this creative process gives rise to a chance-driven and posthumanist coexistence of living beings.

Heat records and extreme weather seem to be the new normal. The Paris Agreement on climate protection, signed in 2015, has de facto failed. Many countries, including Austria, have but inadequately fulfilled their promises to meet the Agreement’s requirements. Against this background, he MAK presents 25 posters on the theme of environmental pollution and climate change by graphic designer, lawyer, and political activist Klaus Staeck (* 1938) in the new format of the MAK Poster Forum.

discotec
Schleifmühlgasse 12-14

Sunlight is reflected by 150,000 motorised mirrors at Ivanpah, a concentrated solar power plant in the Mojave Desert. The spectrum of light attracts insects that scorch in the blazing heat, with temperatures in this region reaching up to 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Kathrin Stumreich examines this phenomenon by collecting ten terabytes of photo and video footage on site, observing the thermals, the blue skies and the animals’ struggles. Her multimedia installation highlights the contradiction between natural habitats and renewable energy architecture.

Dystopian situations with people standing on the edge of an abyss, landscapes devoid of humans, and deserted villages—it takes a second look to realize that these photographs depict crowds of protesters, remains of civilization-related interventions after flood disasters, or traces of fires that have ravaged forests and landscapes. These events did not take place just anywhere on the globe in the past years; they all happened in Germany.

How does light filter our perception? What do icebergs sound like? What does a printout of the chemical composition of water look like?
For her photography project From a Tongue We Are Losing, which is being presented at the Klima Biennale Wien, the artist joined a team of multidisciplinary researchers embarking on a four-month expedition to the ice of the Arctic—a vast white desert in which humans make up only a minute part of the environment.
Winants has developed special techniques to capture the unique light phenomena of this special region. She makes the data tangible and emotionally perceptible, highlighting the interdependence of ecosystems.

vanishing structures. Politics of Disappearance
41
KEX - Kunsthalle Exnergasse
Währinger Straße 59
1090 Wien
vanishing structures. Politics of Disappearance examines the issues and social, political and environmental conditions associated with the disappearance of architecture, landscapes, people and traditions. The artistic and research-based approaches brought together in the exhibition open up different perspectives on local and geopolitical issues and contexts.
In this context, disappearance refers to both gradual processes that often go unnoticed, or are only noticed by a few, and rapid upheavals that result in sudden, immediate and tangible changes. Fading, fading away and disappearing are considered synonymous in the context of the project and are united in vanishing structures. The concept of structure here stands for tangible arrangements such as urban space, existing systems such as the environment or economic cycles, but also for social structures or collective memories that are less tangible but nevertheless affected by the politics of disappearance.

In her Electric Shadows series, Hana Usui explores the shadowy side of nuclear energy and the reinterpretation it is currently undergoing. Although there are no operational nuclear power plants in Austria, some of the earliest ones are located in Vienna’s immediate vicinity. In her immersive installation based on the Zwentendorf plant, Usui focuses on the catastrophic consequences of a nuclear accident. Using various materials, she visually balances bipolar feelings of devastation and playfulness.

Immediate Matters
With its ‘Immediate Matters’ area of activity, the Klima Biennale Wien is turning towards radical local knowledge and the viewpoints and courses of action associated with it. Strategies from the Alpine region to the Pannonian plain, grassroots activism and community projects will open up opportunities for action that systematically address the future issues raised by the climate crisis. A network of activities, exhibitions, performances, participatory art projects, living labs and forums of encounter will stretch from the Biennale site at Nordwestbahnhof across the city’s entire urban space and offer creative,utopian, but also practical solutions. The Klima Biennale Wien is well aware of the importance and creative potential of the local art scene.

Seit 2021 untersucht das Projekt ProBACH das Potenzial aktiver sowie inaktiver Stadtbäche für stadtklimatische und sozialräumliche Verbesserungen. Angefangen bei wissenschaftlichen Grundlagen für die Reaktivierung vorhandener Stadtbäche bis zur experimentellen Umsetzung im Rahmen der Klimabiennale werden vielfältige Erfahrungen gesammelt.
Im Rahmen der Klima Biennale Wien 2024 erforscht „Wir probieren Bach“ anhand verschiedener Bachtypologien exemplarisch und experimentell Funktions- und Wirkweisen oberflächlicher Fließgewässer. Ein transdisziplinäres Rahmenprogramm begleitet die Installation und ermöglicht eine Zusammenarbeit von Forscher*innen und Besucher*innen. Diese leisten mit „Wir probieren Bach“ einen wichtigen gemeinsamen Beitrag zur Wissensproduktion und zum Verständnis urbaner Bachläufe.

Design with a Purpose
2
Festivalareal Nordwestbahnhof
Nordwestbahnstraße 16
1200 Wien
Design plays a crucial role in the functioning of our consumer society. But the work of designers can also be a key to an ecologically and socially sustainable way of life. DESIGN WITH A PURPOSE shows examples of how design can take responsibility, even though it is a tool that was developed in the course of destroying the planet.
The objects and projects presented by DESIGN WITH A PURPOSE create ways to value materials, energy, and humans without relying on exploitation. They tell stories and create relationships instead of promoting superficial consumption. And they challenge existing systems with fresh solutions – all without losing sight of aesthetics and functionality.

Songs for the Changing Seasons
2
Festivalareal Nordwestbahnhof
Nordwestbahnstraße 16
1200 Wien
Songs for the Changing Seasons brings together an international group of artists to reflect on the myriad ways, at once concrete and poetic, in which art is addressing the realities, effects and consequences of planetary transformation. Songs for the Changing Seasons considers forms of love, attention, repair and grief that meet with ecological challenges and damages. Assuming environmental transformation as a reality, the exhibition looks at where, when and how trouble is felt and expressed, and how art offers vital ways to articulate, interpret and cope with this trouble.

Klima Biennale Pavilion
1
KunstHausWien
Untere Weißgerberstraße 13
1030 Wien
The "Climate Biennale Pavilion" invites visitors to an open exchange of ideas and to linger. It is a meeting place, a starting point for many of the programme's events and a place for discussion: this is where climate culture is discussed, negotiated and practised. A weatherproof textile roof makes it possible to use the open pavilion even in bad weather for small events (about 100 people) such as discussions or performances. The pavilion is not an enclosed space, but comes into contact with the existing courtyard, embedding itself in the existing vegetation and allowing it to be experienced from a new perspective.
The existing vegetation in the courtyard of KunstHausWien, which runs along the edge of the perimeter walls in planting beds, is complemented and extended by a dense, forest-like underplanting. This densification increases the climatic performance, which enhances the quality of the stay, especially for events in early summer.
The wooden pavilion is a reuse of part of the Climate Culture Pavilion that was built by the Breathe Earth Collective in Graz in 2021. The installation has already successfully provided important impulses for climate culture. The concept of reusing an existing wooden structure plays a key role in the context of a sustainable climate debate.

Um die drängenden Zukunftsfragen konkret und wirkungsvoll angehen zu können, braucht es ganzheitliche Herangehensweisen. In der künftigen „Wiener Schule für Kunst und Nachhaltigkeit“ wollen wir über künstlerisches Arbeiten mit der Methode der ARTIZIPATION einen Transformationsprozess von einer linearen Denk- und Handlungsweise zu einer zirkulären erproben und so einen dauerhaften Prozess hin zu ökologisch, ökonomisch und sozial nachhaltigem Handeln anregen.

KunstHausWien
Untere Weißgerberstraße 13

In association with Klima Biennale Wien, KUNST HAUS WIEN presents a comprehensive group exhibition on one of the world’s most vital ecosystems: the forest. Sixteen contemporary artistic positions reflect on the forest as a habitat, its ecological processes, as well as the threats it faces.
More than ever, the world’s forests have become monuments to the imbalances found on our planet. Forests filter water and air, and supply resources and food. As habitats for the majority of terrestrial animals, forests are beneficial to human health, and, as vital carbon stores, help stabilize the planet’s climate. Logging and the profit-oriented exploitation of woodlands are accelerating the ecological crisis while climate change fuels deforestation.

Because of global warming and its consequences, our gaze is increasingly directed downwards. Without the creatures under our feet, the ground would be pulled away from us. Now we want to get to know them and their fins and feelers, flagella and tentacles, bubbles and barbels! But does our attention help them? We should definitely not mess with them: From beneath you it devours! We? Those below us make that questionable to us. Because speaking of climate means giving up the fiction of being able to stay below.

In the coming decades, the oceans will either become the greatest threat to humanity - or we will make them our most powerful ally in the fight against global warming. The Blue New Deal series gives the ocean the attention it deserves. We met mangrove foresters in Kenya, fishermen in Honduras and trade unionists in Bangladesh. And we spoke to scientists from around the world, all of whom are already working to save the oceans - for a better future.
