Eine Annäherung an das sensible Ökosystem Wald – die Ausstellung Into the Woods der Klima Biennale Zentrale zeigt eine umfangreiche Gruppenausstellung mit sechzehn zeitgenössischen künstlerischen Positionen. Mit einer Kunstvermittlerin werden Arbeiten besprochen, welche die zentrale Rolle der Wälder unserer Erde für die Gesundheit und Stabilität unseres Planeten beleuchten. Ein Baum soll je eine Tonne Kohlenstoff kompensieren? Was birgt die illegale Abholzung in Verbindung mit „Fast Furniture“ für große Gefahren für Flora und Fauna? Diese und viele Fragen mehr werden anhand von Skulpturen aus Totholz oder Pflanzen, Videoarbeiten, immersiven VR-Installationen und beeindruckenden Fotografien von Wäldern diskutiert.

Weltmuseum Wien
Neue Hofburg, Heldenplatz
1010 Wien
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.

Workshop for Children (7 to 12 years) - On the Backs of Camels
The camel has been man's faithful companion for thousands of years and 2024 has even been declared the Year of the Camel. Here you follow the silent soles of the desert ships and all their relatives from the beach to icy heights and from the forest to the desert. You can feel their wool, listen to their "song" and uncover their secrets. You can also learn a few beauty and survival tips and find out why they will continue to be so important for us humans in the future.

Bei einem gemeinsamen Rundgang erhalten Sie Einblick in die aktuellen Ausstellungen. Es werden Zusammenhänge und Hintergründe der ausgestellten Werke erläutert.
Laure Winants (*1991) ist eine forschungsbasierte Künstlerin aus Brüssel. In ihren interdisziplinären und experimentellen Projekten erdkundet sie die Elemente, Licht und Raum. In ihren aktuellen Arbeiten verschmelzen die Grenzen von Wissenschaft und Kunst. Sie schloss sich im Rahmen einer Polarexpedition multidisziplinären Forscher*innen an und richtete ihr Künstleratelier im Herzen des arktischen Packeises ein. Laure Winants macht Daten greifbar und emotional spürbar, indem sie die gegenseitige Abhängigkeit der Ökosysteme hevorhebt und Begegnungen in übermenschlichen Zeiträumen schafft. Dabei wendet sie Techniken an, die speziell entwickelt wurden, um die optischen und leuchtenden Phänomene zu erfassen, die in dieser Region einzigartig sind.

Opening: CRITICAL CONSUMPTION

MAK – Museum für angewandte Kunst
Stubenring 5

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

KunstHausWien
Untere Weißgerberstraße 13
1030 Wien
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.

Reverse Imagining Vienna
7
Angewandte Interdisciplinary Lab
Otto Wagner-Postsparkasse, Georg-Coch-Platz 2
1010 Wien
Since 2020, the global stock of man-made mass has been higher than that of biomass. In order to gain perspectives on sustainable relationships with inanimate matter, a Gründerzeit building and the Prater Bridge over the Danube (A23) were scientifically decomposed in terms of their building materials and recomposed as literary and sculptural speculations. The result is imaginary images with a time horizon ranging from the present to geological distances.

Energy at the Threshold of the Visible World
7
Angewandte Interdisciplinary Lab
Otto Wagner-Postsparkasse, Georg-Coch-Platz 2
1010 Wien
Energy is a scientific concept, but also part of discourse, and deeply related to power structures. To borrow a term from Donna Haraway, it is part of the “natureculture” of the modern world; it can be studied historically while it is part of natural complexity, and a description of a scalar physical quantity that can be measured, transformed and transferred. Entangled in the physical and the political, thermodynamic and metabolic, geologic and corporeal, extractive and renewable, landscapes and bodies, energy remains one part of the modern world that is particularly abstract and obscure.
Visualizations of energy, past and present, are critical as they translate scientific research and data into other fields, displaying the entanglements of energy. They have the potential to become signs by bringing together the signifier, the signified and the perceiver. In such images, scientific knowledge and aesthetics go hand in hand, and energy enters the threshold of the visible world.
Indeed, already in the 7th century, Isidore of Seville suggested the entanglements of energy, when he wrote that the words color and “calor” (heat) come from the same root in his Etymologies. In the 19th century, James Clerk Maxwell’s insights on the nature of electromagnetic waves showed the difference between light and heat to be a wave’s frequency. It is possible to think about the relation between aesthetics and energy, and ask: what color is energy today, for this society and culture?
This exhibition brings together the historical visualizations of energy along with the work of artists and architects thinking about the colors, images and representations of energy.
With works by Hubert Dobler, Exikon, Barbara Kapusta, Matthias Kessler, Galo Patricio Moncayo-Asan and Michael Wang.
The exhibition was conceptualized and organized by Tülay Atak and Bernhard Sommer with Galo Patricio Mancayo-Asan, Malgorzata Sommer-Nawara, Florian Zeif, Daniil Zhiltsov, and graphic design by Annija Česka.
The exhibition has been made possible with an INTRA grant, funded by the Zentrum Fokus Forschung at the Angewandte.
