Eröffnung: Cold as Ice. Kälte in Kunst und Gesellschaft

In the organizer's words:

Invitation to the opening of the new exhibition Cold as Ice. Cold in art and society.

Cold means low outside temperatures as well as a lack of emotion, empathy and solidarity. In this context, cold can become an artistic means of depicting and criticizing social conditions. But what about the idea of artistically focusing on the actual state of coldness in society today? What images do international artists find in the face of the overlapping global crises we are confronted with? In the face of discrimination and destruction, lies and hatred and thus processes of desolidarization that manifest themselves along violent power hierarchies and determine our coexistence?

Ausstellungslaufzeit: 20.9.2025–15.3.2026
