The Biennale’s headquarters are to be located at KunstHausWien, which is currently undergoing the final stages of its major sustainable refurbishment. Into the Woods is the group exhibition curated by Sophie Haslinger for the first Klima Biennale Wien; it is devoted to one of the most important ecosystems of our time. On two floors of the Museum, 16 contemporary artistic positions explore humankind’s impact on the state of the forests and their destruction, but also the collective and symbiotic effects of the forest ecosystem. The Garage Project Space is home to modular workspaces with repair cafés and workshops. The Inner Courtyard is to be given a temporary and sustainably built event space for talks, performances, concerts and community meetings. In keeping with the principles of re-use and upcycling, the Climate Culture Pavilion designed by the Breathe Earth Collective for the 2020 Year of Culture in Graz is to be repurposed for the Klima Biennale Wien. What’s more, in June, KunstHausWien will also be hosting the first Vienna Climate Summit, a new type of interactive symposium format aimed at the school and extracurricular education community, with workshops as well as scientific and artistic initiatives.
