“Touch Nature: Art in the Age of the Climate” aims to encourage a shift in perspective, envisioning a mindful and sustainable relationship between humans and nature.


“Touch Nature: Art in the Age of the Climate Crisis” extends the dialogue initiated by the group exhibition “Touch Nature,” held at the Austrian Cultural Forum in 2023/24. It captures a dynamic conversation exploring the profound impact of human activity on the environment and climate. Artists delve into pressing issues like global food systems, epidemics, and the legacy of colonialism, with many drawing inspiration from nature’s restorative qualities and its role in various mythologies. Artists featured: Uli Aigner, Edward Burtynsky, Petah Coyne, Mark Dion, Ines Doujak, Titanilla Eisenhart, Michael Endlicher, TIME GATES, Peter Hauenschild, Barbara Anna Husar, Kevin King, Kitty Kino, Christiane Lohr, Yvonne Oswald, Monika Pichler, Klaus Pichler (in collaboration with Maren Jeleff and Martin Kirchmair), Margot Pilz, PRINZpod, Luisa Rabbia, Oliver Ressler, Ursula von Rydingsvard, Gregor Sailer, Marielis Seyler, Elisabeth von Samsonow, Martin Schrampf, Rebecca Smith, Betsy Weis, Nives Widauer, Laurent Ziegler and Balint Zsako.
