Ausstellung KiS 06-09 2025; Coming Home: Greece: Three Girls; 2004-2014; @Platon

Reading pictures – Platon

... for children from 9 to 11 years old

Black and white are the two colors of the new photo exhibition - or can the world of light and shadow also be colorful? Is the old lady's hat really red? Are her eyes green-blue? Can you actually smell colors? And can a picture sound sad?
On this day, we will find out together what stories faces tell us, what is visible and what can become visible. We will embark on an exciting journey into the world of black and white photography and try to read the images. With a dose of imagination and a suitcase full of words, we will invent stories, let the portraits speak and the pictures come alive and become audible.
Your parents, grandparents, aunts or uncles are members of KiS and you are between 9 and 11 years old? Then take part in the "Reading pictures" workshop on 30.7.2025 at 10:30 or 14:00! Registration under office@kunstinseefeld.at

Ausstellung KiS 06-09 2025; Coming Home: Greece: Monk With Folded Arms; 2007-2014; @Platon

From June 13, 2025 at KiS - photographic art by Platon

Pictures from the of the island of Paros

His "portraits of power" are world-famous. Platon, actually Platon Antoniou, photographed Barack Obama, George Clooney, Bill Clinton, David Beckham, Donald Trump, Elon Musk - a who's who of international politics and showbiz. The upcoming exhibition at KiS - Kunst in Seefeld shows Platon's impressive works from his series Coming Home: Greece. For years, the photo artist traveled to his home island of Paros, where he, the son of a Greek father and a British mother, spent his childhood. He found his motifs in coffee houses, schools or churches, such as "Monk With Folded Arms" (@Platon). Platon is one of the most important portrait photographers of our time - and Rafael Jablonka will be showing works from his collection at the Alte Feuerwehrhalle in Seefeld from June 13.

KiS stands for art in the center of Seefeld

The transformation of the fire station

In June 2021, the old fire station in the center of Seefeld opened its doors for a new art experience. A cooperation between the municipality and the Seefeld-based art collector couple Teresa and Rafael Jablonka makes it possible for visitors from near and far to experience contemporary art of an international standard in the village on the Seefeld plateau.

With exhibitions that change twice a year and free admission. KiS has now developed into an artistic meeting place - not least thanks to the association founded in 2022. The vernissages, concerts, readings and artist talks, which take place in the middle of the current exhibition, are well attended.

KiS stands for art in Seefeld - and at the same time for the presentation of works of contemporary art that can be seen in the world's major museums and galleries. Names such as Miquel Barceló, Andy Warhol, David LaChapelle and Pia Fries speak for themselves.

Contemporary art is the focus of the exhibitions in the Alte Feuerwehrhalle in Seefeld, which change twice a year. And works from the 20th and 21st centuries also dominate the supporting program of concerts and readings.

We want to keep the barrier to entry as low as possible, which is why we offer free admission to our exhibitions. We also work together with schools and organize special children's programmes to awaken an interest in art at an early age.

Artistic encounters at vernissages, concerts or artist talks: KiS - Kunst in Seefeld has made a name for itself as a meeting place for art lovers from near and far.

The current exhibition at KiS is dedicated to one of today's internationally renowned female artists. Pia Fries, born in Switzerland, lives and works in Düsseldorf. We are showing her series of works on paper tausend : einerlei and large-format works such as the four-part "schwarze blumen" - an expressive work in oil inspired by Maria Sibylla Merian's "Raupenbuch".

Exclusive experience for KiS members

Collector and initiator of KiS - Art in Seefeld Rafael Jablonka invites visitors to his Schaulager (picture store) for guided tours of his collection of important works of contemporary art. These include works by Eric Fischl, Sherrie Levine, Mike Kelley, Jasper Johns and Richard Avedon (see photo). The premises are not open to the public and the guided tours are currently organized exclusively for members of KiS - Verein zur Förderung zeitgenössischer Kunst in Seefeld.

Finissage on March 23

The aim of our KiS association, founded in 2022, is to "promote contemporary art in Seefeld". We want to do justice to this not only with our exhibitions, but also with various events. KiS initiator Rafael Jablonka and Florian Waldvogel, Head of the Art History Collections from 1900 onwards at the Tyrolean Provincial Museum, will be talking to the artist of the current exhibition, Pia Fries, at a finissage. The exhibition tausend : einerlei runs until Sunday, March 17, and we invite you to the finissage on March 23 at 5 pm. We look forward to your registration.

Art meeting point in Seefeld

Vernissage of the current exhibition

After the opening of the sixth KiS - Art in Seefeld exhibition, we can say that Seefeld is making a name for itself among art lovers. Around 80 guests from near and far came to meet the Swiss artist Pia Fries (2nd from right) and see her works, which Friedhelm Mennekes (right) described in vivid detail in his introduction. Teresa and Rafael Jablonka made this initiative possible with their art and commitment. We welcomed 113 visitors to the exhibition during the extended "Christmas Opening" from 28.12.2023 to New Year's Sunday alone.
