From 6.12. - new exhibition at KiS

Sherrie Levine's work deals with questions of identity and authenticity. Born in Pennsylvania in 1947, the artist began in the 1980s with reproductions of - exclusively male - artists. Her pictures "after Yves Klein" can be seen in the exhibition. In her bronzes, she also reproduced nature, such as human or animal skeletons, and falsified them through her choice of material. In many works, such as the "Three Furies" (2006) in our picture, Levine's sense of the bizarre, of slapstick-like scenes, shines through. KiS is showing "Back and Forth" by Sherrie Levine from December 6 at the Alte Feuerwehrhalle in Seefeld.

With children, concert and reading

The exhibition of flower paintings by Ross Bleckner was seen by around 700 visitors. These works are both beautiful and ambiguous. Or as Ross Bleckner himself puts it: "I have been painting flowers for a long time, but I don't see them as flowers", for him they are messengers of time and transience. The audience was thrilled that the cedag quartet's concert took place amidst these works. We had around 100 children of primary school age in attendance, some of whom created their own flower worlds. And finally, Michael Krüger's reading about Giovanni Segantini also took place in the midst of Bleckner's works.

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. 

Ausstellung David LaChapelle in Seefeld

International level

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.

Zeitgenössische Kunst in Seefeld

Contemporary art

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.

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.
