Works by Plato at KiS

On June 13, 2025, 5.30 pm, KiS invites you to the vernissage of the exhibition "Plato: Photos from the island of Paros". "The camera is nothing more than a tool. What counts is the story, the message, the feeling, the connection," says the photographer, who was born Platon Antoniou in London in 1968 and has Greek roots, about his work. And: "Taking a photo is a very technical thing, but I spend 99.9 % on this connection that allows me to reach someone. And that connection opens up the chance that you [the viewer] will feel something too." In his photographs, Platon captures the personality of his subjects. He pays attention to their gaze, their hands or a particular expression on their face.
Plato also applied what is usually visible in his portraits of influential people to the people of the island of Paros, the place of his childhood. The large-format black and white photographs can be seen at KiS from June 13 to September 28, 2025.

... 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

Works by Sherrie Levine fascinate

Great interest and a large audience, good discussions and interested questions ... Sherrie Levine's works - from the grotesquely beautiful bronze figures to the monochrome works "After Yves Klein" - raise many questions. Which Florian Waldvogel also picked up on in his introduction: "The artist provokes answers, but she doesn't give them." Seen at the vernissage: KiS founding members Renate Labak with her husband Alexander and entrepreneur Christian Jäger, Daniela Lanziner Mühlberger (Chairwoman of Kunstraum Innsbruck) and Seefeld's Deputy Mayor Toni Hiltpolt (photo), curator Karin Pernegger, architect Kathrin Aste, gallery owners Bernd and Sonja Kugler, pharmacist Kurt Grass (Seefeld) with his wife and many more.

Valerie Fritz & Goran Stevanovich

The concert by Valerie Fritz and Goran Stevanovich on May 7, 2025 was once again attended by numerous members of KiS - Kunst in Seedeld with an interest in music and art in the old fire station hall in Seefeld. The duo played contemporary works, for example by Polish composer Mikolay Majkusiak (The Best Composer of the Young Generation - Fryderyk Festival 2020), and compositions from the classical-romantic repertoire, for example by Robert Schumann.

About Giovanni Segantini and life

Michael Krüger on paintings by Giovanni Segantini - that was the theme of a reading at KiS at the end of October 2024. The audience experienced the author Michael Krüger, but also the publisher, who, as the long-standing director of Carl Hanser Verlag, has followed and helped shape the German-language literary scene like no other. In conversation with Rafael Jablonka, he explored the significance of painting in all our lives. What is it about pictures that fascinates us and makes us want to spend a lifetime with them? Why do people need pictures? They are "probably what remains of us and show what we have lost forever."

On the program: PictureReading 

A big jungle party. A nest with eggs - or birds? Creatures on stilts. The children "read" Ross Bleckner's pictures in their own way - with an open mind and an alert eye. They then put their version of flowers and blossoms on paper while painting. Juliana Haider, who designed the two children's programs under the motto BilderLesen (Reading pictures) at the beginning of July 2024, also had a large box of musical instruments with her: rattles, drums, triangles, sound snakes ... everything that was needed for a loud final concert of the visit to KiS.
