To Burn, Forest, Fire

Embark on an intuitive and sensual journey through the vastness of planetary deep time.

Katie Paterson's sensoric artwork To Burn, Forest, Fire juxtaposes the aromas of the first forest on earth with those of the last forest in the age of the climate crisis. In collaboration with scientists, she defined the aromas of forests and translated them into the form of two incense sticks. As part of collective meditation rituals at the roof garden of KunstHausWien, the incense sticks are lit and the different aromas can be experienced. Embark on an intuitive and sensual journey through the vastness of planetary deep time.

Into the Woods

Perspectives on forest ecosystems

In association with Klima Biennale Wien, KunstHausWien presents a comprehensive group exhibition on one of the world’s most vital ecosystems: the forest. Sixteen contemporary artistic positions reflect on the forest as a habitat, its ecological processes, as well as the threats it faces.
