Kiel (re)connecting.earth: The Geneva Biennial (re)connecting.earth organized by art-werk and art4biodiversity gUG goes nomadic in Kiel, in two museums and in public space.

How is it possible to maintain a connection with other species in a technological, urban world full of visual and auditory stimuli? The «Beyond Water» edition is based on the (re)connecting.earth (02) biennial in Geneva and has developed into a nomadic version that is taking place in Kiel this year. It shows the works of 31 artists in the Stadtgalerie Kiel, the Zoologisches Museum Kiel and in public spaces.

The nomadic edition of the Swiss biennal (re)connecting.earth stops in Kiel and Schleswig-Holstein and highlights the diversity of urban ecosystems and the richness of contemporary art production with various ecological focuses. It deals with the artistic potential of using scientific knowledge to draw attention to, imagine, listen to and visualize living forms. Through the works of the selected artists and the local initiatives, the western shore of the Kieler Förde as well as the parks between the Stadtgalerie and the Zoologisches Museum become places of creativity, reflection and participation.
