Exhibition summary

Stormy Weather explores the complex relationship between the 'cloud' as a metaphor for the internet and its real-world infrastructural and climatic impacts. The exhibition features works by artists who engage with digital infrastructures and their tangible manifestations.

Curatorial context

The exhibition "Stormy Weather" delves into the pervasive influence of the internet's 'cloud' metaphor, examining its dual nature as an abstract, powerful digital space and a concrete reality with significant impacts on the real world and climate. It questions how artists interact with this non-human counterpart and whether the metaphors or realities of the cloud become affective carriers in their reception. Featuring works by Susanna Flock & Leonhard Müllner, Fragmentin, Stefan Karrer, Till Langschied, Marc Lee, Yein Lee, Christiane Peschek, Total Refusal, and Christoph Wachter & Mathias Jud, the exhibition surveys the field between ephemeral digital infrastructures and their material manifestations. The project is realized in cooperation with the Centre culturel suisse. Paris, where it will be shown following its run at Kunstraum Niederoesterreich.

The exhibition runs from September 24 to December 12, 2020, at Kunstraum Niederoesterreich, and from February 14 to April 18, 2021, at Centre culturel suisse. Paris. Specific program events may have separate details. Further information is available in the accompanying brochure.
