The Austrian Cultural Forum London presents the international multimedia exhibition Touch Nature curated by Dr Sabine Fellner. Since 2021, this exhibition series has travelled to fourteen Austrian Cultural Forums around the world, including in Berlin, Budapest, Istanbul, Rome, and New York, as well as being shown in a comprehensive presentation at the Lentos Museum in Linz, Upper Austria.

We are delighted to host the final instalment of this series for which we have invited UK-based artists Claire Morgan, Jasmina Cibic and Dafna Talmor to contribute their work to over fifteen artistic positions from Austria.

Artists have long been exploring the interrelationship between humans and their environment and the fundamental and irreversible changes to our planet. The artists featured in Touch Nature take a stand against the devastating political, economic, ecological and humanitarian impact of the Anthropocene. Artists are not only documenting their grievances and formulating resistance but are also designing utopias for a more respectful approach to our environment.

The economic exploitation of landscapes, increasing soil sealing and the global repercussions of current consumer behaviour are also addressed, as are the spread of epidemics and the consequences of colonialism. In addition, the investigation encourages a change of perspective. It opens up hopeful visions for a new relationship between mankind and nature.

The exhibition features work by Alexandra Kontriner, Alfred Hruschka, Annika Eschmann, Claire Morgan, Dafna Talmor, Donya Aalipour, Elena Kristofor, Elisabeth von Samsonsow, Jasmina Cibic, Judith Wagner, Lea Liebl, Maria Belova, Maren Jeleff /Klaus Pichler, Margot Pilz, Michael Endlicher, Monika Pichler, Monica LoCascio and Oliver Ressler.

Gallery opening hours:
Monday - Friday 10am - 4pm or until 7pm when we have evening events.
