"Still Life" by Michael Ziegler

12.12.2025 until 15.3.2026

Delicate, almost translucent flowers arranged in a glass or vase are a recurring motif for Austrian painter Michael Ziegler. In 2020, these watercolour paintings gave him a new approach to painting after a long break. Since then, he has returned to the theme and technique again and again. The result is an ongoing series that has now grown to several dozen paintings. Starting from "almost simple compositions" (Ziegler) in bright, matt colours, the painter lends his flower paintings both proximity and distance, intensity and fleetingness. Supplemented by examples from other Ziegler painting cycles, they unfold their effect at KiS - Kunst in Seefeld in the interplay of light and weightlessness, sketchiness and fragility - a "sensual event" for both the painter and the viewer.

Ausstellung KiS 06-09 2025; Coming Home: Greece: Monk With Folded Arms; 2007-2014; @Platon

Photo art by Platon at KiS

Photos of the island of Paros

His "portraits of power" are world-famous. Platon, actually Platon Antoniou, photographed Barack Obama, George Clooney, Bill Clinton, David Beckham, Donald Trump, Elon Musk - a who's who of international politics and showbiz. In summer 2025, KiS - Kunst in Seefeld exhibited Platon's impressive works from his series "Coming Home: Greece". For years, the photo artist travelled to his home island of Paros, where he, the son of a Greek father and a British mother, spent his childhood. He found his motifs in coffee houses, schools or churches, such as "Monk With Folded Arms" (@Platon). Platon is one of the most important portrait photographers of the present day. A highlight of the exhibition was a panel discussion with Platon, the collector and director of KiS - Kunst in Seefeld Rafael Jablonka and the Viennese gallery owner Michael Coeln at the end of August 2025.

KiS stands for art in the centre of Seefeld

The transformation of the fire station

In June 2021, the old fire station in the centre of Seefeld opened its doors for a new art experience. A partnership between the municipality and the Seefeld-based art collector couple Teresa and Rafael Jablonka makes it possible for visitors from near and far to experience contemporary art of an international calibre in the village on the Seefeld plateau.

With exhibitions that change twice a year and free admission. KiS has now developed into an artistic meeting place - not least thanks to the support association founded in 2022. The vernissages, concerts, readings and artist talks, which take place in the middle of the current exhibition, are well attended.

KiS stands for art in Seefeld - and at the same time for the presentation of works of contemporary art that can be seen in the world's major museums and galleries. Names such as Miquel Barceló, Andy Warhol, David LaChapelle and Pia Fries speak for themselves.

Contemporary art is at the centre of the twice-yearly changing exhibitions in the Alte Feuerwehrhalle in Seefeld. And works from the 20th and 21st centuries also dominate the supporting programme of concerts and readings.

We want to minimise the barrier to entry, which is why we offer free admission to our exhibitions. We also work together with schools and organise special children's programmes to awaken an interest in art at an early age.

Artistic encounters in the context of vernissages, concerts or artist talks: KiS - Kunst in Seefeld has made a name for itself as a meeting place for art lovers from near and far.

Pia Fries "thousand : one"

Works on paper and large formats

16.12.2023 – 17.03.2024

The current exhibition at KiS is dedicated to one of the internationally significant female artists of the present day. Pia Fries, born in Switzerland, lives and works in Düsseldorf. We are showing her series of works on paper tausend : einerlei and large-format works such as the four-part "schwarze blumen" - an expressive work in oil inspired by Maria Sibylla Merian's "Raupenbuch".

Exclusive experience for KiS members

Collector and initiator of KiS - Art in Seefeld Rafael Jablonka invites visitors to his Schaulager for guided tours, giving art enthusiasts the opportunity to take a tour through parts of his collection of important works of contemporary art. These include works by Eric Fischl, Sherrie Levine, Mike Kelley, Jasper Johns and Richard Avedon (see photo). The premises are not open to the public and the guided tours are currently organised exclusively for members of KiS - Verein zur Förderung zeitgenössischer Kunst in Seefeld.

Finissage on 23 March

The aim of our KiS association, founded in 2022, is to "promote contemporary art in Seefeld". We want to do justice to this not only with our exhibitions, but also with various events. KiS initiator Rafael Jablonka and Florian Waldvogel, Head of the Art History Collections from 1900 onwards at the Tyrolean Provincial Museum, meet for a discussion with the artist of the current exhibition, Pia Fries, at a finissage. The exhibition tausend : einerlei runs until Sunday, 17 March, and we invite you to the finissage on 23 March at 5 pm. We look forward to your registration.

Art meeting point in Seefeld

Vernissage of the current exhibition

After the opening of the sixth KiS - Art in Seefeld exhibition, it is safe to say that Seefeld is making a name for itself among art lovers. Around 80 guests from near and far came to meet the Swiss artist Pia Fries (2nd from right) and see her works, which Friedhelm Mennekes (right) described vividly in his introduction. Teresa and Rafael Jablonka made this initiative possible with their art and commitment. We welcomed 113 visitors to the exhibition during the extended "Christmas Opening" from 28 December 2023 to New Year's Sunday alone.
