Pictures from the 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. The upcoming exhibition at KiS - Kunst in Seefeld shows Platon's impressive works from his series Coming Home: Greece. For years, the photo artist traveled 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 our time - and Rafael Jablonka will be showing works from his collection at the Alte Feuerwehrhalle in Seefeld from June 13.

New exhibition from June 13, 2025

KiS stands for art in the center of Seefeld

The transformation of the fire station

In June 2021, the old fire station in the center of Seefeld opened its doors for a new art experience. A cooperation 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 standard 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 association founded in 2022. The vernissages, concerts, readings and artist talks, which take place in the middle of the current exhibition, are well attended. 

Ausstellung David LaChapelle in Seefeld

International level

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.

Zeitgenössische Kunst in Seefeld

Contemporary art

Contemporary art is the focus of the exhibitions in the Alte Feuerwehrhalle in Seefeld, which change twice a year. And works from the 20th and 21st centuries also dominate the supporting program of concerts and readings.

Art meeting point in Seefeld

Vernissage of the current exhibition

After the opening of the sixth KiS - Art in Seefeld exhibition, we can 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 in vivid detail 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 28.12.2023 to New Year's Sunday alone.
