The focus of the show High Temperature is on the possibilities of confronting the climate catastrophe through art. A variety of options will be presented in which art reacts to our planet becoming uninhabitable, such as critical analysis, provocative warning, or pointing out alternative lifestyles. In addition to current positions, “historical” works are also presented, showing that art has been reflecting climate change since the early 20th century.

In cooperation with the Landesgalerie Linz, which is exhibiting the show Weather Report. Art and Climate Change from December 6, 2012 to February 10, 2013, a catalog is being published that presents the works in both exhibitions.
