The exhibition documents 57 projects, most of which were created in collaboration with other artists \u2013 such as Martin Breindl, G\u00fcnter Gstrein, Jeannot Schwartz, Saba Skabern\u00e8, Andrea Sodomka and G\u00fcnther Zechberger. Instead of paintings, photographs or installations in the conventional sense, the exhibition features artefacts from projects realised through artistic means, without always being immediately recognisable as art. Presented without clear authorship or explanations, they are intended to unsettle perceptions and challenge interpretations. Within the exhibition context, supplementary information is now provided to make the works accessible. Kathan\u2019s approach combines art and science, is process-oriented and invites reflection on the role of art in a changing world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bernhard Kathan \u2013 COINCIDENCES.
