The Hamburg Grants for Visual Arts provide fascinating insights into the city’s production of art and its recent developments. The final exhibition, entitled Future Continuous, presents the works produced by
the awardees of 2025 during their grant period, accompanied by the Kunsthaus Hamburg. In spatial, sound and video installations, they address pressing topics of our time, ranging from the examination of ecological interdependence or how we deal with artificial intelligence to an exploration of the history of
psychiatry and questions revolving around intimacy and collective care.
The Hamburg Ministry of Culture and Media has annually awarded ten promising Hamburg artists with this grant since 1981. In 2025, the accompanying exhibition will adopt a new focus: the emphasis will be on supporting artistic production, promoting visibility and creating fruitful relationships – among the participating artists themselves and in dialogue with external curators, authors and the public. Year upon year, this will be giving rise to new possibilities and connections well worth discovering.
Participating artists: Francesca Bertin, Maxime Chabal, Wassili Franko, Katharina Kohl, Lila-Zoé Krauß, Nina Kuttler, Ruxin Liu, Katja Pilipenko, Sohorab Rabbey, Kristina Savutsina
