The Shop: Books, Art and Pretty Things

The artworks, the atmosphere, the joy, the interesting and the special can also be taken home – on paper. In close cooperation with the respective artist, we produce elaborate catalogs and artist books, which are as individual in form and content as the corresponding artworks themselves. You can find more details about the layout, authors and texts below under the individual title.

In keeping with the Municipal Art Collection, which specializes in multiplied art, some artists also produce graphics or multiples so that we can offer them to visitors to Kunstpalais. So far, one of a kind 3D-printed sculptures by Florian Meisenberg, a cap with LED lights by Alona Rodeh, and prints by Grace Weaver and Vivian Greven are available here.
People who like art also like to surround themselves with beautiful things, as we know from our own experience. That’s exactly the reason why Kunstpalais has a curator-curated museum store with jazzy, eye-catching, unconventional things that we’d like to own ourselves or would love to give as gifts: Jewelry made from laser-cut Plexiglas or crocheted yarn from Japan, England, and Australia, fine leather cooking aprons from the Netherlands, plant planets and gem galaxies from Denmark, special pieces of tableware and vases from ancient times – and whatever else we are able to find.
Our books, prints, and multiples can also be ordered online; everything else can be found exclusively on our store shelves in Kunstpalais until further notice. For urgent repeat orders or desires awakened via our Instagram account – we will gladly try to send you these things as well. 
Purchases with a value of up to 100 EUR will be sent to you on account within Germany. For purchase values over 100 EUR we send the good immediately after receipt of a proof of payment.

Survival of the Fittest. Nature and High Tech in Contemporary Art

The contemporary discourse around the future of humankind has increasingly come to focus on the menace that environmental degradation and climate change pose for the survival of our species. Global political movements demand an immediate ecological paradigm shift at all levels of society. Be it artificial intelligence, blockchain technology, big data, or bioengineering—the role that technology can and should play in this transformation is a matter of contentious debate. Amid a deluge of contradictory information about the state of the world and in the face of rapid technological progress, it is more and more difficult to get a firm grasp on where we stand.

The exhibition Survival of the Fittest—Nature and High Tech in Contemporary Art at Kunstpalais Erlangen showcases ten positions in art that harness photography, video, sculpture, installation, and performance to negotiate the complex interrelation between nature and advanced technology. The catalogue released in conjunction with the exhibition includes a foreword by Amely Deiss, an introduction by the curator Milena Mercer, and ten interviews with the contributing artists: Christina Agapakis, Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg, and Sissel Tolaas; Tega Brain, Julian Oliver, and Bengt Sjölen; James Bridle; Simon Denny; Anna Dumitriu and Alex May; Futurefarmers; Páll Ragnar Pálsson and Andreas Greiner; Paul Seidler, Paul Kolling, and Max Hampshire; Jonas Staal and Pinar Yoldas.
