Future Continuous – Hamburg Grants for Visual Arts 2025

The Hamburg Grants for Visual Arts of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg 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 recipients of 2025 during their scholarship 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 Ministry of Culture and Media Hamburg has been supporting promising Hamburg artists with these grants 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.

Alongside the exhibition a publication will be issued, published and distributed in cooperation with the internationally renowned Mousse Publishing. The catalogue contains essays by various curators and authors, texts on the artists’ new productions as well as a photo series and will be available from December 2025 via Mousse and in the Kunsthaus Hamburg shop.

The exhibition is curated by Jaana Heine.

Participating artists: Francesca Bertin, Maxime Chabal, Wassili Franko, Katharina Kohl, Lila-Zoé Krauß, Nina Kuttler, Ruxin Liu, Katja Pilipenko, Sohorab Rabbey, Kristina Savutsina
