The publication Future Continuous is issued as part of the Hamburg Grants for Visual Arts 2025 and the accompanying eponymous exhibition. The 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, curated by Jaana Heine, presents the works produced by the 2025 grant recipients—Francesca Bertin, Maxime Chabal, Wassili Franko, Katharina Kohl, Lila-Zoé Krauß, Nina Kuttler, Ruxin Liu, Katja Pilipenko, Sohorab Rabbey, and Kristina Savutsina—during their scholarship period, accompanied by the Kunsthaus Hamburg. Through spatial, sound, and video installations, the artists address pressing topics of our time, ranging from the from ecological interdependence and our relationship with artificial intelligence to the exploration of the history of psychiatry, intimacy, and collective care.
