Weather Forecast: Kent Chan’s Weather Casting at Künstlerhaus Bethanien
KÜNSTLERHAUS BETHANIEN ✳ BERLIN
THE PROGRAMME.
Kent Chan’s Weather Forecast at Künstlerhaus Bethanien centres on Weather Casting, a video of fictional weather reports and a techno-animist climate future.
Weather Forecast runs 11 September–15 November 2026 at Künstlerhaus Bethanien. It centres on Kent Chan’s video Weather Casting, which travels through Yogyakarta, Chiang Rai, Yunnan, Shanghai, Beijing, the Changbai Mountains, North Hamgyong Province and Seoul via fictional weather reports. It imagines a techno-animist future amid climate crisis, with geoengineering systems named after political cult figures and regional deities. The work draws on lo foh tong, monsoon circulations and a speculative climate mythology in which forecasting becomes a way to sense rather than produce.
