In 1981, Jean-Christophe Ammann curated the exhibition 6 Künstler aus Basel at Kunsthalle Basel, an occasion we want to make reference to in this year’s exhibition. The exhibition back then was both controversial and significant, as it offered six young artists from Basel the first opportunity to present their work within an institutional framework. Under the heading 6 Künstler aus Basel x2, the artists who participated in the historical exhibition from 1981 have been invited to exhibit in the ground floor galleries once again; on the upper floor, we will show works by six artists selected from the dossiers submitted for the Regionale 12. Although brought together under the same title, both exhibitions are to be seen as autonomous projects.
The exhibition 6 Künstler aus Basel x2 is curated by Sandra Bradvic, Roos Gortzak and Adam Szymczyk.
