UI … NON! OUI: NN – UNION!
Regionale at Projektraum M54
29.11.2025 – 28.12.2025
This year, the exhibition by Visarte Region Basel within the framework of the Regionale is dedicated to concepts of cooperation and the reasons that speak for them. The exhibition will feature performances, actions, and a “Matinée Visionnaire.” It is curated by Jakob Dietrich and Axel Töpfer (Visarte Region Basel).
The exhibition positions itself as a plea for exchange, collaboration, complicity, solidarity, division of labor, and care. As encouragement. As safety. In refusal. In the swarm. In sisterhood with the audience. Repeatability as an attitude. Form alliances!

WORKWORKWORK: Dimensions of To Do’s
29.11.25 – 4.1.26
EXHIBITION: Gin Bahc/Ernst Baumgartner, Paula Beck, Daniela Brugger, Géraldine Honauer, Nora Lune, Linda Luv, Celia & Nathalie Sidler, Unofficial Hiking Society AG (Ozan Güngör, Maria Maddalena Lenzi, Catherin Schöberl, Nika Timashkova and Faina Yunusova), and Sophie Yerly
PROGRAM: Alessia Conidi, Patricia Huijnen, Sophie Wohlgemuth, Netzwerk art+care
The Ausstellungsraum Klingental becomes a multilayered laboratory for the myths and inequalities surrounding work. What is socially recognized as “work” remains a polarizing issue— inherited wealth, precarious working conditions, unpaid care work, unequal distribution of (free) time and “to-dos,” as well as neoliberal ideas of diligence and laziness, all intersect within the debate.
In WORKWORKWORK: Dimensions of To Do’s, the artistic positions critically engage with exhaustion, digitalized labor, care work, pregnancy, ecological care, and fair compensation— revealing a systemic critique that does not spare the artistic field itself.
Curated by Sascia Bailer and Karin Lustenberger
With accompanying support by Flavia Spichtig, Board of Ausstellungsraum Klingental
Further information can be found in the exhibition leaflet here.
The Regionale art exhibition is a cross-border project in which 18 institutions from three countries (CH, D, F) present artistic positions from the Basel region and the tri-national area (Northwestern Switzerland, South Baden, Alsace) at the end of each year. The Regionale is open to all artists from the tri-border region who were able to apply for participation from mid-April to the end of June. For the participating curators and the public, the Regionale offers an opportunity to gain an overview of current artistic production and to discover new artists.

REGIONALE 26: One Space – Three Regions – Three Artistic Languages – One Collaboration
30.11.2025 – 4.1.2026
Gerda Maise is organizing and curating Regionale 26 at FABRIKculture this year. Each artist has the opportunity to present his or her artistic work in one of the subspaces defined by three mobile corner elements, and to do so on all three levels: hanging, laying, placing. The spatial arrangement consists of three freely defined fields in which one can play with one’s own artistic language. At the same time, connections can be created to the other individual playing fields in the room and in the in-between spaces. The intention is, on the one hand, to pose the question of what art is and how it should appear in the exchange between artists and with the audience. On the other hand, it is about dialogue in the greatest possible freedom between the different artistic languages, ideas and worldviews of the three regions of France, Germany and Switzerland.

The Regionale is a cross-border cooperation between 20 institutions in Germany, France and Switzerland, focusing on contemporary art in the tri-border region around Basel.

Protoplast are our guests, whose artefacts haunt the glass cube of ANNAHME like genies from a bottle: a pictorial overgrowth of combat operations, machine ghosts and chimeras.
The eerie creatures seem like a combination of failed Bacon, technological wreckage and nightmares – chewing gum cubism as primal pain: sweet, tough, merciless. "
- Heinke Haberland, Düsseldorf
ANNAHME Basel is delighted to present the installation ‘Wurm Drin’ by the art collective Protoplast.
Vernissage: 21 November 2025, 5–9 p.m.

In Response von shhhh
18.12.2025 – 23.1.2026
“In Response” by the collective shhhh is a living, process-oriented installation that places listening, perceiving and responding at its centre. During the opening, sound, painting and audience are interwoven through live improvisation, recording and archiving. Voices, gestures and noises merge into an evolving composition, blurring the boundaries between inside and outside, performer and observer. What happens in this moment constitutes the exhibition itself: traces of sound, image and presence remain and continue to resonate in the space. The work stays in flux – a resonant body shaped by collective attention and transformation.
In cooperation with the Institute Art Gender Nature, Academy of Art and Design Basel FHNW, the DOCK spaces are once again made available to students this year. The shhhh collective, consisting of the students Benjamin Kaczor, Amelia Mroczkowska, Thalles Piaget and Lea Pusch, is creating the exhibition “In Response”.

Thu/Fri: 11:00 – 18:00
Sat: 14:00 – 18:00
Loops opens a space of perception in which nature, time, and experience enter into a dense interplay. Katharina Kemmerling and Kris Markiewicz create a multilayered narrative in which moving landscape images, soundscapes, and sculptural forms oscillate between digital reproduction and analog painting. Markiewicz, as a painter deeply rooted in the landscape of the Basel region, collects impressions of light, color, and movement on site and translates them into painted scenes that shift between memory and staging. Kemmerling complements the work through subtly placed installations, sculptural objects, and sound spaces that expand the physical environment and deepen the visitors’ perception.
The exhibition also unfolds in an extended dialogue. The accompanying program – with performances, readings, and sound actions by Laurie Mlodzik, Yanik Soland, and Skelt! – interweaves movement, language, and sound into additional layers of perception, allowing the exhibition to be experienced as a living cycle. It remains a space for reflection, inviting visitors to rethink notions of naturalness, artificiality, and human projection.

Ultra Regio
30.11 – 27.2.25
Opening
Sun, 30.11.25, 14:00 – 17:00
Group exhibition with Wenhao He, Lizz Keller, Rose Le Goff, Arbesa Musa, Anaïs Strübin, Ramiro Oller, Ye Qian, Ayumi Tomita, Noémie Vidonne, Tabea Wasserfall, and Linus Weber as part of Regionale 26.
In the group exhibition Ultra Regio, we are excited to present new paintings, drawings, and sculptures by artists Wenhao He, Lizz Keller, Rose Le Goff, Arbesa Musa, Anaïs Strübin, Ramiro Oller, Ye Qian, Ayumi Tomita, Noémie Vidonne, Tabea Wasserfall, and Linus Weber. The exhibition marks the first time in 16 years that Kunstverein SALTS joins the Regionale program.
City SALTS – located in the premises of a former butchery near the Birskopf, set around a riverside garden at the city’s edge on the cantonal border – has long encouraged artists to respond directly to its hybrid structures. The Regionale offers a chance to look closely at our immediate surroundings and to share a glimpse of the artistic energy circulating through the local tri-border region.

Hunter Longe
30.11.25 – 3.3.26
First solo show of the US–Swiss artist in Basel
Incorporating drawing, video, sculpture, sound, and installation, Hunter Longe’s work explores the properties and transformations of the materials it employs. His pieces often include actual elements from the distant past, yet anachronistically evoke time slips and possible futures through their unusual material combinations and speculative character.
Hunter Longe was born in California in 1985 and currently lives and works in Geneva, Switzerland.
