„Alberto Giacometti, Non riesco - oder die Einsamkeit des Apfels“
Music by Matthias Ziegler. Alberto Giacometti returns to our world and reflects on the life he lived. Throughout his life, he was a deeply dissatisfied artist who saw failure as a prerequisite for success. Andres Brütsch’s latest interpretation of Alberto Giacometti’s life is a world premiere and will take place as a one-off event during Art Basel Week at filter4. We are looking forward to it.
Thu 18 June 2026. Doors open at 7pm. Performance at 8pm.
Bar service available. Capacity is limited to 200 people.

Katharina Rüll
WASTELAND
May 24 – June 14, 2026
In the exhibition “Wasteland,” FABRIKculture transforms into a surreal world. Here, classical landscape depiction meets the stylistic elements of science fiction. Inspired by the surrounding landscape—the border region between Allschwil and Hègenheim—Katharina Rüll creates a scene that invites both dreaming and reflection. For her installation, the artist uses trash collected during hikes through the border region, mostly pieces of Styrofoam. Thus, her artificial landscapes remind us of how our waste often irrevocably merges with nature. The melancholic-romantic atmosphere is both enchanting and unsettling.

Maria Netter
Mostly known as an influential Basel based Swiss art critic, Maria Netter captured the essence of exhibitions across Switzerland from the 1950s to the 1970s using her own camera. Her candid, intuitive black-and-white images go beyond documentation, offering a deeply personal view of art in space. This exhibition highlights Netter's “exhibition views,” where composition and atmosphere transcend traditional photography. Viewers will experience an immersive mise-enabyme, merging past and present in questioning how art is captured and consumed in today's image-driven world.

Portheads and Riverbeds connects local communities and international perspectives to highlight Basel’s role as a hub of trade and culture. The project brings together artists from Switzerland, Germany, England, and Sweden to explore the history of Basel’s harbor and its current situation. The project began in May 2025 with a workshop consisting of city walks and artist talks and is being developed into an exhibition format. In dialogue with port workers, activists, and artists, an exchange emerges about the social and economic repurposing of the harbor areas. Portheads and Riverbeds invites visitors and participants to reflect on their relationship to land and water, local identities, and global movements.
Curated by: Giulia Busetti, Gabriel N. Gee, Cora Piantoni, and TETI Group.

Rebgasse 10, 4058 Basel
The group exhibition «Diane, They're Still Moving» will take place from June 17 to 26, 2026,
at Rebgasse 10 in Basel and brings together 10 artistic positions spanning painting, sculpture,
video, and installation.
Inspired by David Lynch’s dystopian world in Twin Peaks and Michel Foucault’s concept of
heterotopia, the exhibition merges dystopia and localized utopia. Drawing on heterotopias
as real places that stand in opposition to all others, the exhibition seeks to open up counter-
spaces to the world in which we live and, at the same time, to question reality.
The artists’ works explore the tension between the familiar and its margins, between reality
and illusion. They invite visitors to question familiar patterns of perception and to broaden
their own gaze to include ambivalences and interspaces.

KOSTAS MAROS – Traces of Absence
You are cordially invited to the opening: Thursday, 4 June, from 6 pm
Art Basel Event: Tuesday, 16 June, from 6 pm
Closing event: Saturday, 27 June, 2 – 6 pm
Artstübli – Kunst & Kultur, Steinentorberg 28, 4051 Basel
Opening hours: Thu/Fri: 11 am – 6 pm, Sat: 2 – 6 pm
Art Basel Week: 15–20 June, daily from 11 am to 6 pm
In his exhibition Traces of Absence at Artstübli – Kunst & Kultur, Kostas Maros brings together the two photographic series Myths of Everyday Life and Cicatrice. Both bodies of work revolve around the observation that landscapes often speak most clearly through what is no longer visible. Maros’ photographs rarely depict people directly. Instead, they reveal subtle traces of human presence that have become inscribed in landscapes shaped by both everyday life and industrial intervention. Artificial light, fences, objects or precisely cut stone surfaces point to actions that have already taken place, yet remain only fragmentarily legible. Against the backdrop of the Anthropocene, landscapes appear both familiar and transformed.

Shifting Matters
21.3 – 28.6.26
What remains when everything is in motion? In the group exhibition Shifting Matters, Vanessa Billy (*1978), Maya Bringolf (*1969), Jannik Giger (*1985), and Zimoun (*1977) explore the question of how we relate to different materials, environments, and to one another in today’s world. Their works invite viewers to experience change and movement as ongoing processes that connect past and present.
The four artists each set distinct emphases: Bringolf works with assemblages made from found and recycled materials; Billy examines the connection between body and earth; Zimoun translates movement and rhythm into acoustic resonance; and Giger explores transformation through sound, gesture, and image.
Together, their works create a multilayered interplay of forms, sounds, and perceptions, in which instability, renewal, and the potential of continuous change become tangible.

„Where the Wind Blows" (2022) ist eine Dokumentation einer eintägigen Installation in einem Landhaus. Hundert weiße Laken verwandelten das alte Gebäude in ein verlassene Liegenschaft.
Der Stoff verbirgt die Beschaffenheit der Dinge und lässt nur Silhouetten und Konturen erkennen. Die Objekte, der Raum und das Licht stehen nunmehr im Mittelpunkt und werfen ein entferntes Echo von dem zurück, was man seinerzeit als ein Zuhause bezeichnet hätte.
Kurator: Pavel Kovalenko / Fotografie: Tasya Spector
Die aktuelle Installation von Asia Zaslavskaia in der ANNAHME BASEL wird mit freundlicher Unterstützung der pop/off/art gallery ermöglicht.

2026: EINVIERTELJAHRHUNDERT (A QUARTER OF A CENTURY)
Twenty-five years ago, in 2001, conceptual artist NIEL THALER founded the INVITRO project.
Through it, he has been using what has always been the city’s smallest off-space. Each year, Thaler himself realizes one or two projects in a former restaurant display window on Gerbergasse. Small in scale, yet accessible to downtown passersby around the clock, the diverse, always thematically focused exhibitions take shape. Each project starts virtually from scratch, and only the size of the installations is dictated by the venue. At invitro, the focus is on continuity and a versatile formal language.
