Im Foyer

With Im Foyer the Ausstellungsraum Klingental initiated a format for exchange and participation that connects generations. For six afternoons, the foyer was transformed into an open textile studio and café. Everyone was welcome to drop by, have a drink, join in, contribute their own ideas or simply watch. Designing with textile techniques gave rise to a shared exchange. Invited artists accompanied the meetings and provided insights into their artistic explorations.

Some of the results and processes from Im Foyer are now being presented here in sigma_space.

Im Foyer was realized in cooperation with FOYERBASEL. The format was developed and implemented by Franziska Baumgartner, Flavia Spichtig and Sabrina Davatz. Sonja Lippuner and Vera Bruggmann were also part of the extended team. The project was financed by the Swisslos Fund Basel-Stadt.

The Im Foyer format ties in with the ongoing programme at the Ausstellungsraum Klingental and is situated at the interface between art education and socio-cultural work. It makes an important contribution to the Ausstellungsraum Klingental's stated goal of greater openness and cultural participation.
