Basis 2024

The last year at the Institute Art Gender Nature has been characterized by a great variety of intangible exchanges and discourse on the making of artworks. To study art means, among other things, to expose oneself to the profound experience of artistic freedom. It also means finding one’s own artistic language in the process of expanding one’s own view of the world. This individual process is at the same time a collective one, which finds its discourse especially in the Forum Kunst in the Bachelor's program of the Institute Art Gender Nature.

The Forum Kunst is accompanied by artists and theoreticians in three inter-year groups. In this context, it is also about negotiations and collaborations with a great network of creative friends and the search for future collaborations. The exhibition BASIS 2024 is an attempt to create an inspiring and ephemeral atmosphere for this exchange.

Now, at the end of the spring semester, the first and second year Bachelor students are taking up the challenge of presenting their artwork to other students and the public but also discussing it with an external jury. The exhibition is curated by lecturers. Their concern is to find, together with the students, an adequate presentation of their work, a place of encounter, a meeting point for different perspectives and a coherent interplay within the group exhibition.

The BASIS 2024 exhibition aims to create a space for experiencing art and is conceived as a hub for inspiration and ideas. It represents an important moment for students in the early stages of their artistic development. We are especially happy to share this moment with an external audience.
