The Project
Temporary art in the heart of Basel
In the middle of Basel’s old town, a stone’s throw from the Kunstmuseum (Museum of Fine Arts), cathedral and the Museum of Cultures, three inter-connected town houses – “Zur hohen Sonne” and “Rotberger Hof” – will become an art house and will be open to the public on numerous occasions over four years. A centrepiece of traditional Basel architecture will become a temporary art house – from the basement to the attic level, including two courtyards. A maze for explorers.
Platform for art, collaboration and encounters
FOR ART sees itself as a platform for art, collaborations and spontaneous interventions. With their special architecture and atmosphere, the three buildings offer ideal conditions for a diverse programme: exhibitions, performative and other events, talks & lectures, film screenings and interactive campaigns.
