Entitled Blind Date, Kunstkredit Basel-Stadt and guest curator Elise Lammer present works by seven artists who were awarded the individual artist’s direct grant by the commission of the Kunstkredit Basel-Stadt in 2019. The exhibition uses the phenomenon of a blind date as a starting point to bring together a variety of artistic practices that share a physical and conceptual space for the first time. As a result, the production of visual artists who only share a geographical connection is mapped together, allowing for new context and associations to emerge.
