On the occasion of the opening of the new Kunsthaus Baselland, Tony Cokes has realized site-specific works for the façade of the building. Cokes develops his mostly strong-colored text fragments both temporally related to current political and socio-cultural situations as well as spatially adapted to the respective place of presentation.

Saodat Ismailova was part of the group exhibition In Between in 2024 with her video installation “18000 Worlds”. The artist from Uzbekistan opens up a fundamental understanding of a country in the middle of Central Asia, where people live between enlightenment and a technically unrestrained present, embedded in centuries-old rituals, mysticism, legends and stories.
