After several years of exhibition activities by the Riehen Municipal Commission Fine Arts in the Villa Berowergut and the Municipal House, Kunst Raum Riehen established itself from 1998 as an important platform for contemporary art, which also attracts a great deal of attention beyond its borders, as a sought-after institution and a springboard for some artists who are now internationally recognized. With high standards of quality and a purposeful program, local, regional and international art is presented in a variety of exhibitions and events, and connections to other arts such as fashion, architecture, music and film are sought.
With 20 selected artist positions – corresponding to the 20th anniversary – the anniversary exhibition is not only a tribute to the institution and its function as a pioneer of forward-looking art, but also a tribute to all artists and their art who have contributed to the reputation of the museum.
With the kind support of Swisslos-Fonds Basel-Stadt, Lotteriefond Kanton Solothurn and Brüderlin Merkle Architekten.
