Rewilding

Rewilding marks the opening of the new Kunsthaus Baselland on the Dreispitz at its new location. Around 30 national and international artists from different generations and a wide variety of countries have been invited. Their works, many of which are new productions, relate decidedly to current ecological, feminist or socio-cultural issues.

"Rewilding" in the context of the opening exhibition therefore means to provide a renewed home for the dynamic creative forces that the Kunsthaus has repeatedly hosted since its inception and which it now wishes to continue in its new location; to revisit a dynamic in a place that once stood for the handling of goods and is now integrated as a building in a huge urban structural change; to show creative new ways in which we as a society - despite times of crisis - can move towards a positive future that should be characterized by respect, friendship and - if necessary - forgiveness in our dealings with each other and with all living beings and species around us. "Rewilding" therefore also stands for a positive, collective new beginning.
