The opening of the new Kunsthaus Baselland.
The time has finally come: the new Kunsthaus Baselland, designed by Buchner Bründler Architekten and transformed from a former champagne warehouse into a venue for contemporary art, is now complete. After 25 years at its site in Muttenz, the Kunstverein Baselland now has a new home in Münchenstein, in a vibrant environment of art and cultural institutions, the University of Art and Design, artists' studios, as well as manufacturing businesses and a diverse local community.
However, an arthouse only becomes what it is through the artists who use and enrich it as an instrument from now on, together with the people who carry, support and visit it. "Rewilding" here refers to the former vibrant use and production of the warehouse and its immediate surroundings, meaning a great "rebirth" and renewed activation of now creative, inspiring ideas by the invited artists. It is our wish that the Kunsthaus will continue to serve as a starting point for new, unseen or daring ideas for exhibiting artists from near and far - and even more so in its new location.
Following the curatorial program of the Kunsthaus Baselland in recent years, numerous artists from the region, Switzerland and abroad have been invited to participate in the large opening exhibition. We already have wonderful experiences with many of them from previous exhibitions. With the opening exhibition, the invited artists have created numerous new productions and new exhibitions for the new building, as well as contributions for the opening celebrations and the duration of the exhibition, with which the Kunsthaus Baselland will now begin its new era. The exhibition is curated by Ines Goldbach together with the artists and made possible by the entire Kunsthaus team at all levels.
