When I'm Here
Works from 1970 to 2026 by more than fifty artists, almost half based in Basel, drawn from three Basel public and foundation collections.

Zapowiedź: napisana przed otwarciem wystawy
Somewhere on the two gallery floors hangs a 1995/98 painting by Rémy Zaugg with a sentence written across it: "And would the world look at me when I'm here". It is addressed to whoever stands in front of it, which for those few minutes is you.
That line gives the show its title. It gathers more than fifty artists working between 1970 and 2026, all from three Basel collections: the public Öffentliche Kunstsammlung, the Emanuel Hoffmann Foundation and the Kunstkredit Basel-Stadt. Six sections are named after prepositions (In, With, Behind, Across, In Front, Between), and Cindy Sherman, Wolfgang Tillmans and VALIE EXPORT hang alongside artists from the city. Almost half of them live in Basel, so the person ahead of you in the Coop queue could have a work upstairs.
Gegenwart is closed for installation until 27 November. Public tours run on 13 December in German and 20 December in English, at 14:00, for admission plus CHF 7.
Zwróć uwagę na
Rémy Zaugg's title painting
Look for the 1995/98 canvas with the words "And would the world look at me when I'm here" written across it, speaking straight to the viewer.
Bodies in the With section
Monika Dillier, Karin Hueber and others show sculptures that resemble athletic gear next to bodies painted in loose, fluid watercolour.
Ordinary objects in Behind
Saâdane Afif, Simon Denny, Jana Euler, Henrik Olesen and Monika Sosnowska take everyday objects out of their usual setting and put them in the gallery.
