Unfortunate Grammar

For the eleventh time, the Residency Program Atelier Mondial and the Institute Art Gender Nature (IAGN) HGK Basel FHNW present a collaborative exhibition project that brings together artists from both institutions.

This year's edition ‘Unfortunate Grammar’ is curated by Sincerely, a space organised by and for students to share their work, experiment with curation and collaboration and create even more community at the IAGN. Working in close dialogue with the invited artists, Sincerely is approaching the exhibition as a collective process, shaping a format that reflects the energies and the spirit of exchange and mutual engagement that has defined this partnership since its beginnings in 2021.

Participating artists: Max Zbinen, Ina Yaelle Aline Hählen, Amadeo Maria Schwaller, Po-Jen Wei, Amador e Jr. Segurança Patrimonial Ltda, Heather Phillipson.

Additional events: Friday, June 5th at 5pm: readings by Emma Bonven, Ulas Toprak, and Pat Homse.
