Wider than me
The exhibition „Wider than me“ at Artstübli brings together four positions of artists from Mulhouse, Oaxaca and New York, who traveled around the world and the region of Basel as part of the Atelier Mondial residency program. All four artists deal in very different ways with the question of how we can transcend our current circumstances, how we can transcend the supposed limitations of our time, and how art can describe and comment on this. How can we gain a new relationship to nature, of which we have always been a part, how can we preserve it? How can we transform the categories of gender, sexuality and ethnicity into something greater that unites us? Which paths lead out of the expectations of traditional family ties and where can the finite touch the infinite?
Vernissage with the performance “Le beau geste” by Sergio Chavez Ahuate on 28.08. at 7.07 pm.
With: Sergio Chavez Ahuate, Laura Haby, Emmanuel Henninger, Ibtisam Tasnim Zaman
Curated by: Isabel Balzer and Alexandra Stähel

Exhibition by Miriam Barth
September 05 - 15, 2024
Thanks to a grant from Atelier Mondial, Miriam Barth spent six months in Oaxaca, Mexico, where she was able to gain a closer insight into the culture and textile craftsmanship of the people living there. From 2023 to 2024, she dedicated her time to researching the colors and plant dyes of the region.
The exhibition "Immersion in Color" presents her works created during her 6-month stay. It is our great pleasure to invite you to Miriam Barth's exhibition and to share her experiences with you.
