Rainbag

Today: 1.00 PM - 6.00 PM

06 March 2022 - 10 April 2022

The weather is becoming increasingly unpredictable as a result of global warming. What means and strategies do we have at our disposal to cope with this reality?

The artists jointly develop new works around the theme of rain, its scarcity and abundance. Water evaporates, the vapor condenses in puffy clouds and falls back cooled, seeping into the ground. This inexhaustible cycle permeates both organic and inorganic matter. Our bodies are shaped by exchanges and changes that flow through them.

In the exhibition Rainbag, tools that embody absorbing, retaining, and taking away become actors. The artists living in Berlin, Basel, Munich and Svendborg, develop works that deal with flow, fullness and emptiness. With sculptures, drawings, sound and text, they explore how interdependence and coexistence can be materialized. At the beginning of the exhibition, the space will be activated with a public participatory workshop. At the end of the exhibition, a publication will be published that brings together research in image and text.

With Anka Helfertová, Katrine Hoffmeyer Tougård, Soon-Hwoa Jeong, Robert Lakomczyk, Deirdre O‘Leary, Shelley Tootell, Samuel Tschudin

With support from Ernst und Olga Gubler-Hablützel Stiftung

Institution

The Ausstellungsraum Klingental is an exhibition space, which provides a platform for artists living and working in Basel. We present, discuss and promote their artistic practice bringing it to public attention. We consider the exhibition space to be a meeting place between contemporary art and the public. The Ausstellungsraum also applies its experimental approach to its important role within the various citywide exhibition projects such as Museum Night and Regionale.

An important feature of the Ausstellungsraum is the promotion of young talent. The Ausstellungsraum Klingental discovers and presents innovative artistic work and provides opportunities for curators to develop ideas within a professional framework. However, we are also keen to promote and present important positions from older generations of artists. 

The Ausstellungsraum Klingental was first established by an artist initiative in 1974 within the Kaserne area. Since then it has been run by a changing coalition of artists and art mediators such as art-historians and curators.
