You are cordially invited to the opening: May 13, 2026, 6:00 p.m.

In May, Artstübli – Art & Culture will become the temporary studio of Basel-based artist Timo Paris. During his residency, Paris will work on-site daily on a large-scale drawing scaled to the dimensions of the exhibition space, opening up his creative process to visitors. Over the course of several weeks, the art space will thus transform into a vibrant working environment where drawing can be experienced as a time-based and physical practice. The work is created in connection with his long-term project The Living Line. In this project, Paris understands drawing as movement, trace, and social form. The starting point is his artistic practice, which lies at the intersection of breaking, performative research, and drawing. Physical movement is translated into lines, and lines, in turn, become starting points for new encounters, collaborations, and transformations. Drawing appears here as an open process that continues to evolve across places, people, and time. Timo Paris will be present most days during his residency. Visitors are invited to witness the work’s creation process and gain insight into his working methods. A central component of the project are so-called City Drops.

In this project, the artist places small drawings in public spaces and sets them in circulation. People who find these works become part of a growing network that carries the drawings forward, documents them, and, by bringing them together, gives rise to new generations. In this way, *The Living Line* unfolds as a collective process within the urban public sphere.

Most days, the artist works on-site between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.; visitors are welcome to stop by during these hours and observe his creative process directly in the studio.

As part of the accompanying program, public dance sessions will take place. These open gatherings offer the opportunity to meet dancers from the local breaking scene, train together, or simply watch. No registration is required.

As part of the Atelier Ouverts on May 31, Timo Paris will present the works created during his residency and provide insight into the further development of his project on site.

Timo Paris works at the intersection of dance and visual art. In his multidisciplinary practice, he explores the relationship between body, space, and perception, combining media such as movement, drawing, film, photography, and sculpture. Paris studied Fine Arts at the HGK FHNW (BA 2020, MA 2024).

In this project, the artist places small drawings in public spaces and sets them in circulation. People who find these works become part of a growing network that carries the drawings forward, documents them, and, by bringing them together, gives rise to new generations. In this way, *The Living Line* unfolds as a collective process within the urban public sphere.

His works have been exhibited internationally, including at MAINTENANT in Marfa (Texas), at HANGAR in Lisbon, at Kunsthaus Baselland, at the Fondation Beyeler, and at the LISTE Art Fair Basel. In addition to his exhibition work, Paris is active as a performer and educator and has been involved in the Flavour Crew Basel mentorship program since 2019, where he promotes intergenerational exchange within hip-hop culture.

Workshop

REWRITING REGION

20.3 – 5.6.26

What does regionality mean? How is a region constituted if we take into account the many entanglements of migration, memory, language, social relationships, and historical shifts? In that case, it can no longer be confined to a geographical place, but unfolds as a mobile, shifting formation. Which stories we tell about “our” region – what becomes visible through them, and who is rendered invisible – these and further questions form the focus of the workshop.

The workshop evenings take place at Literaturhaus Basel and are co-led each time by the author Eva Seck and an artist. The artists contribute thematic and conceptual input; building on this, Eva Seck develops writing prompts that are explored during the workshops. In addition, participants have the opportunity – based on the writing workshop – to attend a zine workshop led by the semi-anonymous queer collective Q.U.I.C.H.E at Kunstraum DOCK. Participation in the zine workshop is optional.

The results of the workshop series will become part of an exhibition at DOCK, which will be on view in DOCK’s shop windows from 27.06. to 24.07. The vernissage at DOCK will include a short reading from the texts created.

Shifting Matters

21.3 – 28.6.26

What remains when everything is in motion? In the group exhibition Shifting Matters, Vanessa Billy (*1978), Maya Bringolf (*1969), Jannik Giger (*1985), and Zimoun (*1977) explore the question of how we relate to different materials, environments, and to one another in today’s world. Their works invite viewers to experience change and movement as ongoing processes that connect past and present.

The four artists each set distinct emphases: Bringolf works with assemblages made from found and recycled materials; Billy examines the connection between body and earth; Zimoun translates movement and rhythm into acoustic resonance; and Giger explores transformation through sound, gesture, and image.

Together, their works create a multilayered interplay of forms, sounds, and perceptions, in which instability, renewal, and the potential of continuous change become tangible.

Curated by Patrizia Keller (Director, Kunstraum Baden) and Chantal Molleur (Co-founder and Head Curator, White Frame).
