On September 19, the production and exhibition platform basis e. V. celebrates its anniversary—basis turns 20.

Together with the artists supported by basis, we open our doors and offer insights into current work as well as reflections on the past years. Open studios, talks, and guided tours invite visitors to learn more about artistic processes and the development of basis. The program will be accompanied by drinks, snacks, sparkling wine, and music.

We look forward to celebrating with you!
