Tour suggestion by Nikola Dietrich

My start of work at Liste Art Fair Basel coincides with this year's Kunsttage. This is the best opportunity to draw on the full potential and use the days to view as many exhibitions as possible, neighbourhood by neighbourhood. It's impressive to see the variety and number(!) of art spaces that have emerged since I left Basel ten years ago.

I have been involved with young art all my life. Now I'm looking into my own past on my proposed tour. I choose artists and institutions with whom I have a long history.

Tour suggestion by Ann Mazzotti

My tour of Kunsttage Basel starts on foot at the Kunsthalle Basel, where Toyin Ojih Odutola's impressive pastel works are currently on display. A short walk away, past the Kunstmuseum and the Cartoonmuseum, down the Mühleberg, I reach the Kunstmuseum Basel Gegenwart. The must-see exhibition "When We See Us" shows pan-African figurative painting by around 120 artists.

Tour suggestion by Kwaku Opoku

Maybe it’s because I’m a multidisciplinary artist, but a huge part of me loves to see an ample integration of multiple forms of art, seamlessly working together.

Tour suggestion by Anna Meinecke

Simply a must on my agenda: the Kunsthalle. It would be remiss to be in a city at the same time as a Sandra Mujinga exhibition without also visiting it. What's more, Toyin Ojih Odutola's show is still on. Afterwards would be a good time for the cardamom knot. Eaten while walking.

Tour suggestion by Tobias Brenk

I'm looking forward to the many interactive formats that offer different perspectives on the art world – such as the HYBRID PROJECT SPACE workshops or the "unofficial hiking company" of the Unofficial Hiking Agency, which will satisfy your hunger for knowledge with talks and audio guides from the Keck Kiosk to the Kunstmuseum Basel.
