Tour suggestion by Nikola Dietrich

We asked a number of local personalities to name the venues and events they will be visiting during the Kunsttage Basel. The sixth tour suggestion comes from Nikola Dietrich, Artistic Director of Liste Art Fair Basel.

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. That's why I'm particularly focussed on the places I hardly know – and there are quite a few of them:

I'm looking forward to the group exhibitions by Voltage, the residency programme of Atelier Mondial at Artstübli and Kunstforum Baloise Park. As co-editor of an art magazine, I'm very interested in the BOLO Publishing venue; Annie Wan's intervention at the nearby PF25 cultural projects is a good follow-up. The Courtney Jaeger curatorial project in the rooms of Housy sounds very promising, as do the exhibitions in other exhibition spaces in Kleinbasel, e.g. in Eleven Ten Studio, in the Projektraum M54, in studio <wirdnachgereicht> with an exhibition on migration; or the exhibitions in the long-established Galerie Guillaume Daeppen, and in the DOCK art space, where you can make yourself available to Heike Müller as a model for her painting sessions. There is a solo exhibition by Anselm Stalder at FILIALE and an exhibition with him and Ivan Mitrovic at space25. I'm also looking forward to Gina Folly's projects at the BC Gallery and Michael Schindhelm's at the Kulturstiftung Basel H. Geiger I KBH.G.

I will certainly be visiting the kHaus several times this weekend with its various activities – performances, film programme, spatial interventions, talks and of course the "Super Saturday".

On Thursday and Friday, I'm looking forward to the numerous exhibition openings, e.g. at Artachment Art Space, Hauser & Wirth, Contemporary Fine Arts, Kunsthalle Basel, HEK, and Kunsthaus Baselland with the diploma exhibition of the Institut Kunst Gender Natur HGK Basel FHNW.
