Following the Clues of a Roman Life Story
How do archaeologists investigate a sensational find?

AUSSTELLUNGSRAUM KLINGENTAL
This exhibition space provides a platform for critical engagement
with the current works of artists who live and work
in Basel. As a place of interaction between contemporary
art and the public at large it is also dedicated to presenting,
questioning and discussing today’s artistic practice.
14.1.–19.2.2023 untereinander werden (among one another) –
Louise Bozelec, Mirjam Plattner
The exhibition untereinander werden (among one another) by
Louise Bozelec and Mirjam Plattner is a hybrid of installation,
performance and showroom. Together the artists search
for points of contact with which to turn the three exhibition
spaces into an ambivalent, multi-facetted corpus.
