Forum Basel
Exhibition in Swiss Architecture Museum
Exhibition FORUM BASEL took place in Swiss Architecture Museum (S AM) and was designed and curated by together with curators from S AM (Andreas Ruby, director; and Stephanie Savio, curator) and curators from Chile - Plan comun.
On the contrast to the complete commercialization of the city, which takes place during Art Basel week, the museum is given to public use for free. The Whole museum was transformed into actual public space: the entry fee is abolished; the 4 rooms of museum are transformed into : open coworking space with free wi-fi; living room with ping-pong; common library and movie-screening room. The exhibition explores the potential of Public Space, and uses the example of Basel to propose new communal urban typologies.
