The Goethe-Institut in Paris together with the production and exhibition platform basis e.V. Frankfurt is hosting a group show entitled “basis.aperçu”. A selection of works by Viola Bittl, Lena Ditlmann, Lilly Lulay, Erika Landström, Simon Speiser, Yuki Kishino, Margarethe Kollmer and Hannes Seidl is on view from September 15 to October 29, 2017. The opening is on September 14, 2017 at 7 pm.

The “basis.aperçu” exhibition seeks to offer insights into the diverse positions represented by the artists who work in the basis studios. The group exhibition will feature selected pieces by young and highly promising artists, whose works are characterized by great rigor and quality. The exhibition will include paintings and drawings, 3D objects and filmic and text-based media, thus offering insights not only into art production in Frankfurt but also on how these artists address current artistic discourses.

The exhibition will take place in the Goethe Institut premises in Paris.

On the occasion of this year’s Nuit Blanche in Paris, Goethe-Institut and basis e.V. will be presenting performances and installations by Frankfurt artists as part of the "basis.aperçu" exhibition. The annual cultural festival has chosen “Faire oeuvre commune” – “Do things Together” as its motto. The artists selected – Levent Kunt, Hannes Seidl and choreography duo Billinger & Schulz – will present works specially made or adapted for the Nuit Blanche in which they reflect on site-specific aspects and impressions of city life in Paris.
