Experimental, poetic, performative, an attic room becomes an art and culture room.
PERIPHERIE 8 was an art association located in the attic of a residential building on the outskirts of Basel and an independent off-space. The room was open for artistic, musical, performative and poetic experiments. PERIPHERIE 8 was a place for collaboration, mutual exchange and the communication of current art and cultural trends. The focus was on the diversity of different media.
PERIPHERIE 8 was a collectively run platform that was initiated in June 2021 by its main organiser, Thea Geneva.
The PERIPHERIE 8 collective also consisted of Raphael Reichert, Stefan Schmidlin, Pavel Kovalenko, Alexandra vom Endt, maboart bohren und magoni,
& more...
We would like to thank 🩷 everyone involved for these wonderful five years.
The exhibition space has been closed since 20 September 2025.

PERIPHERIE 8 turns 5.
It was with a heavy heart that we had to close the project in its current form.
We are no longer able to issue open calls for submissions, as despite our best efforts, we unfortunately do not have the financial resources available to fund the program.
We opened the exhibition space on June 19, 2021.
After 19 exhibitions with around 40 participating artists, we close the exhibition space Off-space PERIPHERIE 8, the Kunstzimmer.
We are often asked whether and how Peripherie 8 will continue.
We are very pleased about this and would like to thank you very much for your support. This much we can reveal: we will definitely be taking a sabbatical first.
Sincerly
