An attic room becomes an art room.
PERIPHERIE 8 is an exhibition space for contemporary art in Basel and is located on the border/periphery to the neighbouring canton of Basel Land.
​Located in the attic of an inhabited house, PERIPHERIE 8 plays with the theme of the public and the private.
The founding was inspired by the fundamental work of feminism ‘A Room of One’s Own’ (Virginia Woolf). The right to one's own space to realise one's own ideas. In this case, this means creating opportunities for artists, collectives and curators to realise open to concrete exhibition concepts.
The focus is on works that deal with our present in an experimental, poetic and performative way.​​​​
