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,

The collective was committed to providing space for opportunities and connecting people. The collective played with the spaces between public and private, redefining these spaces and thus revealing new perspectives. When it was founded, Virginia Woolf's seminal work on feminism, "A Room of One's Own", served as a template. It's about the right to space where ideas can be realized. "We expanded the concept and thus created a protected space with a public impact."
We would like to thank 🩷 everyone involved for these wonderful five years.
The exhibition space has been closed since 20 September 2025.
