PERIPHERIE 8, the art room, is located on the top floor of a residential building on the outskirts of Basel. PERIPHERIE 8 is an independent off-space. The art room is open for artistic experiments and has the motto: experimental, poetic, performative. The space is open for collaboration, exchange and mediation.
​
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.​​​​
