Foyer Programme

This year, Liste’s public programme launches an intervention space in its foyer, which is curated in collaboration with Daisy Chain – Basel’s new project space run by Gina Folly and Sven Gex. Daily events activate the entrance, including concerts, performances, readings, and installations. With works by artists and collectives from Ethan Assouline, Solomon Garçon, Marie Karlberg, Mitsubishi Suicide hosted by Cavalli, Pure Fiction, and Mia Sanchez, among others.

Within the foyer, Liste also presents a film programme, brought together by Paris-based curator and writer Juliette Desorgues. This programme comprises artists’ moving-image works selected from proposals submitted by participating galleries. Spanning a range of genres and narrative registers, the works inhabit the precarious threshold between fiction, fantasy and reality, unsettling dominant constructions of the real while envisioning alternative worlds into being. In tracing the porous boundary between the imagined and the lived, the works presented consider what kinds of futures, fears, desires, and forms of freedom emerge when reality itself begins to feel unstable.

The public programme is free of charge and open to everyone.

The screening programme includes works by Lizzy Deacon (243 Luz & Co, London/Margate), Tornike Gognadze (Commune, Vienna), Augustine Paredes (Paulina Caspari, Munich), Valentina Vaccarella (sentiment, Zurich), among others.
