LIVE, LOVE, JUSTICE | BACHELOR DIPLOMAUSSTELLUNG -

This year’s master’s and bachelor’s graduation exhibition of the Art Institute, FHNW Academy of Art and Design in Basel — curated by Nikola Dietrich, Director Kölnischer Kunstverein, and Chus Martínez, Head of the Art Institute — presents newly produced works by 50 artists.
For the fifth year, the Art Institute’s graduation exhibition is hosted by Kunsthaus Baselland. The fact that this major event takes place in an important institution for contemporary art, just as the collaboration between Chus Martínez and a guest curator, are both reflecting the particular nature of this moment in the training of young artists: it stresses the transition from the supervised environment of the art school to the stakes of the professional artist’s career. It is also the result of the extraordinary cultural density that art students in Basel are privileged to experience during their time at the Art Institute.
