A special Regionale is taking place at the Kunsthaus Baselland, one of the co-founders of this key large-scale exhibition in the Swiss-French-German border triangle, marking its 20-year anniversary. A significant focus lies on the crossing of borders and this shall be accompanied by a broad programme of events.

It’s worthwhile stepping out – outside the familiar, the established and the obvious too. For 20 years the Regionale has been a major exhibition within three countries’ various institutions. We see the Regionale as an invitation to encounter different artists from the region, and thus make new discoveries, as well as to move oneself, going from place to place and crossing borders. For that reason, in this anniversary Regionale we place the emphasis on artists who work from the walls into the space, with their works, sculptural installations or interventions. In addition, and equally a part of the exhibition, we want to open up other spaces, to visit neighbouring institutions, to discuss and experience the works of the exhibiting artists. So this is a joint invitation: to exhibitions and on excursions and, above all, an invitation to move.
