Kunstverein SALTS / down by the river | up on the mountain

The “House” Moves to Switzerland! In late 2025 Kunsthaus Bregenz opened an international call for proposals presenting concepts for the reuse of the “House” from the previous exhibition ███████. The parasitic object was on view at KUB until January 18, 2026, and is to continue to be used as an artist's residence and exhibition space at City SALTS on the outskirts of Basel. City SALTS is one of two components of the art association Kunstverein SALTS in Basel and curated by Benedikt Wyss and Samuel Leuenberger. Kunsthaus Bregenz received a total of roughly fifty submissions. The response was extensive and international–with proposals from New York, London, Berlin, Bern, and Cologne as well as India, and Vorarlberg. The jury and ███████ selected the project.

Come closer! 🧟‍♀️👀 We invite you to the opening of our spring exhibition at City SALTS UNCANNY GARDEN Thursday, March 26, 6–9 pm There will be food and drinks. 🍛🥂🧃 Group exhibition with works by Eva Aeppli, Mathis Altmann, Angélique Aubrit & Ludovic Beillard, James Bantone, Morton Bartlett, Jacopo Belloni, Tobias Bradford, Loucia Carlier, Nathalie Djurberg & Hans Berg, Esther Hunziker, Sarah Lucas, Berenice Olmedo, Alberto Papparotto, Pilar Quinteros, Jorge Raka, Francisco Sierra, Tobias Spichtig, Cassidy Toner, Anna Uddenberg, Latefa Wiersch, and Pedro Wirz. Uncanny Garden transforms City SALTS into a living web of humanoid presences. Sculptures, animatronic figures, video and sound works, paintings, and photographs blur the line between familiar and uncanny. Explore what it means to see ourselves mirrored in forms that resemble us. And to trust structures designed to represent or enhance the human. Following „On Fire – Vulnerable Footage“ (2019), Uncanny Garden is the second collaboration with It’s The Real Thing – Basel Documentary Platform, supported by the Abteilung Kulturförderung Baselland, the Swisslos-Fonds Basel-Stadt, Swisslos Basellandschaft, Pro Helvetia, Ernst Göhner Stiftung, Stanley Thomas Johnson Stiftung, and Christoph Merian Stiftung. Curated by Benedikt Wyss and Samuel Leuenberger. 👹😳🤖🤡 #EvaAeppli #MathisAltmann #AngeliqueAubrit #LudovicBeillard #JamesBantone #MortonBartlett #JacopoBelloni #TobiasBradford #LouciaCarlier #NathalieDjurberg #HansBerg #EstherHunziker #SarahLucas #BereniceOlmedo #AlbertoPapparotto #PilarQuinteros #JorgeRaka #FranciscoSierra #TobiasSpichtig #CassidyToner #AnnaUddenberg #LatefaWiersch #PedroWirz #samuelleuenberger #benediktwyss #CitySALTS #SALTSBasel #KunstvereinSALTS #itstherealthing @baslerdokumentartage Graphic design by Studio Sylvan Lanz © 2026 / Kunstverein SALTS
