Video Art in Dialogue 2

Following a first series of events in January 2025, VIDEO WINDOW is delighted to continue the Video Art in Dialogue format in collaboration with the VIA studio and production collective in Basel in January 2027. Nine established artists, six of whom have links to Basel, will again present one video work each on three dates at the VIA film studio for discussion:

Olivia Abächerli, Tatjana Erpen, Sonja Feldmeier, Rebekka Friedli, Dorota Gawęda & Eglė Kulbokaitė, Moritz Hossli, Esther Hunziker, Mimi von Moos und Lena Maria Thüring.

The aim of the events is to comparatively debate artistic interests, strategies and forms of expression exemplified by the videos and a workshop-like dialogue between the artists, the curator and the public and to jointly discover the multifaceted nature of video art.

Each evening will conclude with the opportunity to continue the discussion and to network over a plate of pasta at the venue.
