Basel Museums Night – An annual event for everyone
Under the title Performing the Future, Kunsthalle Basel offered a varied evening at this year’s Museum Night Basel. Visitors were able to immerse themselves once again in Regionale 23 We are so many here and discover the multifaceted exhibition, enhanced by a variety of performances. On the ground floor, they entered the visually powerful worlds of Luyang in the exhibition LuYang Vibratory Field, experienced the depths of a new digital world, and reflected on what it means to be human. The Kunsthalle Basel team was available for talks and questions throughout the evening and facilitated stimulating discussions about Luyang’s works. In addition, all visitors could transform themselves into a work of art and become an avatar designed by Luyang for a brief moment using a digital filter. The blending of the two worlds was captured photographically and in the form of a sticker, thus taking the avatars out into the world.The Museum Night is organized by museen basel and the Department of Culture Basel-Stadt. On January 20, 2023, numerous museums and cultural institutions will offer a rich program from 6 pm–2 am: www.museumsnacht.ch
