Basel Biennale 2026

Basel Biennale. The most sustainable art exhibition ever, a visual mixtape. Theme 2026: Popular.

Basel Biennale aims to cast light on the many artworks that exist in public places in Basel, but often stay unnoticed. The first two Basel Biennales have been dedicated to them. But Basel’s public space also features artworks that are almost impossible to miss – and these are this year’s protagonists. But even the most popular artworks need care. That’s why the Basel Biennale also aims to raise awareness for preserving these works of art. Some of them need regular maintenance, some of them need to be repaired, so giving them continued love and respect is desired.

The artists: Jonathan Borofsky, Bettina Eichin, Fischli/Weiss, René Küng, Lang/Baumann, Pablo Picasso, Nikki de Saint Phalle, Ferdinand Schlöth, Thomas Schütte, Richard Serra, Paul Suter, Jean Tinguely, Alexander Zschokke.
