For the 17th edition of the Regionale exhibition, Kunsthalle Basel presents seven young artists who work in various media, including film, photography, installation, performance, sculpture, and drawing. Spread across our ground floor galleries of Kunsthalle Basel, their work negotiates “the real” in diverse ways—documenting it, attempting to replicate it, or alternately oneirically charging it so as to create works that can best be described as surreal. In each case, either a proximity or a distance from the real equally suggests an engagement with it. Combined in an exhibition, these various responses to reality—as a way to interrogate, celebrate, refigure, or disown it in their practices—offer a keen commentary on contemporary world by artists from or now working in the region.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Artists<br>Othmar Farré (1985, Brig, CH lives and works in Basel, CH)<br>Gregory Hari (1993, Richterswil, CH lives and works in Basel and Zurich, CH)<br>Danae Hoffmann (1994, Neustadt an der Weinstrasse, DE, lives and works in Karlsruhe, DE)<br>Camille Holtz (1989, Obernai, FR, lives and works in Marseille, FR)<br>Maude Léonard-Contant (1979, Joliette, CDN, lives and works in Basel, CH)<br>Dominic Michel (1987, Klingnau, CH, lives and works in Basel, CH)<br>Deirdre O’Leary (1989, Fribourg, CH, lives and works in Basel, CH)</p>","exhibitiontexts":[],"pressimages":null,"maincontent":[{"type":"image","content":{"anchor":"","anchorlabel":"","image":{"url":"https://kunsthallebasel.ch/media/pages/exhibitions/regionale-17/bc77aafae4-1760625807/regionale14295-1920x1200-crop-q90.webp","width":3000,"height":2002,"alt":"Kunsthalle Basel","caption":"Installation view Regionale 17 exhibition <em>Beyond the Real</em>, Kunsthalle Basel, 2016.
