BASEL.- Whispers from Tides and Forests
With Caroline Bachmann, Johanna Calle, Lena Laguna Diel, Abi Palmer, Nohemí Pérez, Naufus Ramírez-Figueroa, Belén Rodríguez, Ana Silva, Julia Steiner, Surma and Liu Yujia
Through 17 August, 2025


This is an exhibition of quiet tones as well as the delicate new stories that we should begin telling in these times of crisis and upheaval. In the face of climate change, landscapes, forests and rivers under threat, and the migration caused by the extreme global climatic and political situations that are becoming increasingly apparent, we need to find new narratives that might not be the same as the previous ones. Because, as the professor and anthropologist Anna Tsing recently explained, we should now prepare ourselves to survive without the old stories that could tell us what happens next.

The internationally active artists involved in the exhibition facilitate these subtle new narratives that position human beings in a new relationship between space, time and body. They are about a caring, considerate coexistence between people and nature, but also progress and the power of resilience—without dismissing current events. They offer us a glimpse of the world, from South America to Europe, showing us turbulent places and themes of vulnerability and loss, but also trees, forest floors and their mushroom cultures, rivers and landscapes full of beauty, poetry and the future. Curated by Ines Goldbach.

Long-term​ projects at Kunsthaus Baselland

Eva Lootz
In cooperation with the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid
September 26, 2025–January 2026
Press conference: Wednesday, September 24, 2025, 11am
Opening: Thursday, September 25, 2025, 6:30pm


While Eva Lootz was one of the leading pioneers of the 1970s, her work is only now being discovered in all its abundance and astonishing relevance: born in Vienna in 1940, the artist has lived in Madrid since the 1960s, choosing to live and work in Spain at a time when the country was ruled by a military dictatorship that remained in power until the mid-1970s. Making art, as Lootz understands it and understood it from the very beginning, was therefore shaped by political resistance and social and private resilience. For Lootz, being political means, more than anything else, looking closely, listening carefully, and understanding what is being said or read. The materials she uses emphasize softness and poetic fluidity—even when they are made of marble or bitumen—while reflecting the origins of their extraction at the same time: salt, sand, water, stone. Her oeuvre includes drawings, sculptures, videos, photographs, (wall) paintings and site-specific interventions.

In cooperation with the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid and in close collaboration with the artist herself, this exhibition is the first of its kind in a German-speaking country. Curated by Ines Goldbach and Fernando López.
