Kunstkredit Basel-Stadt
Cat鈥檚 Cradle unites ten individual artists, ten independent points of view, and ten different approaches. Common to each is that Kunstkredit Basel-Stadt funded them in 2021, but what connects them beyond this?
Like the titular childhood game of string figures, which requires the interaction of at least two people to play, the exhibited works make clear that art does not exist in a vacuum. A web emerges between the exhibited positions and beyond. Threads are picked up, transformed, sometimes dropped: Cat鈥檚 Cradle, Jacob鈥檚 Ladder, Soldier鈥檚 Bed, Witch鈥檚 Broom. Which figures emerge?
Cat鈥檚 Cradle represents a moment in time 鈥� in the work of the artists as well as in the regional art scene. It allows us to discover links in strategies relating to aesthetics and medium, as well as overlaps in themes.
