BASIS - The documentation archive for artists from Central Switzerland is a creative reservoir, a storage location and warehouse full of ideas. The uniformly designed cardboard boxes do not give away anything about their content and thereby invite us even more to take a closer look at their interiors, to detect and to pearl dive. The exhibition "inside out, part I" lets the ideas existing inside the boxes become solid, three-dimensional and shows the completion of what is present as feedstock in the documentations and portfolios.

A floor plan will be developed for the first of two exhibitions - a house inside the house. The visitors will be directed through this ephemeral apartment and in doing so will encounter chosen works of artists represented by the BASIS.

The protected framework of the artist’s studio, the interior, constitutes the precondition for the emergence of an art piece. Carrying it to the outside is only of importance later in the working process. The house functions as case and container for and within our everyday life. The objects, conditions and situations found in a house are often vital sources of inspiration. The exhibition "inside out, part I" combines what persists as idea, sketch or documentation, the inner of the box or the inner of an artist’s studio, with its execution and result.
