Discovering I-Hood at Kunsthaus Baselland: Bachelor and Master HGK FHNW Graduation Exhibition
Exploring the 2019 Graduation Show in Basel
Kunsthaus Baselland once again hosted the annual degree showcase for the Art Institute (Institut Kunst) of the Hochschule für Gestaltung und Kunst FHNW. Marking the fourth consecutive year of this partnership, the exhibition brought together newly created pieces by a large cohort of bachelor’s and master’s graduates. Visitors exploring the presentation can also look at coverage from outlets like the Basler Zeitung.
The Conceptual Framework of I-Hood
Curated jointly by Chus Martínez, head of the Art Institute, and writer and curator Filipa Ramos, the showcase centered on the conceptual exploration of the “I” in relation to natural and social environments. The thematic title points toward the vanguard of personal identity, contrasting the introspective nature of the “self” with the relational intimacy of the “I.”
Rather than relying on standard digital media formats, the featured installations, performances, and physical objects encourage audiences to engage deeply with tactile textures, spatial movement, and sound. The works examine contemporary habits of image-making, storytelling, and digital communication, prompting viewers to reconsider how individuals connect with history, technology, and one another.
