Milano: Mousse publishing, 2026 9788867497317 2409 N vol.: 1, N pag.: 364, W: 24, Illustr.: COL + B/N, N illustr.: 500 "Some cities are defined by boundaries; Basel is defined by continuity. Here, art does not stay confined to museums or institutions it flows through streets, homes, and everyday life, becoming inseparable from the city itself. Art and civic care are intertwined: those who create, collect, or exhibit are actively shaping a shared cultural ecosystem, built on centuries of commitment, generosity, and public trust. This book offers a curated editorial reading of Basel s rich cultural landscape. Structured as a syllabary, it allows readers to explore twelve key institutions museums, foundations, and cultural spaces through the pairing of a word with a place, or a concept with an institution, revealing how art quietly yet insistently inhabits the city. Samuel Leuenberger, co-curator of the project with Mousse, carefully selected these twelve words to capture the essence and defining characteristics of each institution. Every space was invited to present itself through a variety of formats, allowing it to tell its story in its own voice. The publication features over 500 images and traces the histories of some of Basel s most important cultural actors, told by the people who shape the institutions themselves or collaborate closely with them.
