Primarily used as an artist's studio, the space opens its doors three times a year for public exhibitions. The gallery selects an annual conceptual theme, with 2009's as an open-for-interpretation title, "(self)curated." With a focus on showcasing artists from countries often excluded from a contemporary dialogue, the gallery seeks to create a cultural bridge between Eastern European art and the West. Laying the framework for an artistic network by developing a dialogue between artists from all corners of the world, basement often hosts artists from Georgia, Mexico, Moldova, Armenia and other marginalized countries, establishing a visual dialogue between their work and the work of Viennese artists. /system/photos/0047/0171/innere-uns-2_1_thumb.jpg 2009-05-06T11:47:26+02:00 Vienna Art 470171 Courtesy of basement /system/photos/0047/0171/innere-uns-2_1.jpg 470100 Courtesy of basement /system/photos/0047/0100/IMGP9937.jpg 470141 Courtesy of basement /system/photos/0047/0141/IMGP9265.jpg 470333 Courtesy of basement /system/photos/0047/0333/performance-2_1.jpg 470151 Courtesy of basement /system/photos/0047/0151/IMGP9415.jpg 470161 Courtesy of basement /system/photos/0047/0161/IMGP9419.jpg
