TOURS AND WORKSHOPS THROUGH THE CURRENT EXHIBITION ‹WHAT COULD BE: EXPERIMENTS BETWEEN HERITAGE CONSERVATION AND ARCHITECTURE›
The focus is on the question of what role monument preservation plays today - and how it can contribute to the sustainable future of building.

HANDS-ON STATION: ‹HERITAGE CONSERVATION OF THE FUTURE?›

KULTUR UNTER EINEM DACH für SCHULEN - Tandem-Rundgänge für Schulklassen im S AM & Kunsthalle Basel

Die Kunsthalle Basel und das S AM Schweizerisches Architekturmuseum verbindet nicht nur ein gemeinsames Dach, sondern auch die Begeisterung für Kunst, Kultur und Gesellschaft. Darunter vereinen sie zeitgenössische Künstlerpositionen mit aktuellen Themen rund um Architektur und Städtebau. Diese Synergien werden in einem gemeinsamen Rundgang erlebbar gemacht, Schnittstellen gezogen, sowie Unterschiede und Bedeutungen für die Gesellschaft erörtert.

Preservation and Queer Heritage: Screening 'Abriss' and 'Dorothy Towers'

7-8.30 PM

How does historic preservation intersect with queer and other marginalized identities? To what extent might queerness question or expand conventional understandings of historic monuments and what it means to preserve them?

DenkMalBar at S AM
Admission: Pay What You Wish
Language: English

8/10 Denk Mal Bar: Whiskey/Sake Highball with Sandra + Yuma (S AM Swiss Architecture Museum)

6 – 10 PM

The 'denk mal bar' creates a space to discuss the heritage conservation of tomorrow over a cool drink - because heritage conservation is and always has been a matter of negotiation. The bar becomes a discursive sculpture, its base is filled with literature that can be quickly picked up during lively discussions. This use echoes the former Kunsthalle Bar, which operated in the same space for two decades from 1984.

5/6 Guided Tour through the exhibition 'What Was Could Be: Experiments Between Preservation and Architecture'

8–9 PM, English, with after work drinks

Preservation is progressive: In current efforts to shift towards more sustainable building practices (known in German as the Bauwende, or ‘building turnaround’), preservation and maintenance of the existing building stock play a central role. In this context, the theory and practice of historic preservation also gain a new urgency. 

Admission: CHF 12.–, red. CHF 8.–
