Can painting be a museum, light in a room, traces of nature? What role do digital media play in a medium that has traditionally been created primarily through analog processes? How can painting be reimagined when neither the classical materials nor the tools are being used anymore? 

Thirteen artists from the tri-national region work within an artistic genre that has long needed to be redefined—above all, conceptually. Thus, painting today is much more than its familiar definition. This is evidenced by the diverse, large-scale, and mostly expansive works on display at the Kunsthaus Baselland.

Through an international perspective on the theme, featuring artists who work in Switzerland, Germany, and France and who, in turn, embody a lived internationalism in the region, the exhibition offers a multifaceted insight into a medium that remains very much alive and relevant today.
