As part of Kunsttage Basel weekend, we unveil the next step in a long-standing friendship and creative dialogue between Swiss artist Claudia Comte and Nordstern - an institution that has stayed true to its role as a home for music and community in Basel for over two decades.
Recurring wave forms, a signature pattern in Comte's practice, drawn from systems found throughout nature, will become the ship's new visual language, echoing sound, water and growth. Because rhythm isn't just structural - It's what makes us move, what draws people together in shared space and shared time. This intervention doesn't introduce something foreign to Nordstern; it makes visible a pulse that was always already there.
Join us for the first public glimpse of the 2.5 meter 3D model and overall vision!
