We are happy to announce our participation in this year’s edition of Basel Social Club, with a selection of works by Ivana Ivković and Šejla Kamerić.

Opening Hours:
Sunday, June 15th – Saturday, June 21st
2pm – Midnight

Basel Social Club 2025 takes place from June 15 – 21 in a former private bank in the heart of Grossbasel, transforming over 100 rooms into an immersive exhibition space. In keeping with its tradition of site-specific programming, the 2025 edition engages directly with the building’s symbolic and material past. This year’s theme draws inspiration from the language of finance and exchange, exploring systems of value, commerce, and trade. The resulting exhibition, performance program and culinary options unfold within the bank setting, where boundaries dissolve between currency and care, luxury and necessity, spectacle and service. The program features installations, performances, and culinary experiences, all free and open to the public.
Ivana Ivković, No Peace, 2025, carpet, 100% New Zealand wool, 164 x 230 cm

Ivana Ivković (b. 1979, based in Belgrade) gained recognition with her frank and intensely private, self-reflexive approach. Her nomadic style of life – travels, frequent geographical dislocations and exposures to different cultural surroundings, had a major influence over her work, which involves personal history and real and invented memories. The notion of identity and gendered experience are the main elements in her works. In the most unexpected way, Ivković shifts the infamous classical roles between women and men in art, using the naked or semi-naked male body as a performative instrument within orchestrated scenes, tableau vivant. Recently, Ivana Ivković has shown her work at: Varna City Art Gallery “Boris Georgiev” in Bulgaria, ArtHouse Jersey, Gallery ART and Gallery NGVU in Podgorica, MontenegroHumboldt Forum Berlin, Museum of Contemporary Art of Vojvodina, Salon of the Museum of Contemporary Art Belgrade, Biennale Internazionale Donna in Trieste, MuseumsQuartier Vienna, History museum of Bosnia in Sarajevo, Mala voadora Porto, TAF Athens, Kibla portal in Maribor, Slovenia, National Museum of Montenegro, Hošek Contemporary in Berlin, among other places.

Šejla Kamerić, Liberty Cursive, 2015-2023, plexiglass, led lights, metal spikes, 51 x 300 x 20 cm

Šejla Kamerić (b. 1976 in Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina) is a versatile visual artist known for her multi-disciplinary approach, including film, photography, objects, drawings, and installations. She has received widespread acclaim for the poignant intimacy and social commentary that have become the main elements of her work. Taking up subjects that arise from non-linear historical narratives, as well as personal histories, Kamerić focuses on the politics of memory, modes of resistance in human life, and the consequential idiosyncrasies of women’s struggle. By insisting on empathy as the founding communicative mechanism between herself, her subjects, and spectators, Kamerić both warns of and creates places of power and political arenas.
