«Dance with Daemons»
Through 11 August 2024, Fondation Beyeler, Riehen
For the first time in the Fondation Beyeler’s more than 25-year history, the entire museum and its surrounding park are transformed into the site of an experimental exhibition of contemporary art. Organised by the Fondation Beyeler in collaboration with the LUMA Foundation, the exhibition brings together works by 30 participants from varied backgrounds and disciplines, among them Michael Armitage, Anne Boyer, Federico Campagna, Ian Cheng, Chuquimamani-Condori and Joshua Chuquimia Crampton, Marlene Dumas, Frida Escobedo, Peter Fischli, Cyprien Gaillard, Victor Man, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, Wade Guyton, Carsten Höller with Adam Haar, Pierre Huyghe, Arthur Jafa, Koo Jeong A, Dozie Kanu, Cildo
Meireles, Jota Mombaça, Fujiko Nakaya, Alice Notley, Precious Okoyomon, Philippe Parreno, Rachel Rose, Tino Sehgal, Rirkrit Tiravanija and Adrián Villar Rojas.Developed by Sam Keller, Mouna Mekouar, Isabela Mora, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Precious Okoyomon, Philippe Parreno and Tino Sehgal in close cooperation with the participants, the exhibition aims to foster
artistic freedom, interdisciplinary exchange and collective responsibility. Conceived as a living organism that changes and transforms, participants have contributed their thinking on every phase of the making of
an exhibition from its conception, elaboration and production to its creation and presentation. In particular, Tino Sehgal has been invited to create transforming display features for the overall presentation, especially
extending to works from the in-house collection.
Participants include artists, poets, architects, musicians, composers, philosophers and scientists. All of them were invited to transform the Fondation Beyeler, from the gallery spaces and the foyer to ancillary
spaces such as the ticket desk, the cloakroom or the shop, to the winter garden, the terrasses and the park. The public can thus rediscover the museum’s exhibition spaces in unexpected ways as well as
explore as yet unfamiliar spaces. At different times, visitors will have different experiences within a given space. Multiple temporalities will overlap through exhibition displays, social spaces, performances,
concerts, poetry readings, talks and community activities. Re-entry tickets encourage repeat visits to the exhibition. The labyrinth-like exhibition architecture invites visitors to explore the show in multiple ways.
Fondation Beyeler booth at Art Basel 2024 (G1, Hall 2.0)
From 22 September 2024 through 26 January 2025, the Fondation Beyeler will hold the first Henri Matisse retrospective in Switzerland and the German-speaking world in almost 20 years. On this occasion, the
Fondation Beyeler will devote its booth at this year’s Art Basel to the French artist. Henri Matisse ranks among the most famous and influential representatives of modern art. His many journeys and different
studios provided important sources of inspiration for his artistic practice. At its Art Basel booth, the Fondation Beyeler will present the 1948 painting Intérieur à la fougère noire (Interior with Black Fern). This
key work from the Beyeler Collection was one of Matisse’s last paintings before focussing on paper cut- outs. The booth will further feature a related photograph by Michel Sima (1912–1987), taken at the Villa Le
Rêve in the Southern France village of Vence, where Matisse lived between 1943 and 1948. The photograph shows the artist, already 77 years old, in his live-in studio, surrounded by furniture, objects and
his own paintings. At the top right next to the fireplace, one can make out Intérieur à la fougère noire .
Michel Sima’s photographs provide precious insights into Matisse’s life and artistic practice in his studio.
Julian Charrière, «Calls for Action»
8 June – 6 October 2024, Market Square, Basel
This summer, Swiss-French artist Julian Charrière transforms Basel’s the façade of the historical department store Globus, currently under renovation.
«Calls for Action» merges public art with land
conservation by opening a live feed between the city of Basel and a Western Andean cloud forest in Ecuador to highlight the interconnectivity of our planet, along with the environmental issues that threaten its
vital ecosystems. Featuring a large screen suspended on the department store façade, the project acts as a real-time window into the rich biodiversity of an endangered ecoregion. «Calls for Action» is the second
edition of the «Globus Public Art Project»: during the three-year renovation of its iconic department store on Basel’s market square, Globus is collaborating with the Fondation Beyeler on inviting artists to conceive
and realise new site-specific works of art that engage with the building and the public.

«Matisse – Invitation to the Voyage»
22 September 2024 – 26 January 2025
In autumn 2024, the Fondation Beyeler in Riehen/Basel will hold the first Henri Matisse retrospective in Switzerland and the German-speaking world in almost 20 years. Featuring over 70 key works from leading
European and American museums and private collections, the exhibition will highlight the development and diversity of the artist’s ground-breaking oeuvre. Following up on other unparalleled exhibitions such as
«Paul Gauguin» (2015), «Monet» (2017) and «The Young Picasso – Blue and Rose Periods» (2019), «Matisse – Invitation to the Voyage» will be on view at the Fondation Beyeler from 22 September 2024through 26 January 2025.

Dance with Daemons
19 May – 11 August 2024
For the first time in the Fondation Beyeler’s more than 25-year history, the entire museum and its surrounding park will be transformed into the site of an experimental exhibition of contemporary art.
Organised by Fondation Beyeler in partnership with LUMA Foundation, the show will bring together the work of 30 participants from different backgrounds and disciplines, including Michael Armitage, Anne Boyer, Federico Campagna, Ian Cheng, Chuquimamani-Condori and Joshua Chuquimia Crampton, Marlene Dumas, Frida Escobedo, Peter Fischli, Cyprien Gaillard with Victor Man, Dominique Gonzalez- Foerster, Wade Guyton, Carsten Höller with Adam Haar, Pierre Huyghe, Arthur Jafa, Koo Jeong A, Dozie Kanu, Cildo Meireles, Jota Mombaça, Fujiko Nakaya, Alice Notley, Precious Okoyomon, Philippe Parreno, Rachel Rose, Tino Sehgal, Rirkrit Tiravanija and Adrián Villar Rojas.
Developed by Sam Keller, Mouna Mekouar, Isabela Mora, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Precious Okoyomon, Philippe Parreno and Tino Sehgal in close collaboration with the participants, the exhibition aspires to
stimulate artistic freedom, interdisciplinary exchange and collective responsibility. The approach, as stated by Philippe Parreno and Precious Okoyomon, acknowledges ‘the complexities and uncertainties involved in
bringing artists together, yet it also embraces these entanglements as integral to the creative process’. The show is envisioned as ‘a dynamic rather than static proposal, an evolving ontological project that mirrors the
complexity and diversity inherent in bringing together distinct artistic voices under one umbrella’.
Conceived as a living organism that changes and transforms, participants have contributed their thinking on every phase of the making of an exhibition from its conception, elaboration and production to its
creation and presentation. In particular, Tino Sehgal has been invited to create transforming display features for the overall presentation, especially extending to works from the in-house collection.
Similar to group shows such as “Il Tempo del Postino” (organized by Art Basel, Fondation Beyeler and Theater Basel with support by LUMA Foundation and commissioned by Manchester International Festival
and Théâtre du Châtelet, Paris) and “To the Moon via the Beach” (commissioned and produced by LUMA Foundation), the project traces pathways rather than strict filiations. Just like the exhibition and the
experience itself, the title of the summer show is contributed by the participants and will periodically change.
The list of participants features artists, poets, architects, musicians, composers, philosophers and scientists. They each have been welcomed to transform Fondation Beyeler, extending across the galleries,
gardens, terraces, and ancillary spaces, such as the box office, green room, shop, foyer and winter garden.
The public will rediscover the existing gallery spaces in an unexpected way and explore spaces that theym are not familiar with. Turning up at different times, visitors will have different experiences within the same
spaces. Multiple temporalities will overlap through exhibition displays, social spaces, performances, concerts, poetry readings, talks, and community activities, encouraging multiple visits by offering return
tickets. The labyrinth-like exhibition architecture invites audiences to explore the show in different ways.
Connections and interrelationships between individual works are developed in close dialogue with the artists. This exchange also extends to works from the Fondation Beyeler collection, which has been made
available to the artists as a resource and forms an integral part of the exhibition. Alongside the temporary art projects, works by artists including Louise Bourgeois, Paul Klee, Claude Monet and Vincent Van Gogh
will be on display.The first iteration of this collective project will be presented at Fondation Beyeler this summer, with subsequent iterations of the interdisciplinary group show being restaged in yet another form in Arles and other LUMA locations.

Globus and Fondation Beyeler Announce Public Art Project:
Julian Charrière Calls for Action
8 June – 6 October 2024, Market Square, Basel
This summer, Swiss-French artist Julian Charrière will transform Basel’s historical department store Globus, currently under renovation, with a boundary pushing artwork that aims to connect visitors across vast distances, bridging mountainous Switzerland with a Western Andean Cloud Forest in Ecuador. A radical intervention in public space, it invites the citizens and visitors of Basel to become participants and protectors, lending their voices to one of Earth’s critical carbon sinks and biodiversity
hotspots.
Calls for Action is the second iteration of the “Globus Public Art Project”. During the three-year renovation of its iconic department store on Basel’s market square, Globus is collaborating with the Fondation Beyeler on inviting artists to conceive and realize new site-specific works of art that engage with the building and the public.
Julian Charrière’s Calls for Action brings together public art with land conservation, opening a live feed between the city of Basel and a Western Andean Cloud Forest in Ecuador to highlight the interconnectivity
of our planet, along with the environmental issues that threaten such vital ecosystems. Featuring a large screen suspended on the department store façade, the project acts as a real-time window into the rich
biodiversity of an endangered ecoregion. Encouraging communication and interaction, a phone booth has been installed on the market square, wherein visitors can pick up a phone to both listen and talk to this far
removed ecosystem. Fostering a more intimate connection between the city and the jungle, Calls for Action thus proposes an encounter beyond mere spectatorship, whereby speaking into the rainforest we can also
speak out on its behalf.Through this collective experience, Julian Charrière seeks to create new planetary bonds beyond the boundaries of our immediate surroundings, showing how art can be a tool for connecting with
environmental issues beyond our everyday lives. In the process it brings to the foreground urgent concerns regarding deforestation, environmental stewardship and the sustainable management of rainforests.
Inherent in the project is not only creating an emotional link to a specific region, but also to make direct donations for conservation efforts there, in this case a cloud forest in Ecuador. Ranked as a biodiversity
hotspot, it is one of 36 sites around the world that has at least 1,500 species of vascular plants that exist nowhere else on Earth, but which has already lost 70% of its primary vegetation. One of the wettest regions
on the planet, it has a high rate of endemic species that occur nowhere else. Habitat to a number of endangered species, it is home to Great Green Macaws, Brown-headed Spider Monkeys, Black-breasted
Pufflegs, White-lipped Peccaries, Harpy Eagles, Banded Ground Cuckoos, Geoffroy’s Tamarins, Tapirs, and Pumas. Beyond being crucial for biodiversity, carbon sequestration and hydrological cycles, cloud forests
such as these represent a vital component of mitigating climate change and maintaining the health of our planet.
The conservation efforts of Calls for Action are facilitated with the support of Art into Acres, an artist-run, non-profit environmental initiative; Re:wild , a global organization supporting environmental causes around
the world; and local collaboration with Fundación de Conservación Jocotoco , an Ecuadorian nongovernmental organization protecting areas of critical importance for the conservation of threatened
species in the region. The installation represents the beginning of a larger effort by the artist to bring awareness to the threats faced by rainforests around the world, run on an environmentally minded solar
panel system, promoting a renewed closeness to the life and liveliness that inhabits these ecosystems.
By using a QR-code within the phone booth, visitors can individually join the fundraising efforts and contribute to protecting the site depicted in the livestream. “Calls for Action is both a playful and critical intervention, showing the importance of emotional connection
to environmental action. Though rainforests act as important carbon sinks and home to vibrant biodiverse communities of life, few people in the Global North have had the opportunity to experience them first-hand.
I wanted to create an opportunity for the public to intimately engage with an ecosystem distant to Basel, and to hear their own voices within it. It is a reminder that our presence is felt even in places we imagine are
remote. Everything is connected, and there is no place that does not feel the consequences of human action, as well as inaction. Calls for Action is an encounter with this reality, but also with the possibility that if we act
with intention, if we put out voices together, we can support and regrow that which might otherwise have been silently lost.”
– Julian Charrière
The “Globus Public Art Project” is an initiative by the Swiss department store Globus, realized in collaboration with the Fondation Beyeler. As part of this cooperation, each year during the three-year renovation of the iconic department store on Basel’s market square, an artist is invited to conceive and realize a work of art for the public space in and around the building. The “Globus Public Art Project” is curated by Samuel Leuenberger.

In Baden-Baden (Germany), Museum Frieder Burda presents Julian Charrière’s Calls for Action as an immersive, participatory installation featuring a second livestream into a Coastal Rainforest in Ecuador as
part of the museum’s 20th anniversary exhibition “I Feel the Earth Whisper” with Bianca Bondi, Julian Charrière, Sam Falls and Ernesto Neto, from 14 June until 3 November 2024. Curated by Patricia Kamp and Jérôme Sans.About Julian Charrière
Julian Charrière (b. 1987) is a French-Swiss artist based in Berlin. A seminal voice in contemporary art, Charrière has been widely exhibited across esteemed institutions and museums around the globe.
Marshalling performance, sculpture and photography, his projects often stem from remote fieldwork in liminal or discarded locations, such as volcanoes, ice fields and radioactive sites. By encountering places
where acute geophysical identities have formed, Charrière speculates on alternative histories, often looking at materials through the lens of deep geological time. Exploring how our ideas of nature have changed from
the Romantic movement into the Anthropocene, his projects deconstruct the cultural traditions which govern how we perceive and represent the natural world.

Matisse – Invitation to the Voyage
In autumn 2024, the Fondation Beyeler in Riehen/Basel will hold the first Henri Matisse retrospective in Switzerland and the German-speaking world in almost 20 years. Featuring over 70 works from major European and American museums and private collections, the exhibition will highlight the development and diversity of the artist’s groundbreaking oeuvre. It will take as its starting point Charles Baudelaire’s poem Invitation to the Vo yage , 1857. Many motifs and key themes of Matisse’s work echo those found
in Baudelaire’s poem. The latest in a long line of unparalleled exhibitions such as “Paul Gauguin”, 2015, “Monet”, 2017, and “The Young Picasso – Blue and Rose Periods”, 2019, “Matisse – Invitation to the Voyage” will be on view at the Fondation Beyeler from 22 September 2024 to 26 January 2025.
Henri Matisse (1869–1954) ranks among the most famous exponents of modern art. His ground-breaking work has profoundly influenced generations of artists, from his contemporaries up to the present day. In
freeing colour from the motif and simplifying forms, he redefined painting and imbued art with a hitherto unknown lightness. Matisse was also an innovator in the realm of sculpture, and in his late cut-outs he
devised a distinctive interplay of painting, drawing and sculpture.
The exhibition will span the full range of the artist’s career. Beginning with the early works created around 1900, it will move on to the revolutionary paintings of Fauvism and the experimental works of the 1910s,
the sensual paintings of the Nice period and the 1930s, before culminating in the legendary cut-outs of the 1940s and 1950s. The wealth of significant paintings, sculptures and paper cut-outs on display will hold up
to view the development and the range of Matisse’s unique body of work.
Curated by Raphaël Bouvier, the exhibition will bring together iconic as well as seldom displayed works from major European and American museums and private collections, such as Centre Pompidou, Paris;
National Gallery, Washington; Museum of Modern Art, New York; K20, Dusseldorf; and Baltimore Museum of Art. Key paintings will include The Dinner Table (La Desserte) , 1897; Luxury, Peace and Pleasure ( Luxe,
calme et volupté ), 1904; The Open Window, Collioure ( La fenêtre ouverte , Collioure), 1905; Luxury I (Le Luxe I) , 1907; Bathers with a Turtle ( Baigneuses à la tortue ), 1907/08; Decorative Figure on an Ornamental
Background (Figure décorative sur fond ornemental) , 1925/26; Large Reclining Nude (Grand nu couché
[Nu rose]), 1935; Red interior, still life on blue table (Intérieur rouge, nature morte sur table bleue) , 1947; and Blue Nude I (Nu bleu I), 1952.
The exhibition takes as its starting point Charles Baudelaire’s poem Invitation to the Voyage , 1857, which Matisse repeatedly referred to. Its poetic leitmotifs of luxury, peace and pleasure («luxe, calme et volupté»)
are guiding principles of Matisse’s work and capture the very essence of his artistic output. Following Baudelaire’s poem, the exhibition at the Fondation Beyeler is thus conceived as a journey through Matisse’s work and life, in which travel played an important part. The exhibition thus invites viewers on a journey through Matisse’s singular work and life, shaped by numerous travels. During his explorations of countries such as Italy, Spain and Morocco or as far as Tahiti, the artist found ever-renewed inspiration in
the nature and art of other cultures.
