Susanne König and Vanessa Simili were commissioned by the Christoph Merian Foundation’s Atelier Mondial with curating the bursary exhibition in the Dreispitz area of Basel. A new exhibition space was brought to life for the first time with the international group exhibition of 20 different positions. The commission also included the research, concept and the selection of works, as well as texts, publication, exhibition structure, the address at the opening and an interview with an artist.
