Palazzina

Palazzina was founded in 2019 by Noemi Pfister and Victoria Holdt at Schweizergasse 2 in Basel, as both an artists’ house and a non-profit exhibition space for contemporary art.

Palazzina is characterised by the interweaving of living space and exhibition space. Several exhibition projects realised so far with established and younger positions took place in three different houses—located in Schweizergasse (2019-2020), Alemannengasse (2020-2022) and Baslerstrasse (2022-2024)—, each of which also served as a home for the members.

Another project is Palazzina On Foot, where the team built a flexible pavilion that can be adapted to a variety of exhibition situations regardless of a fixed location. The aim of this approach is to continually rethink exhibition displays and formats and to enter into dialogue with a diverse audience.
