The eighth issue of “Raumfahrt” features three artistic practices that explore intimacy: those of Nefeli Chrysa Avgeris (b. 1993, Basel), Paula Santomé (b. 1994, Spain), and Sina Schöpf (b. 1994, Bern). A fundamental human need that is both more present and, at the same time, more elusive in a digitized, individualized society. More and more is being shared through digital channels, and the private sphere is shifting into a (semi-)public space. This elicits a range of reactions: a longing for privacy, criticism of the loss of physical presence, new forms of relationships, and new conceptions of closeness. The exhibition shows how intimacy is experienced, negotiated, and made visible in diverse ways today—as something plural, fragile, and deeply human.
In 2026, the “Raumfahrt” exhibition series will also continue; since 2017, it has been showcasing young Swiss contemporary art in the museum’s basement rooms. A new space will be added in 2026: The adjacent drying room will now serve as an exhibition space, replacing the former laundry room, which will once again function as an art education studio. It was refurbished as part of the overall renovation to showcase contemporary art and houses a historic recirculating air system for drying laundry.
