Kunsttage Basel: Friday, 30 August–Sunday, 1 September, 11 am–6 pm

This year at Kunsttage Basel we will open a solo exhibition with works by the Dutch artist Jacqueline de Jong, who sadly recently passed away at the age of 85. She was widely known for her contribution to the European avant-garde of the 1960s, most notably the Situationist International (SI) and Gruppe SPUR. When de Jong was excluded from the SI, along with the other visual artists, she founded the periodical The Situationist Times. Her work explored the violence, banality, eroticism and humour of human interaction. Painting has been the foundation of her practice, which also encompasses drawing, sculpture, printmaking, jewellery and artist books.
