Our Association
White Frame (WF) produces and curates exhibitions and screenings, offering artists increased visibility for their work. Established in 2011 in Basel, Switzerland, our non-profit, nomadic association operates at the intersection of media arts and visual arts, with a primary focus on media-based practices. We aim to develop national and international networks and foster collaborative partnerships. We initiate and implement projects, facilitating exchanges between Swiss and international artists, institutions, independent curators, festival programmers, writers, and the public.
