PROFILE

White Frame (WF) produces and curates exhibitions and screenings, providing artists with greater visibility for their art. Established in 2011 in Basel, Switzerland, our non-profit, nomadic association operates primarily at the intersection of video art and cinema. We aim to build national and international networks and foster collaborations. We initiate and implement projects, facilitating exchanges between Swiss and international artists, institutions, independent curators, festival programmers, writers, and the public.

WHO WE ARE

Chantal Molleur: After working for more than two decades in the Canadian media arts field, during which she was involved in distribution and exhibition production, Chantal Molleur co-established White Frame several years after moving to Switzerland in 2005. Since the inception of White Frame, she has curated more than 45 media art projects, comprising both screenings and exhibitions. Her primary focus is on moving images, intermittently exploring the worlds of photography and sound art. In addition to her curatorial role, she mentors students in film and art, providing promotional plans and distribution support to graduates of the Lucerne School of Art and Design in Switzerland. Molleur has further contributed to the arts community by serving on the boards of directors and grant juries for art institutions in both Switzerland and Canada.
