Bring YourOwn Beamer (BYOB) in Basel
BYOB is a
one-night-only exhibition initiated by Rafaël Rozendaal (*1980). Realized for
the first time in Berlin in 2010, over 80 BYOB events have taken place all over
the world, in cities like Paris, London, Manchester, Boston or New York City.
The event
only takes place during one night and its unique DIY-style attracts both local
and international artists who enjoy experimenting with film and new media.
Organized by the House of Electronic Arts Basel, BYOB Basel will be the first
staging of the event in the German-speaking part of Switzerland.
As part of
the Oslo Night 2013
BYOB Basel
is staged as part of the Oslo Night, a one-night festival at the Dreispitz site
that first took place in September 2012 as a collaboration with all cultural
institutions situated at Oslostrasse. These include the House of Electronic
Arts Basel, the art space OSLO10, OSLO 8 contemporary photography, the
international artist exchange programme iaab, Radio X and the photo laboratory
Pascale Brügger and TRISUL.
On August
24, 2013, the actors at Oslostrasse will once again open their doors to a wide
public and turn the street into a festival site. Exhibitions, performances,
workshops, concerts and a party are planned, touching upon the subject of “web
culture” and the “sharing phenomenon” and also celebrating the transformation
of a former industrial area into a cultural hub.
