Research contributions to Basel artists
For the first time, the city of Basel has awarded open-ended research grants to creative artists. They contribute to the implementation of the "Tip Initiative" and enable new ideas to be developed independently of a concrete end product.
The new funding instrument contributes to the gradual implementation of the so-called "tip initiative". At the end of 2020, the voters of Basel voted in favor of at least five percent of the regular cultural budget - symbolically: the tip - flowing into Basel's active youth and alternative culture in all sectors.
An interdisciplinary jury examined 264 applications. Of these, 29 projects are currently being supported with one-off grants of between 5,000 and 20,000 francs. These include, for example, CHF 5,000 for a research project entitled "Experimental sound sculptures and musical instruments" by Gabriel Kleber, CHF 10,000 for a research project entitled "Musikalischer Gehör-Gang der Bilder" by the collective WG Utopia (Ingrid Adler and Roger Egli) and CHF 10,000 for "clash of patterns - hierarchical structures in music-making" by Mira Pozzi and Xenia Wiener.
