Open Call: Survival Rituals
📣
Basel Art Week 2026
14–20 June 2026
Basel Art Center
Rebgasse 31, 4058 Basel, Switzerland
👇
Organized by Basel Art Center, TuAsho Agency (Basel) and Rukh Art Hub (New York)

Rukh Art Hub, TuAsho Agency and Basel Art Center announce an international open call for participation in the exhibition SURVIVAL RITUALS, taking place during Basel Art Week 2026 — one of the most important global events in contemporary art, gathering leading collectors, curators, critics, galleries and institutions from around the world.
👁️‍🗨️
Concept
SURVIVAL RITUALS explores the condition of living in a world suspended between collapse and transformation. No longer moving through crisis, we are learning how to exist inside it. The exhibition focuses on liminality — the state of being “between worlds” — where old systems have already dissolved, while new realities remain undefined.

The project investigates the rituals people invent in order to endure uncertainty: technological dependence and emotional isolation, fragile forms of connection, bodily vulnerability, memory, myth, survival and transformation.

The conceptual anchor of the exhibition is the work of H. R. Giger, whose biomechanical vision anticipated today’s blurred boundaries between human, machine and psychological reality.

The exhibition will also feature works by Nina Murashkina (in collaboration with Xavier Escala), Artem Humilevskyi, Myriam De Wurstemberger, WaOne (Interesni Kazki) and other international contemporary artists.
👁️‍🗨️
We invite artists working in all contemporary media, including:
Painting

🇨🇭Rukh Art Hub returns to VOLTA Art Fair in Basel with Goddess (2026), a new work by Nina Murashkina and Xavier Escala.
👇
Wood, ceramics and brass
123 × 132 × 35 cm open
123 × 45 × 52 cm closed
🖊️
Since 2018, Murashkina and Escala have been developing a shared artistic language that moves between body, myth, memory and sacred form. In Goddess, the human body becomes a temple inhabited by feminine divinity.
▪️
The work is inspired by medieval Shrine Madonnas, sculptures that were often destroyed because their image of the Virgin containing the smaller masculine Trinity challenged established patriarchal interpretations of Christianity and the role of women within it.
👁️‍🗨️
Goddess responds to this historical erasure through a contemporary visual language, reclaiming the symbolic and sacred power of femininity.
🎟️
Preview tickets are limited.

♣️ On the third day after the opening of the Venice Biennale, I chose to stay away from the crowds and spend time reflecting on the experience of “In Minor Keys” and on how successfully the curatorial team carried forward the vision of Koyo Kouoh, who passed away from cancer a year ago.
👁️‍🗨️
For me, this Biennale feels deeply connected to questions of life, vulnerability, memory, ritual, and the things that become truly important when everything else suddenly loses meaning.
🐈‍⬛
In my view, the idea of “minor keys” is not about sadness, but about polyphony, a space where the main melody matters less than the resonance created between different voices.
🖊️
The exhibition becomes truly resonant through rituality, craftsmanship, hybrid bodies, sculptural objects, and Afro diasporic visual language, all brought together in a deeply emotional and sensory experience.
✔️
At the same time, the radical Austrian Pavilion and the political actions surrounding the Russian and Israeli pavilions make this Biennale especially tense, political, and unforgettable.

I believe every visitor finds something personal within this Biennale. My own preference leans toward emotional and visual storytelling, works that do not require long explanatory texts, though I equally acknowledge the importance of intellectual interpretation for other viewers.
▪️
I also appreciated the curatorial team’s subtle and thoughtful connections between Giardini and Arsenale, which could be clearly felt throughout the exhibition.
🖊️
In Arsenale, the pavilions of India, Mexico, Azerbaijan, and Italy stood out most strongly for me, along with the main Arsenale exhibition itself.
♣️
In Giardini, my personal choices were the Nordic Pavilion and Brazil.

Particular attention was drawn to the powerful sculptural works of Wangechi Mutu and Nick Cave, while the Nordic Pavilion became, in my view, a perfect example of an emotional artistic statement.

♣️ La Biennale Arte is often approached as a sequence of exhibitions, yet it operates as a carefully constructed system.

This post outlines how it is structured, from the Giardini with its national pavilions and the Central Pavilion to the historical logic behind its formation.
👁️‍🗨️
What appears as a cultural event reveals itself as a model of representation, where architecture, politics, and curatorial thinking intersect.
🖊️
In the next post, we will look at the Arsenale and other exhibition sites across the city, where the Biennale unfolds in a different way.

🖊️ There are events that do not remain in the past. They reshape how we see the world. The explosion at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant is one of them.

As founders of Rukh Art Hub, we have, at different times, worked as project managers of the International Triennial of Ecological Poster “The 4th Block.” Today we run our own projects, but remain connected to this initiative, as do other members of the team.
Forty years later, Chornobyl is not only a disaster story, but a reminder of the limits of control and responsibility. In a world once again defined by tension, the nuclear threat no longer feels theoretical.

The Association of Graphic Designers The 4th Block, founded in 1991 by Oleg Veklenko, continues this work. Its key initiative, the International Triennial of Ecological Poster “The 4th Block,” has been running for 35 years through a network of team members and volunteers.
The project Nuclear Scar Past Present Future extends this dialogue. Around 700 submissions and 412 selected posters by authors from 49 countries form a visual field that confronts rather than comforts, with exhibitions from Kharkiv, Lviv, Kyiv, Graz, Potsdam, Berlin, Montreal, Dresden and other cities.

Today is the Earth day…A perfect day to remind about Black Earth by Polina Kuznetsova .ua
🖊️

I don’t know anything about this land,
I want to taste it to the fullest!
History is a primary science.

What can we say about the days of the past, especially if there is no evidence?

Especially if all the evidence was missing.
Dry facts and figures make history sketchy; Subjective, emotional assessments transform reality into an artistic form.
+
“Black Earth” delves into a profound duality of chernozem, aka black soil that symbolizes both decay and rebirth. Drawing on biblical, historical, and cultural narratives, the show reveals to the viewer the fertile yet haunting powers that lie beneath the earth that can be a source of nourishment and a final resting place.
