Invited by Basel Social Club, Protoplast participates in the fifth edition, titled “Office,” June 14–20, 2026, presented by Kaiserwache (Freiburg im Breisgau). Founded in 2022, the non-profit initiative has become one of the most anticipated events during Art Basel week, each year transforming an unconventional site into a space for exhibitions, performances, and social exchange.

Invited by Porrum, Protoplast shows a small group of oil paintings inside Basel’s Markthalle. The show complements Protoplast’s large aluminum piece at Basel Social Club 2026 — a short walk across the street, and Protoplast appears again, this time at Porrum. On view through the end of August, including Kunsttage Basel.

Protoplast is invited by curator and art handler Ben Beugger to participate in the group show Kunst im Büro with four other artists. The concept builds a network from the ground up, where art becomes part of daily life. The spaces are offices, meeting points, and living environments at once, showing contemporary art in a setting that is lived in. The opening takes place on June 5, 2026 at 5:15 pm.

A new poster project by the Basel-based artist collective Protoplast is presented in collaboration with Galerie Sammlung Amann, Stuttgart. Five motifs, each derived from Protoplast’s oil paintings, are translated into F4 and F200 poster formats and displayed on 25 billboards around Messeplatz Basel – in front of and alongside the exhibition halls of ART BASEL and LISTE. Visible in public space June 8–22, 2026, with a possible extension. Available as editions through Galerie Sammlung Amann, Stuttgart.

Protoplast has been invited to participate in Kunsttage Basel, taking place from August 28 to 30, 2026. The presentation will be hosted by an independent project space in Basel. Kunsttage Basel is a temporary network of around 60 institutions and spaces, presenting a diverse program of modern and contemporary art across the region. Further details will be announced here as they become available.

A group exhibition titled “Strictly Collective”, bringing together five artist collectives, will be hosted by FABRIKculture in Alsace in October 2026, curated by Benny Kammüller with Clément Stehlin, director of FABRIKculture.

CANK in Berlin-Neukölln is pleased to present a solo exhibition by Protoplast, curated by Fabian Braunbeck. Housed in a former department store on Karl-Marx-Straße, the striking late-modernist building has become an iconic landmark in the vibrant neighborhood of Neukölln. With its generous, expansive exhibition spaces spanning several floors, the venue provides a distinctive and architecturally ambitious setting for contemporary artistic positions. On the second floor, Protoplast will present a new body of works specifically developed for this exhibition, engaging with the unique spatial qualities of the historic building.

The filmmaker and artist Marcel Scheible is working on a documentary called "Merkwürdige Dreiecke" about a notorious geographic triangle in Basel, including scenes about Protoplast.

The development of this documentary is supported by institutions such as the "Fachausschuss Film und Medienkunst der Kantone Basel-Stadt und Basel-Landschaft". More details will be posted here as they become available.

In spring 2027, curator Mirela Stoeac-Vlăduți at META Spațiu in Timișoara will present new works by the Protoplast artist collective.

The exhibition opens on Thursday, March 11, 2027.

Petra Noll-Hammerstiel has invited Protoplast to present a new exhibition at KORRIDOR – Raum für aktuelle Kunst in Vienna from 14 April 2027.
