KILIAN RÜTHERMANN

Within the Artist-in-Residence Program, CCA is delighted to host artist Kilian Rüthemann. Born in 1979 in Bütschwil, Switzerland, he went to the School of Art and Design of Basel from 2002 to 2005 after working as a stone sculptor in Zuzwil for five years. His aesthetic is minimalistic and he often use industrial materials. He is interested in the playing and exploration of the places structure and carries out on-site installations where he targets architectural and sculptural interventions. His works combine themes of power and urgency with a sensible absurdity. He currently lives and works in Basel and will be staying in Studio Azul during July 2023.
