Re-Connect · AWAKEN Salon - Paula Fraile at The Core
the core
Müllheimerstrasse 148, 4057 Basel
Paula Fraile turns The Core into a light-activated room of colour & sound. DJ sets by Yoav Naveh & Ramona Wouters. A room you enter, not an exhibition.
As the city condenses during Art Basel week, AWAKEN opens a space. Re-Connect is the first station of a three-part trilogy by the painter and muralist Paula Fraile (studio in Leipzig), in co-creation with Solveig Steinmeier. Over the weekend of the summer solstice, The Core in Basel-Kleinhüningen becomes a walk-through, light-activated space of colour, sound and encounter - not an exhibition you visit, but a room you enter.
We open the doors of The Core to enjoy art with time and space, connected. Over three days, Paula Fraile transforms the building, presenting small-format works and site-specific interventions across its three floors. Her work investigates how colour, light and composition can transform the perception of space - working with mixed media (oil, acrylic, collage, fluorescent pigments and light) to activate hidden layers of reality and create immersive atmospheres.
Three days, three movements:
Friday 19 June, Opening
The public salon evening. The opening of the exhibition, accompanied by an artist talk with Paula Fraile, two live DJ sets by Yoav Naveh and Ramona Wouters, and a bar. Artworks are available throughout. Max 50 guests.
Saturday 20 June, Workshops
"Painting with Paula" - an embodied approach to colour, material and perception - alongside embodied movement with Solveig Steinmeier. The painting workshop unfolds in three phases: a group opening around the question "when was the last time you painted?", a connection with materials, and a final image. Open to anyone who wants to reconnect with painting; materials are included, just wear comfortable clothes. Accompanied by a live DJ set throughout. Max 25 guests.
Sunday 21 June, Summer Solstice
Paula's painting workshop once more, and the day closes with a solstice ceremony marking the longest day of the year. Throughout the building, her works fill the three floors. Open to anyone who wants to reconnect with painting; materials are included. Accompanied by a live DJ set throughout. Max 25 guests.
Each day can be attended separately. Combination tickets are available, and trilogy passes for all three stations of the AWAKEN Salon (Re-Connect in June, Re-Play in July, Re-Shift in December).
