Kunsthalle Basel presents the opening of Shuang Li’s first institutional solo exhibition in Europe, “Alliance” on Thursday, June 11th, 2026 at 7 p.m.
The exhibition is generously supported by Octone Foundation , Cc Foundation, and Simian Foundation, with additional support from Esther Maria Heer-Zacek.
In her first institutional solo exhibition in Europe, Shuang Li premieres her most ambitious film installation to date. She engages with extreme weather phenomena and the practice of storm chasing, the targeted pursuit and observation of severe weather, especially thunderstorms, tornadoes, and hurricanes. Situated within global networks where climate volatility, algorithmic systems, and capitalist extraction operate across borders, Li approaches storm chasing as a powerful metaphor for navigating the swirling forces that define life in the digital age.
The exhibition brings together a series of co-commissions and partnerships with JD Museum, Shenzhen, CN; Yenn and Alan Lo Foundation, Singapore, SG; Busan Biennale, Busan, KR and CHERUBY, Shanghai, CN.
About Kunsthalle Basel
Radical, curious, and always ahead of the curve. Kunsthalle Basel is one of the leading institutions for contemporary art in Europe and beyond. It pushes boundaries, gives space to new, bold voices, and always places the artists at the center.
Since 1839, the Basler Kunstverein hasn’t just shown art; it has continually redefined it. With an unwavering commitment to emerging artists, the Basler Kunstverein initiated the construction of Kunsthalle Basel, which opened its doors to the public in 1872. To this day, Kunsthalle Basel continues to bring groundbreaking artistic positions to the forefront, long before they make it big elsewhere.
