Fine Arts alumna Gina Folly receives the Manor Art Prize Basel 2023, which is awarded every second year to young Swiss artists.
Gina Folly was born in Zurich in 1983. She works in Basel and Paris. In her paintings, sculptures and installations, she addresses the relationship between humans and nature. She questions everyday notions of naturalness and artificiality as well as private and public space. From 2013 to 2020, she ran the Taylor Macklin art space in Zurich. The Fondation Fimico in Paris and the annual external project of Kunsthaus Baselland dedicated solo exhibitions to her in 2021 and 2019. In addition, there were group exhibitions and prizes in Paris, New York or Switzerland.
The Manor Art Prize Basel is endowed with CHF 15,000 and the artist will receive a solo exhibition at the Kunstmuseum Basel, scheduled for February 2023.
