532 Gallery Thomas Jaeckel Presents “On a Bit of Earth Which Had No Name” Group Exhibition of Seven Young Emerging International Artists During Kunsttage Basel 2026 532 Gallery Thomas Jaeckel is pleased to present On a Bit of Earth Which Had No Name, a group exhibition of seven young emerging international artists whose works examine memory, place, and heritage through material transformation and cultural satire. The exhibition coincides with Kunsttage Basel 2026 (28–30 August) and continues through 17 October, offering a timely reflection on hybrid identities and obscured legacies in an era of global flux. In a fluid world of shifting identities—echoing the satirical displacements in Saadat Hasan Manto’s stories of Partition and migration—these artists uncover suppressed narratives, blending introspection with sharp critique to reframe cultural inheritance. Working across painting, sculpture, and drawing, they treat form itself as a site of transformation, where personal and collective memory is carried, folded, eroded, or playfully subverted. Participating artists: Alberto Alejandro Rodríguez, Z.T. Nguyễn, Morgan Ogilvie, Shuto Mizukami, Koji Nakamura, Michael Wang, and Selin Nisa Açıkel. Exhibition Dates: 28 August – 17 October 2026 Opening Hours Tuesday–Friday 14:00–18:00 Saturday 13:00–17:00 Sunday 30 August only: 13:00–17:00 (Kunsttage Basel) Reception & Artist Talk Sunday 30 August, from 13:00 Artist talk at 14:00–14:30 (official Kunsttage tour stop) Location: Hammerstrasse 121, 4057 Basel, Switzerland Collector previews and private appointments welcome throughout the run.
