ABOUT US

Basemental is a curatorial agency and production house working across contemporary music, audiovisual performances and new media practices. We work with forward-thinking artists, festivals and cultural institutions to develop and present projects built on an equal dialogue between sound, image and space.

Curation

We design and curate programs for festivals, museums and cultural venues, shaping tailored narratives that connect music, media arts and site-specific contexts such as architectural spaces, heritage sites and natural environments.

Advisory & Booking

We support artists, festivals and creative agencies through strategic advisory, international booking and project development. Our work focuses on high-quality performances, interdisciplinary collaborations and innovative presentation formats.

Creative Productions

We produce live shows, multimedia performances and installations with a strong aesthetic identity. Our work focuses on supporting artists in the development and realization of their projects, through artistic coordination, production planning and the identification of partners and budgets. Each production is shaped through close dialogue with the artists, with attention to creative direction, technological precision and audience experience.

Artistic Vision

We collaborate with artists who have a strong artistic identity and a clear artistic stance, each contributing a distinct perspective to Basemental’s curatorial landscape. Our aim is to present works capable of creating a meaningful impact

Collaborations

Basemental works across an international network of cultural institutions and festivals, with past collaborations including Barbican Centre, Triennale Milano, MUTEK, Spoleto Festival dei Due Mondi, Terraforma, Romaeuropa Festival, LEV Festival, Palazzo Grassi and others.
Over the years, we have also presented projects by internationally recognised artists including Oneohtrix Point Never, Alva Noto, Boredoms, Caterina Barbieri, Holly Herndon, James Ferraro and Dean Blunt.

Sustainability

We support low-impact production models and encourage slow mobility whenever possible, adapting our practices to sustainable touring and long-term collaborations. Basemental also maintains a zero-tolerance policy towards any form of discrimination, harassment or violence.
