ABOUT US
Curatorial Agency & Production House
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 sustainable artistic development.
Creative Productions
We produce live shows, multimedia performances and installations with a strong aesthetic identity. We support artists throughout 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 and all involved stakeholders.
Artists
We work with artists who have a strong artistic identity and a clear vision.
Our aim is to present works capable of creating a meaningful impact across different contexts — from festivals and clubs to churches and other unconventional or site-specific venues.
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.
