filter4 is a former slow filter plant on the Bruderholz, built in 1903/05 by the Basel architects Fischer & Fueter. The plant is 1600 m² in size and consists of two chambers of 800 m² each. The plant was closed in 2006 because the city of Basel was using less water. The current operator, the “filter4 culture affairs” association, has converted the facility into a seasonal exhibition venue for modern and contemporary art with a focus on sculpture, installation, projection and performance.
At 2 pm, Thomas Meier (IWB) and Fredi Hadorn (filter4 association) will give a guided tour of the old reservoir and filter 4. Afterwards, both rooms can be visited free of charge. The bar in Filter 4 will be open from 14:30.
