Information about Mediathek HGK FHNW
Since 2015, the Mediathek has combined the media holdings of the Institutes of Art, Industrial Design, Interior Design and Scenography, Fashion, Visual Communication, Post-Industrial Design (Hyperwerk), Integrative Design | Master Studio as well as the research institutes Institute for Experimental Design and Media Cultures and Institute for Aesthetic Practice and Theory. In 2017, the Mediathek won the "Future Shapers in Libraries 2017" award (Zukunftsgestalter in Bibliotheken 2017) for its Integrated Catalogue (InK I) because, in addition to the holdings listed in NEBIS, it also connected open access sources and the HGK's special collections via a single search.
With the system change to SLSP, the InK was also adapted. It is mobile first, follows the AMP principles and currently makes the digital special collections of the Mediathek accessible. Take a look for yourself.

The Mediathek parts ways with some of its duplicates and gifts, including journals, magazines, specialist books, catalogs, classic fiction and non-fiction. Book amateurs, bookworms and book enthusiasts can all find interesting media – as long as stocks last.
Far more than a «common library», the media library combines reading room, learning space and freehand magazine into an appealing place for knowledge exploration. Instead of classic rows of shelves, book boxes are arranged in a loose composition so that the learning landscape reflects its local surrounding.

Videowochen Wenkenpark
In the 1980s, the Video Weeks in Wenkenpark at Riehen close to Basel formed an international forum for video art. It focused on the needs of the time with a focus on the production, training, mediation and presentation of video works, installations and performances. The events provided significant impetus and contributed to the establishment of the medium in the context of art. The media library has opened up the resulting video works with the support of Memoriav and now makes them permanently digitally accessible.
Performance Chronik Basel 1987-2006
The collection of the Performance Chronicle Basel consists of video documentations of live performances, which took place between 1987 and 2006. For the second publication "Recording and Recollecting" (Diaphanes Verlag 2016) of a former research project those illuminating two decades of the performance history were recollected and edited. Since the material was personally collected and digitized directly by the artists, the collection is sketchy and should be updated continuously.
Summe 2017
Under the sign Σ - for sum - non-institutional, non-commercial exhibition places of the Basel region came together for an offspace exhibition. "Project spaces", off * and * artist run ** Spaces **,> independent art projects <and curatorial collectives and other initiatives formed in November 2017 the sum of art and presented for the third time in succession as a joint exhibition event. The Mediathek HGK has shown the submissions during the sum and may continue to make a large number of artistic positions accessible.
