Elena Filipovic - A museum, not a cemetery

The Kunstmuseum Basel has always been a place of dialogue—and sometimes controversy.

In 1967, Basel came together to save two Picassos. A decade later, the acquisition of a Joseph Beuys work sparked fierce protests and debate.

The guest of the latest episode of one.voice, Director Elena Filipovic carries this spirit forward, exploring how museums can remain places of exchange, participation, and new ideas.

In conversation with Fabian, Elena shares her journey from Los Angeles to Basel, her passion for Marcel Duchamp and her vision for the museum of the future.

The conversation is in English
