Basel Social Club 2026
TBA will make its debut at Basel Social Club 2026, presenting a focused display of new works by Polish artist Michał Maliński, created specifically for the venue.
The presentation explores the subtle forms of pressure that shape contemporary life, examining the fragile space between aspiration and exhaustion, and the limits of what a body—or a person—can bear.

Michał Maliński
Born in 1997 in Gorzów Wielkopolski, he is a visual artist working with photography, painting, and digital media. He is a graduate of the Faculty of Graphic Arts at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków (2022) and co-founder of the Szaber collective and gallery.
His practice explores the impact of social media and consumer culture on human perception and emotion. He is interested in the aesthetics of decay, the ephemerality of the image, and strategies for escaping reality. His works balance between the dream of the algorithm and the documentation of everyday life, between the glorification of fleeting moments and their gradual disintegration.
