Philipp Brogli's gallery Artstübli at Steinentorberg brings together the threads of the Swiss urban art scene. Since 2004 he has created a platform with Artstübli that depicts all contemporary facets of urban art and culture, from Graffiti to Street Art. Artstübli became a gallery in 2014 and moved in a 125 m2 prime space into the circular buildings of the Markthalle Basel. In addition to specially curated exhibitions Brogli conveys and coordinates projects like  space facade paintings, interior design, event appearances, but also guerrilla actions and interventions, to guided tours in public spaces.

Urban art includes a spectrum of highly diverse subcultural currents of the last 30 years. Terms such as graffiti, lowbrow, street art or comic art merge with classical ideas of art. They are reinterpreted and get new context through variations based on unconventional means of design. After having spent decades in the underground of hip hop and skateboard culture, urban art has now found its way into public consciousness, the media, worldwide urban art festivals and the gallery scene. This development is greeted with enthusiasm by both the younger generation and, to an increasing extent, renowned art collectors*.
