Art Faire

Premier line-up of galleries at Art Basel’s 2018 edition in Basel

Art Faire

The Statements sector presents 18 exciting solo projects by emerging artists and will include ten first-time galleries: White Space Beijing, Jan Kaps, Sandy Brown, Antoine Levi, mor charpentier, Madragoa, Freedman Fitzpatrick, Croy Nielsen, Carlos/Ishikawa and Essex Street. Several projects in Statements address socio-political issues: Deborah Schamoni will unveil an installation by Flaka Haliti (b. 1982), hosting a robot composed of found objects from KFOR military camps in Kosovo; Antoine Levi will present ‘Ark’ by Alina Chaiderov (b. 1984), a metaphor of the artist’s journey of exile from her homeland Russia to Sweden in 1990; mor charpentier will present a new work by Lawrence Abu Hamdan (b. 1985), composed of a video installation and an ‘acoustic‘ painting featuring interactive visual footage and audio recordings made at the Israeli-Syrian border in the Golan Heights; JTT will dedicate their booth to a large meat-rack installation by Doreen Garner (b. 1986), referencing medical experiments on enslaved black women in the United States in the mid-1800s; and Experimenter will present a series of new sculptures by Rathin Barman (b. 1981), who works with architectural forms to explore the history of migrants in Kolkata.

White Space Beijing will feature the project ‘Sound Diet’ by Christine Sun Kim (b. 1980) who was born deaf and explores the relationship between sound, written and spoken languages. At Stigter Van Doesburg Helen Verhoeven (b. 1974) presents her work entitled ‘Church 1’ (2012), while at Mary Mary, an installation by Ektor Garcia (b. 1985) will be presented, which combines the artist’s exploration of craft traditions and themes of Mexican and queer culture.

Further highlights from Statements include a film by Stuart Middleton (b. 1987), reimagining the motorway network as a deindustrialized, transient residential zone inhabited by nomadic communities presented by Carlos/Ishikawa; and The Box’s presentation of new works by Naotaka Hiro (b. 1972), depicting the artist's spatial, aesthetic and psychological relationship to his own body. Essex Street will premier three photographic works by Sara Deraedt (b. 1984), an artist who only ever exhibits each of her works once. Galeria Madragoa will feature a frieze by Rodrigo Hernández (b. 1983) consisting of hand hammered metal panels. For a full list of projects, please visit artbasel.com/basel/statements. The 20th Baloise Art Prize will be awarded to up to two artists exhibiting in Statements, with recipients being announced during the show. The Baloise Group acquires works by the award-winning artists and donates them to two leading European museums, which will hold solo exhibitions for the recipients of the award. This year's show will introduce a new site for the Unlimited sector, taking place for the first time on the upper floor of Hall 1. Art Basel's unique platform for projects that transcend the limitations of a traditional art-fair stand, Unlimited is curated for the seventh year by Gianni Jetzer, Curator-at-Large at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington DC. Further details will be released in the coming months.

Parcours, a sector presenting site-specific sculptures, interventions and performances by renowned international artists and emerging talents, presented by Art Basel galleries, will return for its ninth edition to the old city of Basel, and is curated for the third time by Samuel Leuenberger, founder of the non-profit exhibition space SALTS in Birsfelden, Switzerland. Further details will be released in the coming months.

A Creative Time project has been commissioned by Art Basel for the Messeplatz in Basel this year. Further details will be released in the coming months. Screened at Stadtkino Basel, Art Basel's Film program, features films by and about artists, and is curated for the fourth consecutive year by Cairo-based film curator and art lecturer Maxa Zoller. In addition, Marian Masone, New York-based film curator will select a feature film for a special screening during the show week. Further details will be released in the coming months.
