SPECIAL SATELLITE PROJECTS AND PARTNER COLLABORATIONS/
As part of the Special Satellite Program, V Over M digital presented 100 newly minted Chromie Squiggles by Snow-fro (Erick Calderon) in a unique, free-standing cube installation designed by digital printing specialists, Infinite Objects. The 100 works presented in Basel were from the May 2022 Mint of 310 Chromie Squiggles executed with V Over M digital, the largest portion of Chromie Squiggles to be minted since public minting was paused in January 2021. This was also the first time that Chromie Squiggles have been minted for an exhibition at a global contemporary art and design venue, fostering engagement between fine art, design, and digital collecting audiences.

Milan-based Galleria Antonella Villanova’s Special Satellite highlighted the work of Diego Cibelli, presenting a selection of pieces from his series Meditation in an Emergency, which was first conceived in 2020 during the pandemic. The three, one-of-a-kind thrones made entirely of ceramics, through the assemblage of over 50 crafted elements for each piece, explored the dynamics of rituality and authority in both private and public spheres.

At Design Miami/ Basel, the National Gallery of Victoria acquired one of Cibelli’s thrones for the permanent collection. Senior Curator of Contemporary Art, Design, and Architecture Ewan McEoin said “It was great to be back at Design Miami / Basel after not traveling for so long. It was a wonderful opportunity to reconnect with colleagues, be inspired and keep up to date with collectible design. Acquiring new work for the NGV collection is always a highlight of these trips. There is nothing like seeing new, ambitious design works in the flesh”.

The Art and Culture Development Foundation of the Republic of Uzbekistan presented at Design Miami/ Basel for the first time with an exhibition entitled Object of Architecture, serving as the international unveiling of its new Center for Contemporary Art. The renovation of a historic building in Tashkent by French Studio KO is due to open in 2023. Joseph Walsh returned to Design Miami/ Basel, presenting an assemblage of works titled Material Culture.

Downstairs, visitors were greeted by an immersive installation presented by Superblue, who returned to Design Miami/ Basel for the second year, taking over the 2500sqm ground floor event hall of the Messeplatz. Pulse Topology, the latest artwork by pioneering Mexican-Canadian artist Rafael Lozano-Hemmer’s from the ongoing Pulse Series. Composed of 6,000 lightbulbs suspended at different heights, custom-made pulse sensors recorded visitor heartbeats; as a new participant interacted with the installation each lightbulb glimmered to the pulse.

Audi Germany was also present at this year’s fair as a partner for the all-electric shuttle service around Basel. In the entrance to the Messeplatz, guests to the fair were also able to view the Audi e-tron GT quattro, which shows how electric mobility is becoming dynamic and fascinating through the Audi brand’s passion for details.
