Basel 2012

ArtBasel 2012

16 June 2012

Switzerland is just around the corner, so take your little European car and drive a few km to get to Basel this weekend, the village that hosts one of the best international contemporary art fairs... and it ends on Sunday so better hurry!

Not just for those 300+ galleries from all across the globe but for the tons of other activities and events happening at the same time during the weekend, like the presentation of Alison Klayman’s feature-length film on three years in the life of Ai Weiwei or our locally admired Madrilian artist Santiago Sierra talking this Sunday in Arte Povera Today.

Not included in the featured list this year but JLG will be present too and a very curated 18-artist program for this year which includes Alex Gross, Brett Amory REVOK or Victor Castillo…

Maybe you should think about moving to Switzerland from now on, not Zurich, not Lausanne.. but Basel just for their summer Art events. The rest of the art program… this way please.
