Public Art Projects at Messeplatz, Basel

Public Art Projects - Art | 39 | Basel

Back in Basel for the 39th Art Fair and everything is buzzing. The first that meets you when arriving at the Messeplatz ais the Public Art Project. Ten works by internationally renowned artists; Dan Graham, Luca Vitone, Isa Genzken, Roxy Paine, Thomas Baumann, Conrad Shawcross, Subodh Gupta, Sol LeWitt, Tobias Rehberger and Ugo Rondinone are installed at the outdoor exhibition area. They each engage directly with the viewer and challenge the boundaries between art and life.

Dan Graham's piece Rectangle Inside ¾ Cylinder is part of the Two-Way-Mirrow-Pavillon series which the American artist has been working on since the 80s. Both from the inside and from the outside - depending on the light conditions - the glass walls function as mirrors, concealing the people standing on the other side, and at the same time the work has a constant transparency to it.

The piece Gu Mo Ni Ma Da, by German artist Tobias Rehberger, looks like a spaceship that has landed at the messeplatz. The artist has made a reconstruction of the boat that transported the Danish-Vietnamese artist Dahn Vo and his family from Vietnam, when they fled the country. They were picked up by at Danish tanker. The boat refers in this way to one man's history, but at the same time to all the refugees all over the world who try to find a better place to live. No one is fleeing Basel these days as the Art | 39 | Basel is the place to be.
