Fra
pochi giorni prende avvio ArtBasel che, oltre alle tradizionali proposte, si
arricchisce di una nuovo progetto. Si tratta di “14 Rooms” un’iniziativa
dedicata alle performance, che come dice il titolo prenderà forma in 14
ambienti dedicati a speciali eventi performativi realizzati in un’edizione
unica nei giorni della fiera. Segnalo anche che quest’anno la sezione Unlimited
occupera tutto lo stand 1, diventanto veramente illimitato.
Curatori
dell’evento Klaus Biesenbach e Hans Ulrich Obrist, che come al solito hanno
invitato i soliti nomi : Marina Abramovic, Allora e Calzadilla, Ed Atkins,
Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, Damien Hirst, Joan Jonas, Laura Lima, Bruce
Nauman, Otobong Nkanga, Roman Ondák, Yoko Ono, Tino Sehgal, Santiago Sierra, e
Xu Zhen. Vengono anche presentate due opere di Jordan Wolfson e John Baldessari
nell'ambiente architettonico concepito da Herzog & de Meuron

For '14 Rooms'
curators Klaus Biesenbach and Hans Ulrich Obrist invited international artists
to each activate a room, exploring the relationship between space, time and
physicality with an artwork whose 'material' is the human being. Giving
visitors an insight into a more performative and interactive practice, visitors
will encounter a new situation within each of the 14 rooms, engaging in a
diverse series of immersive and intimate experiences. '14 Rooms' will feature
works by artists including Marina Abramovi?, Allora and Calzadilla, Ed Atkins,
Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, Damien Hirst, Joan Jonas, Laura Lima, Bruce
Nauman, Otobong Nkanga, Roman Ondák, Yoko Ono, Tino Sehgal, Santiago Sierra,
and Xu Zhen.
Additionally, two
more works by Jordan Wolfson and John Baldessari are featured around the
spectacular architectural environment conceived by Herzog & de Meuron
– one acting as an epilogue, the other as archival documentation. Both
challenge the very notions of live art and the human experience as set out for
'14 Rooms'.
