Quest’anno
Unlimited si presente con una ricca messe di opere, oltre novanta opere che occuperanno tutto
la Hall 1, sicuramente un'evento da non perdere!
Unlimited: Presenting 78 ambitious and large-scale
artworks from five generations of artists Unlimited, Art Basel’s
unique exhibition platform for artworks that transcend the traditional art fair
stand, will this year present 78 projects from galleries participating in the
show. Curated for the third consecutive year by New York-based curator Gianni
Jetzer, and juried by the Selection Committee, Unlimited will showcase a strong
selection of works by renowned artists including Carl Andre, Anthony Caro, Richard
Long, Ana Mendieta, Bruce Nauman, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Rosemarie Trockel,
Doug Wheeler, Yang Fudong and Zhang Huan. These stars are joined by newer
talents such as Andrew Dadson, Sam Falls, João Maria Gusmão + Pedro Paiva,
Gavin Kenyon, Alex Prager, Laure Prouvost, Troika and Daniel Turner.
Since first being
introduced at Art Basel in 2000, Unlimited has become a key element of the
show, providing galleries with an opportunity to showcase large-scale
sculptures, video projections, installations, wall paintings, photographic
series and performance art which cannot be displayed within the limitations of
an art fair stand. The sector will take over the exhibition space in Hall 1 as
Statements, the sector for younger galleries, moves into Hall 2.
Highlights of Unlimited will include Carl Andre’s floor work
‘Steel Peneplain’ (1982) presented by Konrad Fischer Galerie (Dusseldorf),
which consists of 300 steel plates and was created especially for Kassel's
Documenta 7 in 1982. Hanne Darboven’s historically significant work
‘Kinder Dieser Welt / Children of the World’ (1990-1996) was developed in the
aftermath of the fall of the Berlin Wall. Presented by Konrad Fischer Galerie
(Dusseldorf) and Sprüth Magers Berlin London (Berlin, London), the work has
been exhibited only once before, in Stuttgart in 1997. Tucci Russo Studio per
l'Arte Contemporanea (Turin) will present ‘Matrice di linfa’ (2008), part of Giuseppe
Penone’s 'Trees' series of works, in which the center of a fir tree is
removed. Annely Juda Fine Art (London), Mitchell-Innes & Nash (New York)
and Galerie Daniel Templon (Paris) will show one of Anthony Caro’s very
last sculptures, ‘River Run’ (2013).
Presented by Galerie Eva
Presenhuber (Zurich), ‘Untitled (Pallet 9, Pomona)’ (2013) by Sam Falls explores
the collapsing of photography, painting and sculpture as he exposes an orange
fabric to the effects of the sun. Maccarone (New York) and Susanne Vielmetter
Los Angeles Projects (Los Angeles) will present Rodney McMillian’s ‘From
Asterisks in Dockery’ (2012), a floor-to-ceiling red vinyl appropriation of a
chapel. Presented by Blum & Poe (Los Angeles), Simon Lee Gallery (London,
Hong Kong), and Metro Pictures (New York), Jim Shaw’s large scale
acrylic on muslin work ‘Capitol Viscera Appliances mural’ (2011) portrays an
eruption of viscera, resulting in the destruction of Capitol Hill in Washington
D.C., referencing his fictional 'Oist' mythology. Galleria Continua (San
Gimignano) will show ‘Tayouwood’ (2014), a site specific video installation by Pascale
Marthine Tayou, depicting his own personally curated world. Kukje Gallery /
Tina Kim Gallery will show Haegue Yang’s extensive blind installation
‘Accommodating the Epic Dispersion – On Non-cathartic Volume of Dispersion’
(2012) while Long March Space (Beijing) will present Shanghai artist Xu Zhen’s
most ambitious sculptural installation to date ‘Eternity…’ (2013/14).
A limited-edition catalog,
published by Hatje Cantz Publishers, accompanies the exhibition and includes
descriptive texts and images about each artwork. The catalog is for sale at the
show as well as in bookshops. Cost: CHF 40.
