Art Basel Artworks
While the fair’s halls open to the public on Thursday, you can enjoy thrilling art starting Monday, June 12: The Parcours sector presents artworks in public spaces spread across Basel’s Old Town and opens to visitors that day. Curated by Samuel Leuenberger, it brings together sculptures, installations, videos, and performances by 24 artists – find out more here. Also kicking off on Monday is the Film program curated by Filipa Ramos – showcasing the best video works and films made by and about artists at Basel’s Stadtkino, and accessible for free to Art Basel ticket holders and students. Discover the program here.
Live Concerts
From Tuesday, June 13 onwards, the Messeplatz, the square located just in front of the halls, becomes Art Basel’s beating heart thanks to a sprawling superstructure composed of overlapping stages by Switzerland-based Moroccan artist Latifa Echakhch. Titled Der Allplatz, it will be the backdrop for a series of live concerts and performances, freely accessible to the public, organized in collaboration with Luc Meier, Director of La Becque Artist Residency, and curated by Leuenberger.
