甲）巴塞尔迈阿密沙滩国际艺术博览会简介
2009第八届巴塞尔迈阿密海滩艺术博览会：美国最富盛名的艺术博览会，全新的展览设计，首度推出海滨展区
2009年12月3日到6日，国际艺术盛会——第八届巴塞尔迈阿密海滩艺术博览会将在佛罗里达州迈阿密海滩举行。来自北美，欧洲，拉丁美洲，亚洲和非洲的250个顶级画廊参加展出。经过巴塞尔迈阿密海滩艺术博览会遴选委员会著名画廊挑选，参展画廊将展示二十世纪及二十一世纪超过2000名艺术家的作品。博览会还将开辟特别展区，专门展示近年出现的艺术作品，展览，行为和公共空间艺术作品。
今年，巴塞尔迈阿密海滩艺术博览会将大面积修改展场格局，包括为许多画廊提供更大空间，以及使用创新式平面布局，使观众在迈阿密海滩会议中心的观展体验最大化。主要展示年轻艺术家和画廊特殊项目的“艺术阵地”单元原来在科林斯公园，现将搬到迈阿密海滩会议中心中央展区。博览会主体单元“艺术画廊”将再次推出“艺术私房”环节，在选中的画廊展位上突出展示策展项目，而“艺术新锐”则将呈现一百七十多名艺术家的最新作品。
全新的海滨展览环境将由一名艺术家与纽约传奇艺术组织Creative Time共同设计创造。巴塞尔艺术对话，艺术表演，艺术录像和艺术电影等每日活动将在这里举行。海滨展场和会议中心之间及周围的公共空间则会用来展示今年的艺术计划单元。
自2002年起每年一届的巴塞尔迈阿密海滩艺术博览会今年将在12月3日到12月6日期间举行，VIP开幕式定于12月2日。来自33个国家的入选画廊将展出包括油画，素描，雕塑，装置，摄影，版画和录像在内的各类艺术作品。参展画廊涵盖范围的广度和宽度使巴塞尔迈阿密海滩艺术博览会成为全美最富盛名的艺术盛会，其中既有受到业内广泛认可的老画廊，也有充满活力的新锐画廊。（全部参展画廊名单见www.artbasel.com/sections）作品价格从几百美元（版数作品或年轻艺术家作品）到上百万美元（美术馆级别的大师作品）不等。
博览会开幕前一晚，来自世界各地的重要嘉宾将参加盛大的开幕礼。美国许多重要美术馆已经开始组织前往佛罗里达的访问团队，无数拉丁美洲和欧洲的收藏家也已公开宣布将来参观。博览会进行的五天期间，预计将接待超过四万名艺术爱好者。
博览会格局改版
在迈阿密海滩会议中心的中央地带，参观者将发现一个立方空间。“艺术沙龙”系列谈话，“艺术杂志”，“艺术机构”单元的活动就在这里举行，另外还包括两家餐厅。立方空间周围是“艺术阵地”的展位，而“艺术新锐”则将沿大厅南端一字排开。这一新式格局将使观众的参观体验更轻松，方向辨别更容易，同时也能为餐厅、休息室等服务设施提供更大空间，从而进一步提升巴塞尔迈阿密海滩艺博会为参展画廊提供最佳平台的能力。另外，“艺术收藏家休息室”也将经历大规模重新设计和扩建，包括一间餐厅，以及我们的主要赞助方UBS以及联合赞助商卡地亚，NetJets航空和AXA Art赞助修建的休息室。
艺术画廊单元
今年，由12家著名国际画廊组成的遴选委员会选出了超过180家画廊参加博览会，大约半数来自美国以外的国家和地区，其中又以欧洲、拉丁美洲的画廊居多，来自亚洲的画廊共11家，非洲2家。
艺术私房单元
“艺术私房”为参加“艺术画廊”的25家画廊提供了一次在展位内部单独划出的空间里展示小型策展项目的机会。“艺术私房”的展览概念多种多样，既有主题群展，也有从艺术史角度出发的个展，以及艺术新星的作品展。
艺术新锐单元
在今年的“艺术新锐”单元中，来自24个国家的超过60家新老画廊将展示旗下艺术家的新作，每家画廊最多可选择三名艺术家参展。170多名艺术家的新作将出现在本单元，让参观者可以尽情发掘全球各地工作室新鲜出炉的艺术作品——也使这个单元成为发现艺术生产中最新潮流的理想之地。
艺术阵地单元
原来设在柯林斯公园的“艺术阵地”这次将出现在中央立方空间周围的展厅中心区域。本单元共来自9个不同国家的23家年轻画廊参加，展示单个艺术家或艺术家群体的前沿项目。
海滨展区
原为“艺术阵地”展场的海滩区域现在被改造成博览会附加文化活动的展示平台。在这座拉美与北美汇聚的城市，在直接设立于海滩上的展区，艺术与更广大的公众产生交集。我们很高兴邀请到专门做公共艺术项目的纽约传奇艺术组织Creative Time作为合作伙伴，共同推出博览会的这一新单元，同时选出负责该空间中心元素设计的艺术家。
海滨展区免费对公众开放。在这里，参观者将有很多机会获取丰富的艺术体验。早上，他们可以参加巴塞尔艺术对话系列讨论，聆听艺术界各领域重量级人物的意见。每晚这里都会举办一场特别的艺术活动。活动将以“艺术爱音乐”海滩音乐会拉开序幕，接着是由瓦提斯当代艺术学院（Wattis Institute）主任简斯·霍夫曼（Jens Hoffmann）策划的“艺术表演”单元；以及Creative Time策划的“艺术录像”单元和泽斯·布鲁纳（This Brunner）策划的“艺术电影”之夜。除此以外，海滨咖啡馆还将为观众提供清淡的晚餐和爽口的饮料。
艺术计划
今年的“艺术计划”将首次由来自墨西哥瓜达拉哈拉的帕特里克·沙珀内尔（Patrick Charpenel）组织策划。参加该单元的项目均出自国际知名艺术家之手，首先从本届博览会参展画廊递交的计划书中选中合适方案，然后在迈阿密海滩上的公共空间对其加以呈现。公共展场距离海滨展区和迈阿密海滩会议中心都不远，作品直接与观众产生互动，以一种诗意的方式出人意料地打断路人的日常生活轨迹。
艺术表演
海滨展区的“艺术表演”单元今年将以更长的时间，更高的强度推出一系列在国际上声誉渐隆的艺术家作品。和往年一样，今年这一单元也是由旧金山瓦提斯当代艺术学院主任简斯·霍夫曼策划。活动时间定在周四和周六晚上9:00。
艺术录像
艺术录像是由Creative Time组织策划的一个录像项目，将邀请该领域比较活跃的艺术家和策展人就某些热点话题展开讨论。博览会期间，该部分活动将在周四和周六晚上7:00-8:30举行。
艺术电影
“艺术电影”之夜将展映与艺术界渊源颇深的单部电影，由苏黎世电影鉴赏家泽斯·布鲁纳策划，之后还会有相关人士参加的专题讨论。“艺术电影”定于周五晚上8:30进行。
巴塞尔艺术对话
在海滨展区举行的“巴塞尔艺术对话”将为观众提供有关国际艺术界重要问题的第一手信息。今年的讨论主题包括“美术馆馆长：换代”，“拉丁美洲的艺术收藏”和“美术馆的未来：便携美术馆”。著名艺术家，艺术收藏家，美术馆馆长，策展人，批评家，画廊主，出版人以及其他文化领域的活跃人士都将参加讨论。每次对话也会留出一定时间，让观众与嘉宾进行非正式的交流。
艺术沙龙
位于迈阿密海滩会议中心中央地带的“艺术沙龙”为艺术界人士提供了一处展示自己项目的平台，特别强调当代艺术界最新关注的主题。活动以非正式的形式，国际化的规模为观众提供多样化的体验，具体内容还包括新书发布会，艺术家谈话，圆桌讨论和演讲。
美术馆和私人收藏
迈阿密的顶级私人收藏——包括马古利斯收藏馆，鲁贝尔家族收藏馆，埃拉·西斯内罗私人收藏馆，德·拉·克鲁兹收藏馆，莫拉收藏馆，肖勒收藏馆，以及鲁宾斯收藏馆等——将再度向前来参加国际艺术博览会的嘉宾敞开大门。届时，南佛罗里达州各大美术馆也会推出重要展览，与博览会同期举行，其中包括迈阿密艺术博物馆的吉耶尔莫·库特卡（Guillermo Kuitca）个展，巴斯美术馆的“朱梅克斯艺术藏品”展，诺顿美术馆的威廉·肯特里奇（William Kentridge）个展，马古利斯收藏馆的乔治·西格尔（George Segal）作品展，肖勒收藏馆的雷蒙德•佩提邦(Raymond Pettibon)和西尔维·弗勒里（Sylvie Fleury）作品展。

Miguel Abreu Gallery (New York) mounts a solo show of Pieter Schoolwerth's paintings. In his allegorical tableaux, Schoolwerth insists on placing the depicted body at the center of his ingenious scenes, as a first order of resistance to the forces of abstraction. Within a single still picture he attempts to render the fact of the body's existence in multiple images.
With “My Rising Phoenix,” Ellen de Bruijne Projects (Amsterdam) puts forward three strong positions by female artists Lara Almarcegui, Pauline Boudry / Renate Lorenz and Falke Pisano. Next to their critical approach towards society’s morbid growth in wealth and consumption, all three artists present in their work an inner strength with a productive focus on “creating constructions.”
Joe Bradley presents his “Shamagoo Paintings” at Canada Gallery (New York). The paintings - employing dirt, raw canvas and loosely drawn symbols - are part of a greater installation specifically created for this presentation.
Cherry and Martin (Los Angeles) installs a two-person show with new works by Amanda Ross-Ho and Noah Sheldon. In their photo-based pieces and sculptures, Ross-Ho and Sheldon actively investigate personal identity and experience within the context of America's overwhelmingly disjunctive – often broken – mass-produced image and product-driven landscape.
Pilar Corrias Gallery (London) presents a solo exhibition of works by Ulla von Brandenburg, a participant in this year's Venice Biennale. The installation is separated in two parts by a curtain, one area dedicated to Brandenburg's watercolors, while the other part of the booth presents the film “Singspiel, ” both looking to the late 19th century and putting current depictions of reality into question.
For Art Positions, James Fuentes (New York) mounts a solo show with sculptures by Agathe Snow, consisting of the completion into her year-long research of the world of Leonardo da Vinci. Da Vinci’s machine concepts are the basis for the series of Snow’s
raw sculptures exploring the inventions of the Renaissance times.
In their Art Positions project, i8 Gallery (Reykjavik) present a new installation by Egill Saebjornsson, which comprises of objects on a stage animated by a video projec¬tion and sound. In Saebjornsson’s work, everyday objects take on an unexpectedly life-like quality, encouraging the viewer to look afresh at their surroundings.
The group show “Time-Gap-Memory” at Klemm’s (Berlin) engages the notion of time,
as in memory and past, compiling works by Gwenneth Boelens, Falk Haberkorn, Alexej Meschtschanow and Adrian Sauer. Crossing different media – drawing, collage, photogra¬phy and sculpture – the gesture of conscious appropriation, utilization and reinvention is the thread that ties together this presentation.
Sara Meltzer Gallery (New York) shows a solo project by artist Sarah Cain, whose focal interest is to challenge the status of painting and employ abstraction as a mode of repre¬sentation. She incorporates natural elements and found material, moving fluidly between works on paper, canvas, sculpture and site-specific installation.
Proyectos Monclova (Mexico City) presents a group show featuring Nina Beier and Mario Garcia Torres, which focuses on psychoanalytic theory, history, architecture and politics. The show includes paintings, sculptural-architectural elements and video.
The show at Mizuma Art Gallery (Tokyo) presents a new video installation and photo¬graphic works by Jun Nguyen-Hatsushiba. For the project “Breathing is Free: 12,756.3,” Nguyen-Hatsushiba documents and refers to the globe’s diameter, a distance that he tries to reach while running in various cities around the world.
In his project “The Michael Winslow Typewriter Experience” at Nogueras Blanchard (Barcelona), Ignacio Uriarte works together with the actor Michael Winslow, who became famous in the 1980s thanks to his role in the comedy film “Police Academy.” For his work, Uriarte has in¬vited Winslow to create a live monument to a typewriter, imitating the sound for a video piece, which in the exhibition is surrounded by Uriate’s typewriter drawings.
Ratio 3 (San Francisco) presents a two-person show with Ruth Laskey and Mitzi Pederson, who share the use of delicate materials and an attention to the subtleties
of color, line and shape. Pederson’s sculptures and Laskey’s intricate weavings explore
concerns of minimalism with an exciting contemporary edge.
Redling Fine Art (Los Angeles) highlights artists Jason Kraus and Jeff Kopp, each exhib¬iting work that plays on the materiality of common objects and manipulate them to highlight the subtle perversity and uncanniness of the everyday world.
Sutton Lane (London) mounts a juxtaposition of Reena Spaulings, a title character in a novel who then emerged as a fictional artist and gallery in Manhattan, and Marcel Broodthaers, the great progenitor of a rigorous but humorous practice of institutional critique. Like Spaulings, Broodthaers started as an artist in a contrived and poetic way - in both cases, the identity of the artist is called into question from the begin¬ning, serving as a platform for further exploration.
The installation at the booth of T293 (Naples) is based on a work in progress by Sonia Almeida, in which a single street is mapped by the sequence of colors on its left and its right side, correlating with the idea of the two sides of the brain and the duality of body and mind. Almeida's paintings express the duplicity of the body and how perception intrinsically connects those two sides.
Rachel Uffner Gallery (New York) constructs an exhibition of ceramic fragments pro¬duced during a tea ceremony held by artist Barb Choit in in February 2009 in New York City, which included a subsequent breaking of the cups and saucers. The installation in¬cludes the inventory amassed during this event as well as the photographs and docu¬mentations, fetishizing the broken, useless objects on the floor.
Wallspace (New York) features a three-person presentation with Fia Backström, Walead Beshty and Shannon Ebner. All three artists, in different ways, seek to exploit, deconstruct and repurpose systems of language, exchange and production, with strong ties to the leg¬acy of conceptual art, performance and contemporary photographic practices.
Under the title “The Contemporary Cave” artist Rinus van de Velde installs a site-specific installation at the booth of Gallery Zink (Munich/Berlin/New York). “The Contemporary Cave” is the studio, archive and home of the fictional sculptor “William Crowder,” who van de Velde invented as his alter ego, presenting his sculptures, drawings and documenta¬tions of the life of the artist’s counterpart.

Art Basel Miami Beach 2009
Art Kabinett: 28 Exhibitions Curated by Galleries
This year’s Art Kabinett program at Art Basel Miami Beach 2009, December 3 – 6, 2009 promises to be an exciting mix of tightly focused exhibitions within the show, including thematic group exhibitions and solo shows from both emerging artists and historical figures.
For Art Basel Miami Beach 2009 the Selection Committee has chosen 28 galleries

Gallery Bernier/Eliades (Athens) presents new works by Ry Rocklen (born 1978), who turns abandoned objects into sculptures. For Art Kabinett, Rocklen will create a set of “carpet tilesˮ in a mosaic pattern acting as pedestals for the sculptures.
Niels Borch Jensen Editions & Gallery (Berlin) presents the “Colour Circle Series,ˮ a project by Olafur Eliasson (born 1967), that he has been engaged with for more than two years, and which has just been completed. The series is composed of three parts, and each part includes three circles that experiment with mixing colours. In this work, Eliasson draws upon and combines several of the various media that have defined his opus to date.
Galeria Luciana Brito (São Paulo) will be showing pioneering works by two historic
artists, who highly influenced Brazilian contemporary art history: Geraldo de Barros
(1923-1998) and Waldemar Cordeiro (1925-1973). The show will present Geraldo de Barros “Fotoformas” (1946 – 1951), a pioneering series of experimental photography
in which he recreated scenes and images by layering the negatives, and digital art by Waldemar Cordeiro implying a social and political commentary.
In two separate Art Kabinett shows, Mitchell-Innes & Nash (New York) and Valerie Carberry Gallery (Chicago) focus on the work of Jack Tworkov (1900-1982), a central member of the New York Abstract Expressionists. The Mitchell-Innes & Nash
Art Kabinett celebrates the publication of Tworkov's collected writings, and will provide
a small, focused preview of a major exhibition at the gallery in 2010. Valerie Carberry Gallery shows early works from his seminal “Women” series, a series of Cubist and Abstract Expressionist portraits and related drawings.
The Maxwell Davidson Gallery (New York) mounts a solo exhibition of drawings and collages by Tom Wesselmann (1931-2004) that were created between 1959 and 1969. The exhibition will touch on central themes to Wesselmann's work, such as “smoker stu¬dies,” still lives, bedroom themes and the nude. Many of the drawings are on view for the first time.
In their survey “Aspects of Pop Art,” Galerie Gmurzynska (Zurich/Zug/St Moritz) ex¬amines the masters of the Pop Art movement, such as Tom Wesselmann (1931-2004), Robert Indiana (born 1928), Jasper Johns (born 1930), Ed Ruscha (born 1937) and Andy Warhol (1928-1987). The works will be put in context with works by important precedents to the Pop Art movement, as well as more contemporary artists, to show the continued influence of this generation of artists.
The installation by Carlos Garaicoa (born 1967) at the booth of Galeria Continua (San Gimignano) “Las Joyas de la Corona” (2009) was conceived with its possible impact on two audiences in mind: Those living under political systems where human rights are more obviously suppressed, and those in systems that claim to have solved such contradictions, as in the case of Europe. Without lecturing or moralizing, Garaicoa's work strives to high¬light the urgency of his most pressing concern: The need for humanizing our societies.
Galerie Haas & Fuchs (Berlin) presents early works by George Grosz (1893-1959), who was a prominent member of the Berlin Dada and New Objectivity group during the Weimar Republic. In his merciless satirical drawings and watercolors, as well as his anti-war paintings, Grosz reflects on the energy and confusion of this period.
Hauser & Wirth (Zurich/London/New York) introduces a solo presentation of works by polish painter Jakub Julian Ziolkowski (born 1980), depicting a world rich with details and inhabited by emotions and obsessions. His canvases teem with motifs that generate a feeling of hallucinated multiplication and burst with a chain of references from modern
abstraction’s geometry to Street Art, Philip Guston and Hyeronimus Bosch.
francesca kaufmann (Milan) mounts the installation “Erratum” (2004) by Maroccan artist Latifa Echakhch (born 1974). “Erratum” uses the quintessential Orientalist object - com¬mercial replications of Moroccan tea glasses – which, following the example of Richard Serra’s seminal work “Throw Lead,” are flung against a wall to destroy their symmetrical decoration. Thus, the commonplace cultural objects are emptied of their form and function, appearing as a mass of silent violence.
In their Art Kabinett Kicken Berlin (Berlin) celebrate the ninety years of Bauhaus. No other school influenced twentieth-century art and design as did the Bauhaus. Kicken Gallery presents previously unpublished material, along with masterpieces by Laszlo Moholy-Nagy (1895-1946), Walter Peterhans (1897-1960) and others.
Zilla Leutenegger (born 1968) presents a new 3-dimensional video installation at the
Art Kabinett booth of Galerie Peter Kilchmann (Zurich). The installation comprises a sculpture of a drum kit, a single-video project and a wall drawing in a separate space.
Nicole Klagsburn Gallery (New York) presents a curated installation of drawings by vi¬sionary artist Cameron (Marjorie Cameron Parsons Kimmel, 1922-1995). This presentation continues the gallery’s longstanding interest in the artists of the West Coast Beat Generation counterculture and will situate Cameron’s drawings as part of a wide-ranging mystical, performative, and literary practice that resonates within a more contemporary context.
Michael Kohn Gallery (Los Angeles) exhibits a selection of the rare “Inkblot Drawings” by Bruce Conner (1933-2008), a central figure of the Beat community in San Francisco, and a prolific and widely varied artist. Conner’s “Inkblot Drawings” were created in the last 18 years of his life under different pseudonyms. Many of them integrate collage elements and display an extraordinary level of intricacy and elegance.
Galerie Krinzinger (Vienna) mounts an Art Kabinett exhibition entirely dedicated to Fluxus. On view are films and documentations of performances that were staged in the gallery in Vienna in the early 1990s, a historic overview of Fluxus works, as well as impor¬tant posters from the era. The exhibition will comprise pieces by important Fluxus artists such as Robert Filliou (1926-1987), Yoko Ono (born 1933), Nam June Paik (1932-2006), Carolee Schneemann (born 1939), Daniel Spoerri (born 1930), Emmett Williams (1925-2007) and others.
Kukje Gallery (Seoul) presents a new installation by Korean artist Haegue Yang (born 1971). Yang creates a tableau of light sculptures that will function both in two and three dimensions. Anchored on the wall and exploiting the architectural structure of the booth, the work confronts the viewer by cascading from the ceiling and spooling on the floor.
The piece is a continuation of a long-running series of works the artist calls “A Series
of Vulnerable Arrangements.”
Galerie Yvon Lambert (New York/Paris) presents a solo show of paintings by Swiss artist Christian Vetter (born 1970). On view will be a series of abstract melancholic paintings in Vetter's signature grey, black and white palette.
The one-man show at Mary-Anne Martin Fine Art (New York) focuses on Gerzso
(1915-2000) in his Surrealist period. Included are an arresting self-portrait from 1945 and “Naufragio” (Shipwreck) from the same year. Also featured is the melancholy allegory, “La Barca,” a 1941 painting from the artist’s estate, which has rarely been illustrated and never before been exhibited.
Barbara Mathes Gallery (New York) mounts an exhibition of the work of Italian sculptor Fausto Melotti (1901-1986), fusing Constructivist technical rigor with the Surrealist fantas¬tical and biomorphic vocabulary. Melotti's finely wrought sculptures, all from the seventies, highlight the artists unique sculptural idiom and virtuosic command of line, light and space.
The Art Kabinett of Galeria Millan (São Paulo) features a never-before-exhibited series
of colored drawings by Mira Schendel (1919-1988), one of the most significant Latin-American artists during the second half of the 20th century. The exhibition highlights a rare body of work from the seventies.
“Marcel Duchamp: The Art of Chess” at Francis M. Naumann Fine Art (New York) is the first exhibition devoted to exploring the influence of Duchamp’s activities as a chess player on his artistic production. The exhibition features the magnificent early Cubist drawing “Study for Portrait of Chess Playersˮ (1911), the readymade “Trébuchetˮ (1917/64), a number of photographs of Duchamp (1887-1968) either playing chess or seated before a chessboard, and works by a number of Duchamp’s contemporaries - Man Ray, Max Ernst, Salvador Dalí, Arman and Sarah Austin - and chess-related pieces by contemporary artists such as Yoko Ono, Jennifer Shahade, Diana Thater, Douglas Vogel - some of whom have made works specially for inclusion in this show.
Carolina Nitsch Contemporary Art (New York) stages a digital slide projection “Samar Hussein” (2003-2009) by Vera Lutter (born 1960), presenting 500 images in an endless loop. The works commemorates the estimated 100,000 civilian deaths caused by the American-led occupation of Iraq since March 2003. Using information obtained from the Iraq Body Count project, names of the dead were applied to the sequence of projected
images of blooming Hibiscus plants.
The Paragon Press (London) presents a series of nine etchings by Anish Kapoor (born 1954). Anish Kapoor’s work explores the artist’s fascination with the ambivalence between depth and surface, presence and absence, darkness and light. In his latest series of etch¬ings - Kapoor’s largest to date - two main strands of his oeuvre – the pigment and the void-theme converge.
Sikkema Jenkins & Co. (New York) presents an Art Kabinett with new works by Amy Sillman (born 1966). Silman's drawings diagram pure information in lists and charts on the psychological and physical body. The paintings extend those drawing by combining vari¬ous forms found in those drawings with paint.
A one-man exhibition featuring “Gothicˮ sculptures by Wim Delvoye (born 1965) is on view at Sperone Westwater (New York). Delvoye's work celebrates paradox and builds on the Belgian surrealist tradition of combining two seemingly unrelated elements into a single work of art, like using the elegant style of gothic cathedral architecture to create models of functional equipment such as caterpillars, cement mixers and others.
The Allan Stone Gallery (New York) features figurative paintings and drawings by Wayne Thiebaud (born 1920). Thiebaud's figure paintings have rich paradoxical properties: They seem to suggest a completeness of physical being, yet painted as they are against a backdrop of colorless emptiness, evoke a feeling of isolation within the viewer.
Two Palms (New York) installs one of Richard Prince's new “After Darkˮ miniature library sculptures. Prince (born 1949) is best known for his critique of the insidious myths of American consumer culture. The “After Darkˮ book collection is based on a series of sixties era pulp fiction paperbacks by the same name. The collection is part Minimalist homage, part consumer culture critique, part interrupted absurdist American male fantasy.

Art Basel Miami Beach 2009
Art Nova: 64 Galleries present new works by Young Artists
In Art Nova, the galleries of Art Basel Miami Beach present new works, produced
in the last two years, by a maximum of three artists. 64 international galleries

The Breeder (Athens) presents a new installation by Dutch artist Marc Bijl, whose works are often statements about today's social structures, misusing slogans, logos, symbols and codes, and thereby reflecting upon nationalism, terrorism or religious extremism. Galleria Raffaella Cortese (Milan) presents recent works of Anna Maria Maiolino, who is central to the development of late-20th-century art in Brazil and Latin America. Maiolino shows new videos and photographs discussing the role of women in a patriarchal society.
Galeria Salvador Diaz (Madrid) will present works by Teresa Margolles from the perfor¬mances held at the Mexican Pavillon of this year's Venice Biennale, including photogra¬phy, cloths soaked in blood and mud from Mexican crime scenes together with a new video work by Marina Nunez. Galerist (Istanbul) exhibits two established Turkish artists, Mustafa Hulusi and Haluk Akakce. A new series of photo-realist oil-on-canvas-paintings by Hulusi will be juxtaposed to a presentation of Akakce's sculptures, which marks an ex¬ploration of a totally new medium for the artist.
The Annet Gelink Gallery (Amsterdam) mounts a group show whose emphasis lies on story-telling, featuring paintings and videos by Meiro Koizumi, new conceptual works
by Ryan Gander and collages and videos by David Maljcovic. Harris Liebermann (New York) presents a two-artist project with Simon Dybbroe Moller and Karl Haendel uniting their different approaches to art making. Galerie Mezzanin (Vienna) presents a dialogue of painted portraits by Katrin Plavcak and photographic works by Mandla Reuter, both artists sharing an interest in basic questions concerning image production, history and cultural politics.
Another group exhibition is on view at the booth of Nature Morte / Bose Pacia (New Delhi / New York) featuring works by three South Asian artists Jagannath Panda, Radhika Khimji and Suhasini Kejriwal, spanning several media - from large-scale paintings by Panda to the playful sculptures by Kejriwal to meticulous work on paper by Khimji. Prometeogallery (Milan) installs a group show on social investigation and historical transformation featuring a film by Rossella Biscotti, a sculpture by Regina Jose Galindo and a photographic series by Santiago Sierra, who illustrates the passing of time through a documentation of gypsies' teeth. A dialogue between Miriam Backström, Gardar Eide Einarsson and Superflex at the booth of Nils Staerk (Copenhagen) focuses on the con¬cept of the art work challenging the role of an artist in contemporary society.
Reena Spaulings Fine Art (New York) brings together Matias Faldbakken, Claire Fontaine and K8 Hardy, each one an artist who has elaborated a particular way of inter¬rogating the use of value in popular culture. Regina Gallery (Moscow) mounts a group show featuring Sergey Bratkow and Claire Fontaine both representing the debate about capitalist society in the International context. Bratkov's photographs portraying every day life since the collapse of the Soviet Union are opposed to Fontaine's new neon piece “Amerikaˮ in their K. font.
Peres Projects (Berlin/Los Angeles) mounts a solo show of new works by Dan Attoe, presenting paintings and neon sculptures. His neon sculptures are illuminated renderings of his line drawings, which are drawn from the world depicted in his paintings, presenting road-side motels, dive bars, cartoon animals and imagined conflicts. Franco Soffiantino Gallery (Torino) installs a site-specific solo presentation of works by Michael Beutler, consisting of a 3,000-square-meter large rolled-up carpet. The viewer only sees the open end of the carpet, revealing the pattern and the different materials and colors woven into it, hinting at what there would be to see if the carpet would be unrolled.
SKE Gallery (Bangalore) shows a dialogue of two Indian artists by presenting a skeleton of a wooden boat by Sudarshan Shetty and a video projection of water, creating an im¬age that is somewhere between a wave and a cloud, by Avinash Veeraraghavan. Three emerging Isreali artists - Sharon Ya'ari, Ofir Dor and Haim Almoznino - have a group presentation at the booth of Sommer Contemporary Art (Tel Aviv) each working in differ¬ent media and each representing different stages in their career.
In her solo show at the booth of The Third Line (Dubai), Iranian artist Monir Sharhroudy Farmanfarmaian will install a new mirror mosaic, a medium that has been used in Iran as an architectural ornamentation since the eighteenth century. The installation will transform the space into an experience reflecting colour and light, continually shifting in response to the movement of the visitors. Vitamin Creative Space (Guangzhou) presents a joint project titled “Interior,ˮ created by two Chinese artists Duan Jianyu and Huang He. The paintings by Duan and the installation by Huang form this “interiorˮ space and present a border where elements from daily life meet fantasy.

戊）海滨展区｜THE OCEANFRONT
Art Basel Miami Beach 2009
The Oceanfront area: Our new Platform for artistic programs
The new Oceanfront area in Collins Park has been created as a platform for virtually all of Art Basel Miami Beach’s cultural programming. Situated directly beside the beach, the Oceanfront marks the point where the artworld interfaces with the broader public. We are delighted to have Creative Time, the legendary New York City-based public art organization, as a partner in the launching of this new dimen¬sion of Art Basel Miami Beach. Having solicited many proposals, Creative Time and Art Basel Miami Beach commissioned Los Angeles artist Pae White to create this “social spaceˮ.
Free of any admission charge, the Oceanfront - located at Collins Park, between
21st and 22nd Streets - offers visitors many opportunities. In the mornings, they
can attend the discussion panels of the Art Basel Conversations series, featuring prominent figures from every artworld domain. And every night during Art Basel Miami Beach, the Oceanfront will feature at least one special event. The evening
series will be inaugurated by the annual Art Loves Music concert on the beach; the following evenings feature the Art Perform program curated by Jens Hoffmann of the Wattis Institute, the Art Video program curated by Meredith Johnson of Creative Time and the Art Film evening curated by This Brunner. Rounding out the experi¬ence, the Oceanfront Cafe will offer visitors the possibility to have brunch in the morning, then light meals and refreshing drinks from dusk to midnight.
Oceanfront project by Pae White
For the 2009 premiere of the Oceanfront, Pae White will create an immersive and interac¬tive cityscape that will provide a new experience with each visit. By day, large color blocks will dominate the landscape. At night, these color blocks transform into a shadowy group of buildings that house various merchants and performers. In addition to this labyrinth-like metropolis on the sand, White will design an open-air stage that will host the Art Video,
Art Film, and Art Perform programs and Art Basel Conversations.
Born in 1963 in Pasadena, CA, Pae White graduated from Scripps College, Claremont
and received her MFA from Art Center College of Design, Pasadena. White has exhibited internationally at institutions such as the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art, Scottsdale, Arizona (2008); Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington DC (2007); Contemporary Arts Center, Cincinnati, Ohio (2007); UCLA Hammer Museum, Los Angeles (2004). White was a featured artist in the Skulptur Projekte Münster, 2007 and in this year's Venice Biennale.
Art Basel Conversations
Thursday, December 3 through Saturday, December 5, 10 – 11 am
As in previous years, the Art Basel Conversations will be inaugurated by the Artist Talk
premiere, which this year features Chinese artist Ai Weiwei. The Art Basel Conversations are “Museum Directors: Change in Generation,” “Collector Focus: Latin America” and “The Future of the Museum: The Portable Museum.” There is time allotted after each Art Basel Conversation for the audience to engage with the panel in a more informal fashion.
“Museum Directors: Change in Generation” brings together the next generation of museum and institution directors to discuss their visions for the coming decades. In “Collector Focus: Latin Americaˮ prominent art collectors from Argentina, Brazil and Mexico explore the dynamic way in which Latin Americas' collecting scene has grown and international¬ized in the last decade. “The Future of the Museum: The Portable Museum,” will offer fresh insights on future models for exhibition-making.
Art Video
Thursday, December 3 and Saturday, December 5, 7 – 8.30 pm
Curated by Creative Time, the Art Video program includes discussions with the featured artists and curators.
Thursday, December 3, 7 – 8.30 pm
“Video Art and Mainstream Distributionˮ
Artist video is often created for and sited in pristine white box spaces, where there
is a deliberateness to the viewing environment and the context of the work is clearly articulated. Tom Sachs and his collaborators the Neistat Brothers challenge this tradition through humorous, low-tech, do-it-yourself performances presented both in the gallery and outside it. Like Sachs and the Neistat Brothers, Marc Horowitz uses media outlets such as YouTube and network television to distribute his hilarious interventions throughout the United States. These artists are innovators in exposing mainstream audiences to artist video, and pushing the borders between conceptual practice and everyday experience.
Tom Sachs and The Neistat Brothers
“Waffle Bikeˮ, 2008 (8:06), “Obstacle Courseˮ, 2006 (3.32), “Space Programˮ, 2008 (12:09) Marc Horowitz “Bishop, CAˮ, 2009 (4:10), “Nampa, Idahoˮ, 2009 (3:10), “Craig, COˮ, 2009 (4:02), “Wasenburg, COˮ, 2009 (3:08), “Paradise, INˮ, 2009 (2:10), “Ewing, KYˮ, 2009 (4:11) Followed by a conversation with Casey Neistat and Marc Horowitz
Saturday, December 5, 7 – 8.30 pm
“The Watcher and the Watchedˮ
Jill Magid, an artist who explores the personal boundaries of state surveillance, uses catalogued CCTV footage to construct film noir-like narratives with herself and her location as subject. Magid uses the tools of photographic evidence to explore the deeply conflicted condition of one's loss of control. In her work the camera, and its operator, move from anonymous watcher to intimate participant. In Kon Trubkovich’s videos, the camera takes on an aggressive and controlling identity. Tackling the tension between freedom and captivity, the subjects of his work participate in Sisyphean activities that keep them from escaping their condition. Both Magid and Trubkovich navigate the borders between personal liberty and institutional restraint, implicating the viewer in the power dynamics presented in their work.
Jill Magid
“Trustˮ, 2004 (18:00), “Camera One Wester Parkˮ, 2005 (11:00)
Kon Trubkovich “Repeat Offenderˮ, 2005 (11:07), “Ant Farmˮ, 2007 (9:54)
Followed by a conversation with Jill Magid and Kon Trubkovich
Art Perform
Thursday, December 3 and Saturday, December 5, 9 pm
In its fifth year, Art Perform now features an intensified program of longer performances by rising international artists. This program will again be conceived by curator Jens Hoffmann, director of the CCA Wattis Institute, San Francisco. It will take place on Thursday and Saturday at 9 pm. The participating artists are Claire Fontaine, Simon Fujiwara, Loris Gréaud and Mario Garcia Torres, Kris Martin, and Kelly Nipper.
Thursday, December 3
9 pm - Simon Fujiwara
This autobiographical play, written and performed by the artist, restages his first encounter with a modern artwork, “Horizontal Stripe Paintingˮ by abstract expressionist Patrick Heron, when he was 11 years old. Featuring a counterfeit reproduction of the original canvas as backdrop, Fujiwara’s play re-enacts multiple versions of this encounter, taking us on an increasingly absurd art-historical and personal journey told through the memories of a repressed pubescent boy.
9.30 pm - Kelly Nipper
With the physicality of sculpture, memory of film, body of a camera and mind of a crystallographer, Nipper’s performance suspends time and space by counterbalancing expressive movement with the process of assembling a human-scale icosahedron to examine the patterns of a hurricane.
10 pm - Kris Martin
Flemish artist Kris Martin has never performed before and does not think of himself as particularly talented in this form of artistic expression. His contribution to Art Perform will be an autobiographical monologue describing how he became an artist. Sitting somewhere between reality and fiction, confession and storytelling, Martin’s piece will revolve around key (and perhaps embarrassing) moments of his own upbringing that all of us have experienced in one way or the other.
Saturday, December 5, 9 pm
9 pm - Claire Fontaine
In this performance, the punch mannequin called a Body Opponent Bag (BOB) is installed on the stage and several professional fighters are invited to use a variety of methods to beat it, displaying a frightening use of physical force and aggression. While BOB is an anthropomorphic object constructed for the purpose of being beaten up, he also functions in this performance as a ready-made sculpture that becomes the catalyst for a projection
of hatred.
9.30 pm - Loris Gréaud and Mario Garcia Torres
Using the film “Groundhog Dayˮ (1993) as a starting point, this project is an intervention
of repeating daily events, both almost unnoticeable and obvious, into the routine of the
art show. Mimicking the film’s fictional phenomenon of a loop in space and time, the daily repetition of an odd sequence of events creates a sense that the show is re-lived over and over again each day, culminating in an onstage interview between Art Perform curator Jens Hoffmann and Phil, the character from “Groundhog Dayˮ.
Art Film: “Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Radiant Childˮ
Friday, December 4, 8.30 pm
This year's Art Film event features an exclusive work-in-progress sneak preview of the documentary feature film “Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Radiant Child,ˮ preceded by a panel with a selection of participants, moderated by Bob Colacello. “Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Radiant Childˮ is directed by Tamra Davis and features a long and never-before-seen interview with Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-1988), shot shortly before his death. The (90-minute) documentary further comprises footage of Basquiat in his studio, interviews with approximately 50 people who knew him intimately, rare archival material and work by the artist. Art Film is curated by Zurich film connaisseur This Brunner.

甲）巴塞尔迈阿密沙滩国际艺术博览会简介
2009第八届巴塞尔迈阿密海滩艺术博览会：美国最富盛名的艺术博览会，全新的展览设计，首度推出海滨展区
2009年12月3日到6日，国际艺术盛会——第八届巴塞尔迈阿密海滩艺术博览会将在佛罗里达州迈阿密海滩举行。来自北美，欧洲，拉丁美洲，亚洲和非洲的250个顶级画廊参加展出。经过巴塞尔迈阿密海滩艺术博览会遴选委员会著名画廊挑选，参展画廊将展示二十世纪及二十一世纪超过2000名艺术家的作品。博览会还将开辟特别展区，专门展示近年出现的艺术作品，展览，行为和公共空间艺术作品。
今年，巴塞尔迈阿密海滩艺术博览会将大面积修改展场格局，包括为许多画廊提供更大空间，以及使用创新式平面布局，使观众在迈阿密海滩会议中心的观展体验最大化。主要展示年轻艺术家和画廊特殊项目的“艺术阵地”单元原来在科林斯公园，现将搬到迈阿密海滩会议中心中央展区。博览会主体单元“艺术画廊”将再次推出“艺术私房”环节，在选中的画廊展位上突出展示策展项目，而“艺术新锐”则将呈现一百七十多名艺术家的最新作品。
全新的海滨展览环境将由一名艺术家与纽约传奇艺术组织Creative Time共同设计创造。巴塞尔艺术对话，艺术表演，艺术录像和艺术电影等每日活动将在这里举行。海滨展场和会议中心之间及周围的公共空间则会用来展示今年的艺术计划单元。
自2002年起每年一届的巴塞尔迈阿密海滩艺术博览会今年将在12月3日到12月6日期间举行，VIP开幕式定于12月2日。来自33个国家的入选画廊将展出包括油画，素描，雕塑，装置，摄影，版画和录像在内的各类艺术作品。参展画廊涵盖范围的广度和宽度使巴塞尔迈阿密海滩艺术博览会成为全美最富盛名的艺术盛会，其中既有受到业内广泛认可的老画廊，也有充满活力的新锐画廊。（全部参展画廊名单见www.artbasel.com/sections）作品价格从几百美元（版数作品或年轻艺术家作品）到上百万美元（美术馆级别的大师作品）不等。
博览会开幕前一晚，来自世界各地的重要嘉宾将参加盛大的开幕礼。美国许多重要美术馆已经开始组织前往佛罗里达的访问团队，无数拉丁美洲和欧洲的收藏家也已公开宣布将来参观。博览会进行的五天期间，预计将接待超过四万名艺术爱好者。
博览会格局改版
在迈阿密海滩会议中心的中央地带，参观者将发现一个立方空间。“艺术沙龙”系列谈话，“艺术杂志”，“艺术机构”单元的活动就在这里举行，另外还包括两家餐厅。立方空间周围是“艺术阵地”的展位，而“艺术新锐”则将沿大厅南端一字排开。这一新式格局将使观众的参观体验更轻松，方向辨别更容易，同时也能为餐厅、休息室等服务设施提供更大空间，从而进一步提升巴塞尔迈阿密海滩艺博会为参展画廊提供最佳平台的能力。另外，“艺术收藏家休息室”也将经历大规模重新设计和扩建，包括一间餐厅，以及我们的主要赞助方UBS以及联合赞助商卡地亚，NetJets航空和AXA Art赞助修建的休息室。
艺术画廊单元
今年，由12家著名国际画廊组成的遴选委员会选出了超过180家画廊参加博览会，大约半数来自美国以外的国家和地区，其中又以欧洲、拉丁美洲的画廊居多，来自亚洲的画廊共11家，非洲2家。
艺术私房单元
“艺术私房”为参加“艺术画廊”的25家画廊提供了一次在展位内部单独划出的空间里展示小型策展项目的机会。“艺术私房”的展览概念多种多样，既有主题群展，也有从艺术史角度出发的个展，以及艺术新星的作品展。
艺术新锐单元
在今年的“艺术新锐”单元中，来自24个国家的超过60家新老画廊将展示旗下艺术家的新作，每家画廊最多可选择三名艺术家参展。170多名艺术家的新作将出现在本单元，让参观者可以尽情发掘全球各地工作室新鲜出炉的艺术作品——也使这个单元成为发现艺术生产中最新潮流的理想之地。
艺术阵地单元
原来设在柯林斯公园的“艺术阵地”这次将出现在中央立方空间周围的展厅中心区域。本单元共来自9个不同国家的23家年轻画廊参加，展示单个艺术家或艺术家群体的前沿项目。
海滨展区
原为“艺术阵地”展场的海滩区域现在被改造成博览会附加文化活动的展示平台。在这座拉美与北美汇聚的城市，在直接设立于海滩上的展区，艺术与更广大的公众产生交集。我们很高兴邀请到专门做公共艺术项目的纽约传奇艺术组织Creative Time作为合作伙伴，共同推出博览会的这一新单元，同时选出负责该空间中心元素设计的艺术家。
海滨展区免费对公众开放。在这里，参观者将有很多机会获取丰富的艺术体验。早上，他们可以参加巴塞尔艺术对话系列讨论，聆听艺术界各领域重量级人物的意见。每晚这里都会举办一场特别的艺术活动。活动将以“艺术爱音乐”海滩音乐会拉开序幕，接着是由瓦提斯当代艺术学院（Wattis Institute）主任简斯·霍夫曼（Jens Hoffmann）策划的“艺术表演”单元；以及Creative Time策划的“艺术录像”单元和泽斯·布鲁纳（This Brunner）策划的“艺术电影”之夜。除此以外，海滨咖啡馆还将为观众提供清淡的晚餐和爽口的饮料。
艺术计划
今年的“艺术计划”将首次由来自墨西哥瓜达拉哈拉的帕特里克·沙珀内尔（Patrick Charpenel）组织策划。参加该单元的项目均出自国际知名艺术家之手，首先从本届博览会参展画廊递交的计划书中选中合适方案，然后在迈阿密海滩上的公共空间对其加以呈现。公共展场距离海滨展区和迈阿密海滩会议中心都不远，作品直接与观众产生互动，以一种诗意的方式出人意料地打断路人的日常生活轨迹。
艺术表演
海滨展区的“艺术表演”单元今年将以更长的时间，更高的强度推出一系列在国际上声誉渐隆的艺术家作品。和往年一样，今年这一单元也是由旧金山瓦提斯当代艺术学院主任简斯·霍夫曼策划。活动时间定在周四和周六晚上9:00。
艺术录像
艺术录像是由Creative Time组织策划的一个录像项目，将邀请该领域比较活跃的艺术家和策展人就某些热点话题展开讨论。博览会期间，该部分活动将在周四和周六晚上7:00-8:30举行。
艺术电影
“艺术电影”之夜将展映与艺术界渊源颇深的单部电影，由苏黎世电影鉴赏家泽斯·布鲁纳策划，之后还会有相关人士参加的专题讨论。“艺术电影”定于周五晚上8:30进行。
巴塞尔艺术对话
在海滨展区举行的“巴塞尔艺术对话”将为观众提供有关国际艺术界重要问题的第一手信息。今年的讨论主题包括“美术馆馆长：换代”，“拉丁美洲的艺术收藏”和“美术馆的未来：便携美术馆”。著名艺术家，艺术收藏家，美术馆馆长，策展人，批评家，画廊主，出版人以及其他文化领域的活跃人士都将参加讨论。每次对话也会留出一定时间，让观众与嘉宾进行非正式的交流。
艺术沙龙
位于迈阿密海滩会议中心中央地带的“艺术沙龙”为艺术界人士提供了一处展示自己项目的平台，特别强调当代艺术界最新关注的主题。活动以非正式的形式，国际化的规模为观众提供多样化的体验，具体内容还包括新书发布会，艺术家谈话，圆桌讨论和演讲。
美术馆和私人收藏
迈阿密的顶级私人收藏——包括马古利斯收藏馆，鲁贝尔家族收藏馆，埃拉·西斯内罗私人收藏馆，德·拉·克鲁兹收藏馆，莫拉收藏馆，肖勒收藏馆，以及鲁宾斯收藏馆等——将再度向前来参加国际艺术博览会的嘉宾敞开大门。届时，南佛罗里达州各大美术馆也会推出重要展览，与博览会同期举行，其中包括迈阿密艺术博物馆的吉耶尔莫·库特卡（Guillermo Kuitca）个展，巴斯美术馆的“朱梅克斯艺术藏品”展，诺顿美术馆的威廉·肯特里奇（William Kentridge）个展，马古利斯收藏馆的乔治·西格尔（George Segal）作品展，肖勒收藏馆的雷蒙德•佩提邦(Raymond Pettibon)和西尔维·弗勒里（Sylvie Fleury）作品展。
赞助商与合作伙伴
巴塞尔迈阿密海滩艺术博览会一直得到众多合作伙伴的大力支持，其中主要赞助商是国际金融机构瑞银集团（UBS），联合赞助商包括：卡地亚，NetJets航空， AXA集团。
迈阿密设计展
第五届迈阿密设计展定于12月1日至12月5日 举行，届时世界最重要的设计画廊都将展出旗下当代及历史的作品。迈阿密设计展的获奖项目“临时结构”（Temporary Structure）将以建筑师阿兰达/拉斯奇（Aranda\Lasch）设计的全新面貌再度与参观者见面。该结构位于充满活力的迈阿密设计区，届时将把一片椰林改造成展示限量版设计作品的前沿展览空间。更多信息参见www.designmiami.com。

Miguel Abreu Gallery (New York) mounts a solo show of Pieter Schoolwerth's paintings. In his allegorical tableaux, Schoolwerth insists on placing the depicted body at the center of his ingenious scenes, as a first order of resistance to the forces of abstraction. Within a single still picture he attempts to render the fact of the body's existence in multiple images.
With “My Rising Phoenix,” Ellen de Bruijne Projects (Amsterdam) puts forward three strong positions by female artists Lara Almarcegui, Pauline Boudry / Renate Lorenz and Falke Pisano. Next to their critical approach towards society’s morbid growth in wealth and consumption, all three artists present in their work an inner strength with a productive focus on “creating constructions.”
Joe Bradley presents his “Shamagoo Paintings” at Canada Gallery (New York). The paintings - employing dirt, raw canvas and loosely drawn symbols - are part of a greater installation specifically created for this presentation.
Cherry and Martin (Los Angeles) installs a two-person show with new works by Amanda Ross-Ho and Noah Sheldon. In their photo-based pieces and sculptures, Ross-Ho and Sheldon actively investigate personal identity and experience within the context of America's overwhelmingly disjunctive – often broken – mass-produced image and product-driven landscape.
Pilar Corrias Gallery (London) presents a solo exhibition of works by Ulla von Brandenburg, a participant in this year's Venice Biennale. The installation is separated in two parts by a curtain, one area dedicated to Brandenburg's watercolors, while the other part of the booth presents the film “Singspiel, ” both looking to the late 19th century and putting current depictions of reality into question.
For Art Positions, James Fuentes (New York) mounts a solo show with sculptures by Agathe Snow, consisting of the completion into her year-long research of the world of Leonardo da Vinci. Da Vinci’s machine concepts are the basis for the series of Snow’s
raw sculptures exploring the inventions of the Renaissance times.
In their Art Positions project, i8 Gallery (Reykjavik) present a new installation by Egill Saebjornsson, which comprises of objects on a stage animated by a video projec¬tion and sound. In Saebjornsson’s work, everyday objects take on an unexpectedly life-like quality, encouraging the viewer to look afresh at their surroundings.
The group show “Time-Gap-Memory” at Klemm’s (Berlin) engages the notion of time,
as in memory and past, compiling works by Gwenneth Boelens, Falk Haberkorn, Alexej Meschtschanow and Adrian Sauer. Crossing different media – drawing, collage, photogra¬phy and sculpture – the gesture of conscious appropriation, utilization and reinvention is the thread that ties together this presentation.
Sara Meltzer Gallery (New York) shows a solo project by artist Sarah Cain, whose focal interest is to challenge the status of painting and employ abstraction as a mode of repre¬sentation. She incorporates natural elements and found material, moving fluidly between works on paper, canvas, sculpture and site-specific installation.
Proyectos Monclova (Mexico City) presents a group show featuring Nina Beier and Mario Garcia Torres, which focuses on psychoanalytic theory, history, architecture and politics. The show includes paintings, sculptural-architectural elements and video.
The show at Mizuma Art Gallery (Tokyo) presents a new video installation and photo¬graphic works by Jun Nguyen-Hatsushiba. For the project “Breathing is Free: 12,756.3,” Nguyen-Hatsushiba documents and refers to the globe’s diameter, a distance that he tries to reach while running in various cities around the world.
In his project “The Michael Winslow Typewriter Experience” at Nogueras Blanchard (Barcelona), Ignacio Uriarte works together with the actor Michael Winslow, who became famous in the 1980s thanks to his role in the comedy film “Police Academy.” For his work, Uriarte has in¬vited Winslow to create a live monument to a typewriter, imitating the sound for a video piece, which in the exhibition is surrounded by Uriate’s typewriter drawings.
Ratio 3 (San Francisco) presents a two-person show with Ruth Laskey and Mitzi Pederson, who share the use of delicate materials and an attention to the subtleties
of color, line and shape. Pederson’s sculptures and Laskey’s intricate weavings explore
concerns of minimalism with an exciting contemporary edge.
Redling Fine Art (Los Angeles) highlights artists Jason Kraus and Jeff Kopp, each exhib¬iting work that plays on the materiality of common objects and manipulate them to highlight the subtle perversity and uncanniness of the everyday world.
Sutton Lane (London) mounts a juxtaposition of Reena Spaulings, a title character in a novel who then emerged as a fictional artist and gallery in Manhattan, and Marcel Broodthaers, the great progenitor of a rigorous but humorous practice of institutional critique. Like Spaulings, Broodthaers started as an artist in a contrived and poetic way - in both cases, the identity of the artist is called into question from the begin¬ning, serving as a platform for further exploration.
The installation at the booth of T293 (Naples) is based on a work in progress by Sonia Almeida, in which a single street is mapped by the sequence of colors on its left and its right side, correlating with the idea of the two sides of the brain and the duality of body and mind. Almeida's paintings express the duplicity of the body and how perception intrinsically connects those two sides.
Rachel Uffner Gallery (New York) constructs an exhibition of ceramic fragments pro¬duced during a tea ceremony held by artist Barb Choit in in February 2009 in New York City, which included a subsequent breaking of the cups and saucers. The installation in¬cludes the inventory amassed during this event as well as the photographs and docu¬mentations, fetishizing the broken, useless objects on the floor.
Wallspace (New York) features a three-person presentation with Fia Backström, Walead Beshty and Shannon Ebner. All three artists, in different ways, seek to exploit, deconstruct and repurpose systems of language, exchange and production, with strong ties to the leg¬acy of conceptual art, performance and contemporary photographic practices.
Under the title “The Contemporary Cave” artist Rinus van de Velde installs a site-specific installation at the booth of Gallery Zink (Munich/Berlin/New York). “The Contemporary Cave” is the studio, archive and home of the fictional sculptor “William Crowder,” who van de Velde invented as his alter ego, presenting his sculptures, drawings and documenta¬tions of the life of the artist’s counterpart.

Art Basel Miami Beach 2009
Art Kabinett: 28 Exhibitions Curated by Galleries
This year’s Art Kabinett program at Art Basel Miami Beach 2009, December 3 – 6, 2009 promises to be an exciting mix of tightly focused exhibitions within the show, including thematic group exhibitions and solo shows from both emerging artists and historical figures.
For Art Basel Miami Beach 2009 the Selection Committee has chosen 28 galleries
to present Art Kabinett - separate areas within the booths of the Art Galleries sector, providing a space to exhibit single artists’ works and thematic group exhibitions, spotlighting the curatorial skills of the gallerists.
The 28 projects in this sector of the show feature a wide array of artists, ranging from emerging artists such as Jakub Julian Ziotkowski, Haegue Yang and Latifa Echakhch to historical figures like Marcel Duchamp, George Grosz and Jack Tworkov. Further highlights include projects by Olafur Eliasson, Anish Kapoor, Richard Prince and Wim Delvoye. Group shows include exhibitions titled “Ninety years of Bauhausˮ and “Aspects of Pop Artˮ.

Gallery Bernier/Eliades (Athens) presents new works by Ry Rocklen (born 1978), who turns abandoned objects into sculptures. For Art Kabinett, Rocklen will create a set of “carpet tilesˮ in a mosaic pattern acting as pedestals for the sculptures.
Niels Borch Jensen Editions & Gallery (Berlin) presents the “Colour Circle Series,ˮ a project by Olafur Eliasson (born 1967), that he has been engaged with for more than two years, and which has just been completed. The series is composed of three parts, and each part includes three circles that experiment with mixing colours. In this work, Eliasson draws upon and combines several of the various media that have defined his opus to date.
Galeria Luciana Brito (São Paulo) will be showing pioneering works by two historic
artists, who highly influenced Brazilian contemporary art history: Geraldo de Barros
(1923-1998) and Waldemar Cordeiro (1925-1973). The show will present Geraldo de Barros “Fotoformas” (1946 – 1951), a pioneering series of experimental photography
in which he recreated scenes and images by layering the negatives, and digital art by Waldemar Cordeiro implying a social and political commentary.
In two separate Art Kabinett shows, Mitchell-Innes & Nash (New York) and Valerie Carberry Gallery (Chicago) focus on the work of Jack Tworkov (1900-1982), a central member of the New York Abstract Expressionists. The Mitchell-Innes & Nash
Art Kabinett celebrates the publication of Tworkov's collected writings, and will provide
a small, focused preview of a major exhibition at the gallery in 2010. Valerie Carberry Gallery shows early works from his seminal “Women” series, a series of Cubist and Abstract Expressionist portraits and related drawings.
The Maxwell Davidson Gallery (New York) mounts a solo exhibition of drawings and collages by Tom Wesselmann (1931-2004) that were created between 1959 and 1969. The exhibition will touch on central themes to Wesselmann's work, such as “smoker stu¬dies,” still lives, bedroom themes and the nude. Many of the drawings are on view for the first time.
In their survey “Aspects of Pop Art,” Galerie Gmurzynska (Zurich/Zug/St Moritz) ex¬amines the masters of the Pop Art movement, such as Tom Wesselmann (1931-2004), Robert Indiana (born 1928), Jasper Johns (born 1930), Ed Ruscha (born 1937) and Andy Warhol (1928-1987). The works will be put in context with works by important precedents to the Pop Art movement, as well as more contemporary artists, to show the continued influence of this generation of artists.
The installation by Carlos Garaicoa (born 1967) at the booth of Galeria Continua (San Gimignano) “Las Joyas de la Corona” (2009) was conceived with its possible impact on two audiences in mind: Those living under political systems where human rights are more obviously suppressed, and those in systems that claim to have solved such contradictions, as in the case of Europe. Without lecturing or moralizing, Garaicoa's work strives to high¬light the urgency of his most pressing concern: The need for humanizing our societies.
Galerie Haas & Fuchs (Berlin) presents early works by George Grosz (1893-1959), who was a prominent member of the Berlin Dada and New Objectivity group during the Weimar Republic. In his merciless satirical drawings and watercolors, as well as his anti-war paintings, Grosz reflects on the energy and confusion of this period.
Hauser & Wirth (Zurich/London/New York) introduces a solo presentation of works by polish painter Jakub Julian Ziolkowski (born 1980), depicting a world rich with details and inhabited by emotions and obsessions. His canvases teem with motifs that generate a feeling of hallucinated multiplication and burst with a chain of references from modern
abstraction’s geometry to Street Art, Philip Guston and Hyeronimus Bosch.
francesca kaufmann (Milan) mounts the installation “Erratum” (2004) by Maroccan artist Latifa Echakhch (born 1974). “Erratum” uses the quintessential Orientalist object - com¬mercial replications of Moroccan tea glasses – which, following the example of Richard Serra’s seminal work “Throw Lead,” are flung against a wall to destroy their symmetrical decoration. Thus, the commonplace cultural objects are emptied of their form and function, appearing as a mass of silent violence.
In their Art Kabinett Kicken Berlin (Berlin) celebrate the ninety years of Bauhaus. No other school influenced twentieth-century art and design as did the Bauhaus. Kicken Gallery presents previously unpublished material, along with masterpieces by Laszlo Moholy-Nagy (1895-1946), Walter Peterhans (1897-1960) and others.
Zilla Leutenegger (born 1968) presents a new 3-dimensional video installation at the
Art Kabinett booth of Galerie Peter Kilchmann (Zurich). The installation comprises a sculpture of a drum kit, a single-video project and a wall drawing in a separate space.
Nicole Klagsburn Gallery (New York) presents a curated installation of drawings by vi¬sionary artist Cameron (Marjorie Cameron Parsons Kimmel, 1922-1995). This presentation continues the gallery’s longstanding interest in the artists of the West Coast Beat Generation counterculture and will situate Cameron’s drawings as part of a wide-ranging mystical, performative, and literary practice that resonates within a more contemporary context.
Michael Kohn Gallery (Los Angeles) exhibits a selection of the rare “Inkblot Drawings” by Bruce Conner (1933-2008), a central figure of the Beat community in San Francisco, and a prolific and widely varied artist. Conner’s “Inkblot Drawings” were created in the last 18 years of his life under different pseudonyms. Many of them integrate collage elements and display an extraordinary level of intricacy and elegance.
Galerie Krinzinger (Vienna) mounts an Art Kabinett exhibition entirely dedicated to Fluxus. On view are films and documentations of performances that were staged in the gallery in Vienna in the early 1990s, a historic overview of Fluxus works, as well as impor¬tant posters from the era. The exhibition will comprise pieces by important Fluxus artists such as Robert Filliou (1926-1987), Yoko Ono (born 1933), Nam June Paik (1932-2006), Carolee Schneemann (born 1939), Daniel Spoerri (born 1930), Emmett Williams (1925-2007) and others.
Kukje Gallery (Seoul) presents a new installation by Korean artist Haegue Yang (born 1971). Yang creates a tableau of light sculptures that will function both in two and three dimensions. Anchored on the wall and exploiting the architectural structure of the booth, the work confronts the viewer by cascading from the ceiling and spooling on the floor.
The piece is a continuation of a long-running series of works the artist calls “A Series
of Vulnerable Arrangements.”
Galerie Yvon Lambert (New York/Paris) presents a solo show of paintings by Swiss artist Christian Vetter (born 1970). On view will be a series of abstract melancholic paintings in Vetter's signature grey, black and white palette.
The one-man show at Mary-Anne Martin Fine Art (New York) focuses on Gerzso
(1915-2000) in his Surrealist period. Included are an arresting self-portrait from 1945 and “Naufragio” (Shipwreck) from the same year. Also featured is the melancholy allegory, “La Barca,” a 1941 painting from the artist’s estate, which has rarely been illustrated and never before been exhibited.
Barbara Mathes Gallery (New York) mounts an exhibition of the work of Italian sculptor Fausto Melotti (1901-1986), fusing Constructivist technical rigor with the Surrealist fantas¬tical and biomorphic vocabulary. Melotti's finely wrought sculptures, all from the seventies, highlight the artists unique sculptural idiom and virtuosic command of line, light and space.
The Art Kabinett of Galeria Millan (São Paulo) features a never-before-exhibited series
of colored drawings by Mira Schendel (1919-1988), one of the most significant Latin-American artists during the second half of the 20th century. The exhibition highlights a rare body of work from the seventies.
“Marcel Duchamp: The Art of Chess” at Francis M. Naumann Fine Art (New York) is the first exhibition devoted to exploring the influence of Duchamp’s activities as a chess player on his artistic production. The exhibition features the magnificent early Cubist drawing “Study for Portrait of Chess Playersˮ (1911), the readymade “Trébuchetˮ (1917/64), a number of photographs of Duchamp (1887-1968) either playing chess or seated before a chessboard, and works by a number of Duchamp’s contemporaries - Man Ray, Max Ernst, Salvador Dalí, Arman and Sarah Austin - and chess-related pieces by contemporary artists such as Yoko Ono, Jennifer Shahade, Diana Thater, Douglas Vogel - some of whom have made works specially for inclusion in this show.
Carolina Nitsch Contemporary Art (New York) stages a digital slide projection “Samar Hussein” (2003-2009) by Vera Lutter (born 1960), presenting 500 images in an endless loop. The works commemorates the estimated 100,000 civilian deaths caused by the American-led occupation of Iraq since March 2003. Using information obtained from the Iraq Body Count project, names of the dead were applied to the sequence of projected
images of blooming Hibiscus plants.
The Paragon Press (London) presents a series of nine etchings by Anish Kapoor (born 1954). Anish Kapoor’s work explores the artist’s fascination with the ambivalence between depth and surface, presence and absence, darkness and light. In his latest series of etch¬ings - Kapoor’s largest to date - two main strands of his oeuvre – the pigment and the void-theme converge.
Sikkema Jenkins & Co. (New York) presents an Art Kabinett with new works by Amy Sillman (born 1966). Silman's drawings diagram pure information in lists and charts on the psychological and physical body. The paintings extend those drawing by combining vari¬ous forms found in those drawings with paint.
A one-man exhibition featuring “Gothicˮ sculptures by Wim Delvoye (born 1965) is on view at Sperone Westwater (New York). Delvoye's work celebrates paradox and builds on the Belgian surrealist tradition of combining two seemingly unrelated elements into a single work of art, like using the elegant style of gothic cathedral architecture to create models of functional equipment such as caterpillars, cement mixers and others.
The Allan Stone Gallery (New York) features figurative paintings and drawings by Wayne Thiebaud (born 1920). Thiebaud's figure paintings have rich paradoxical properties: They seem to suggest a completeness of physical being, yet painted as they are against a backdrop of colorless emptiness, evoke a feeling of isolation within the viewer.
Two Palms (New York) installs one of Richard Prince's new “After Darkˮ miniature library sculptures. Prince (born 1949) is best known for his critique of the insidious myths of American consumer culture. The “After Darkˮ book collection is based on a series of sixties era pulp fiction paperbacks by the same name. The collection is part Minimalist homage, part consumer culture critique, part interrupted absurdist American male fantasy.

The Breeder (Athens) presents a new installation by Dutch artist Marc Bijl, whose works are often statements about today's social structures, misusing slogans, logos, symbols and codes, and thereby reflecting upon nationalism, terrorism or religious extremism. Galleria Raffaella Cortese (Milan) presents recent works of Anna Maria Maiolino, who is central to the development of late-20th-century art in Brazil and Latin America. Maiolino shows new videos and photographs discussing the role of women in a patriarchal society.
Galeria Salvador Diaz (Madrid) will present works by Teresa Margolles from the perfor¬mances held at the Mexican Pavillon of this year's Venice Biennale, including photogra¬phy, cloths soaked in blood and mud from Mexican crime scenes together with a new video work by Marina Nunez. Galerist (Istanbul) exhibits two established Turkish artists, Mustafa Hulusi and Haluk Akakce. A new series of photo-realist oil-on-canvas-paintings by Hulusi will be juxtaposed to a presentation of Akakce's sculptures, which marks an ex¬ploration of a totally new medium for the artist.
The Annet Gelink Gallery (Amsterdam) mounts a group show whose emphasis lies on story-telling, featuring paintings and videos by Meiro Koizumi, new conceptual works
by Ryan Gander and collages and videos by David Maljcovic. Harris Liebermann (New York) presents a two-artist project with Simon Dybbroe Moller and Karl Haendel uniting their different approaches to art making. Galerie Mezzanin (Vienna) presents a dialogue of painted portraits by Katrin Plavcak and photographic works by Mandla Reuter, both artists sharing an interest in basic questions concerning image production, history and cultural politics.
Another group exhibition is on view at the booth of Nature Morte / Bose Pacia (New Delhi / New York) featuring works by three South Asian artists Jagannath Panda, Radhika Khimji and Suhasini Kejriwal, spanning several media - from large-scale paintings by Panda to the playful sculptures by Kejriwal to meticulous work on paper by Khimji. Prometeogallery (Milan) installs a group show on social investigation and historical transformation featuring a film by Rossella Biscotti, a sculpture by Regina Jose Galindo and a photographic series by Santiago Sierra, who illustrates the passing of time through a documentation of gypsies' teeth. A dialogue between Miriam Backström, Gardar Eide Einarsson and Superflex at the booth of Nils Staerk (Copenhagen) focuses on the con¬cept of the art work challenging the role of an artist in contemporary society.
Reena Spaulings Fine Art (New York) brings together Matias Faldbakken, Claire Fontaine and K8 Hardy, each one an artist who has elaborated a particular way of inter¬rogating the use of value in popular culture. Regina Gallery (Moscow) mounts a group show featuring Sergey Bratkow and Claire Fontaine both representing the debate about capitalist society in the International context. Bratkov's photographs portraying every day life since the collapse of the Soviet Union are opposed to Fontaine's new neon piece “Amerikaˮ in their K. font.
Peres Projects (Berlin/Los Angeles) mounts a solo show of new works by Dan Attoe, presenting paintings and neon sculptures. His neon sculptures are illuminated renderings of his line drawings, which are drawn from the world depicted in his paintings, presenting road-side motels, dive bars, cartoon animals and imagined conflicts. Franco Soffiantino Gallery (Torino) installs a site-specific solo presentation of works by Michael Beutler, consisting of a 3,000-square-meter large rolled-up carpet. The viewer only sees the open end of the carpet, revealing the pattern and the different materials and colors woven into it, hinting at what there would be to see if the carpet would be unrolled.
SKE Gallery (Bangalore) shows a dialogue of two Indian artists by presenting a skeleton of a wooden boat by Sudarshan Shetty and a video projection of water, creating an im¬age that is somewhere between a wave and a cloud, by Avinash Veeraraghavan. Three emerging Isreali artists - Sharon Ya'ari, Ofir Dor and Haim Almoznino - have a group presentation at the booth of Sommer Contemporary Art (Tel Aviv) each working in differ¬ent media and each representing different stages in their career.
In her solo show at the booth of The Third Line (Dubai), Iranian artist Monir Sharhroudy Farmanfarmaian will install a new mirror mosaic, a medium that has been used in Iran as an architectural ornamentation since the eighteenth century. The installation will transform the space into an experience reflecting colour and light, continually shifting in response to the movement of the visitors. Vitamin Creative Space (Guangzhou) presents a joint project titled “Interior,ˮ created by two Chinese artists Duan Jianyu and Huang He. The paintings by Duan and the installation by Huang form this “interiorˮ space and present a border where elements from daily life meet fantasy.

戊）海滨展区｜THE OCEANFRONT
Art Basel Miami Beach 2009
The Oceanfront area: Our new Platform for artistic programs
The new Oceanfront area in Collins Park has been created as a platform for virtually all of Art Basel Miami Beach’s cultural programming. Situated directly beside the beach, the Oceanfront marks the point where the artworld interfaces with the broader public. We are delighted to have Creative Time, the legendary New York City-based public art organization, as a partner in the launching of this new dimen¬sion of Art Basel Miami Beach. Having solicited many proposals, Creative Time and Art Basel Miami Beach commissioned Los Angeles artist Pae White to create this “social spaceˮ.
Free of any admission charge, the Oceanfront - located at Collins Park, between
21st and 22nd Streets - offers visitors many opportunities. In the mornings, they
can attend the discussion panels of the Art Basel Conversations series, featuring prominent figures from every artworld domain. And every night during Art Basel Miami Beach, the Oceanfront will feature at least one special event. The evening
series will be inaugurated by the annual Art Loves Music concert on the beach; the following evenings feature the Art Perform program curated by Jens Hoffmann of the Wattis Institute, the Art Video program curated by Meredith Johnson of Creative Time and the Art Film evening curated by This Brunner. Rounding out the experi¬ence, the Oceanfront Cafe will offer visitors the possibility to have brunch in the morning, then light meals and refreshing drinks from dusk to midnight.
Oceanfront project by Pae White
For the 2009 premiere of the Oceanfront, Pae White will create an immersive and interac¬tive cityscape that will provide a new experience with each visit. By day, large color blocks will dominate the landscape. At night, these color blocks transform into a shadowy group of buildings that house various merchants and performers. In addition to this labyrinth-like metropolis on the sand, White will design an open-air stage that will host the Art Video,
Art Film, and Art Perform programs and Art Basel Conversations.
Born in 1963 in Pasadena, CA, Pae White graduated from Scripps College, Claremont
and received her MFA from Art Center College of Design, Pasadena. White has exhibited internationally at institutions such as the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art, Scottsdale, Arizona (2008); Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington DC (2007); Contemporary Arts Center, Cincinnati, Ohio (2007); UCLA Hammer Museum, Los Angeles (2004). White was a featured artist in the Skulptur Projekte Münster, 2007 and in this year's Venice Biennale.
Art Basel Conversations
Thursday, December 3 through Saturday, December 5, 10 – 11 am
As in previous years, the Art Basel Conversations will be inaugurated by the Artist Talk
premiere, which this year features Chinese artist Ai Weiwei. The Art Basel Conversations are “Museum Directors: Change in Generation,” “Collector Focus: Latin America” and “The Future of the Museum: The Portable Museum.” There is time allotted after each Art Basel Conversation for the audience to engage with the panel in a more informal fashion.
“Museum Directors: Change in Generation” brings together the next generation of museum and institution directors to discuss their visions for the coming decades. In “Collector Focus: Latin Americaˮ prominent art collectors from Argentina, Brazil and Mexico explore the dynamic way in which Latin Americas' collecting scene has grown and international¬ized in the last decade. “The Future of the Museum: The Portable Museum,” will offer fresh insights on future models for exhibition-making.
Art Video
Thursday, December 3 and Saturday, December 5, 7 – 8.30 pm
Curated by Creative Time, the Art Video program includes discussions with the featured artists and curators.
Thursday, December 3, 7 – 8.30 pm
“Video Art and Mainstream Distributionˮ
Artist video is often created for and sited in pristine white box spaces, where there
is a deliberateness to the viewing environment and the context of the work is clearly articulated. Tom Sachs and his collaborators the Neistat Brothers challenge this tradition through humorous, low-tech, do-it-yourself performances presented both in the gallery and outside it. Like Sachs and the Neistat Brothers, Marc Horowitz uses media outlets such as YouTube and network television to distribute his hilarious interventions throughout the United States. These artists are innovators in exposing mainstream audiences to artist video, and pushing the borders between conceptual practice and everyday experience.

“Waffle Bikeˮ, 2008 (8:06), “Obstacle Courseˮ, 2006 (3.32), “Space Programˮ, 2008 (12:09) Marc Horowitz “Bishop, CAˮ, 2009 (4:10), “Nampa, Idahoˮ, 2009 (3:10), “Craig, COˮ, 2009 (4:02), “Wasenburg, COˮ, 2009 (3:08), “Paradise, INˮ, 2009 (2:10), “Ewing, KYˮ, 2009 (4:11) Followed by a conversation with Casey Neistat and Marc Horowitz
Saturday, December 5, 7 – 8.30 pm
“The Watcher and the Watchedˮ
Jill Magid, an artist who explores the personal boundaries of state surveillance, uses catalogued CCTV footage to construct film noir-like narratives with herself and her location as subject. Magid uses the tools of photographic evidence to explore the deeply conflicted condition of one's loss of control. In her work the camera, and its operator, move from anonymous watcher to intimate participant. In Kon Trubkovich’s videos, the camera takes on an aggressive and controlling identity. Tackling the tension between freedom and captivity, the subjects of his work participate in Sisyphean activities that keep them from escaping their condition. Both Magid and Trubkovich navigate the borders between personal liberty and institutional restraint, implicating the viewer in the power dynamics presented in their work.

Art Perform
Thursday, December 3 and Saturday, December 5, 9 pm
In its fifth year, Art Perform now features an intensified program of longer performances by rising international artists. This program will again be conceived by curator Jens Hoffmann, director of the CCA Wattis Institute, San Francisco. It will take place on Thursday and Saturday at 9 pm. The participating artists are Claire Fontaine, Simon Fujiwara, Loris Gréaud and Mario Garcia Torres, Kris Martin, and Kelly Nipper.
Thursday, December 3
9 pm - Simon Fujiwara
This autobiographical play, written and performed by the artist, restages his first encounter with a modern artwork, “Horizontal Stripe Paintingˮ by abstract expressionist Patrick Heron, when he was 11 years old. Featuring a counterfeit reproduction of the original canvas as backdrop, Fujiwara’s play re-enacts multiple versions of this encounter, taking us on an increasingly absurd art-historical and personal journey told through the memories of a repressed pubescent boy.
9.30 pm - Kelly Nipper
With the physicality of sculpture, memory of film, body of a camera and mind of a crystallographer, Nipper’s performance suspends time and space by counterbalancing expressive movement with the process of assembling a human-scale icosahedron to examine the patterns of a hurricane.
10 pm - Kris Martin
Flemish artist Kris Martin has never performed before and does not think of himself as particularly talented in this form of artistic expression. His contribution to Art Perform will be an autobiographical monologue describing how he became an artist. Sitting somewhere between reality and fiction, confession and storytelling, Martin’s piece will revolve around key (and perhaps embarrassing) moments of his own upbringing that all of us have experienced in one way or the other.
Saturday, December 5, 9 pm
9 pm - Claire Fontaine
In this performance, the punch mannequin called a Body Opponent Bag (BOB) is installed on the stage and several professional fighters are invited to use a variety of methods to beat it, displaying a frightening use of physical force and aggression. While BOB is an anthropomorphic object constructed for the purpose of being beaten up, he also functions in this performance as a ready-made sculpture that becomes the catalyst for a projection
of hatred.
9.30 pm - Loris Gréaud and Mario Garcia Torres
Using the film “Groundhog Dayˮ (1993) as a starting point, this project is an intervention
of repeating daily events, both almost unnoticeable and obvious, into the routine of the
art show. Mimicking the film’s fictional phenomenon of a loop in space and time, the daily repetition of an odd sequence of events creates a sense that the show is re-lived over and over again each day, culminating in an onstage interview between Art Perform curator Jens Hoffmann and Phil, the character from “Groundhog Dayˮ.
Art Film: “Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Radiant Childˮ
Friday, December 4, 8.30 pm
This year's Art Film event features an exclusive work-in-progress sneak preview of the documentary feature film “Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Radiant Child,ˮ preceded by a panel with a selection of participants, moderated by Bob Colacello. “Jean-Michel Basquiat: The Radiant Childˮ is directed by Tamra Davis and features a long and never-before-seen interview with Jean-Michel Basquiat (1960-1988), shot shortly before his death. The (90-minute) documentary further comprises footage of Basquiat in his studio, interviews with approximately 50 people who knew him intimately, rare archival material and work by the artist. Art Film is curated by Zurich film connaisseur This Brunner.
