Art Basel: Unlimited

“Unlimited” is Art Basel‘s exhibition platform for projects that transcend the classical art fair stand. It provides exhibitors the opportunity to present monumental installations, colossal sculptures, boundless wall paintings, comprehensive photo series, expansive video projections, and live performances. The works may be created in situ, especially for “Unlimited”.

Works are selected by the Art Basel in Basel Selection Committee, and curator Giovanni Carmine is responsible for their presentation. The infrastructure is then adapted to the needs of each work of art, and the overall layout is planned by the curator in consultation with the galleries. Displayed in a 16,000-square-meter hall, contemporary works and historical projects in this sector are exhibited and sold under optimal conditions.

This year “Unlimited” presents 70 large-scale installations by distinguished and emerging artists, including three live performances.

Art Basel’s “Unlimited Night” returns on Thursday, June 13, providing visitors the chance to experience the sector alongside special performances during extended opening hours. For the first time, visitors of “Unlimited” have the opportunity to vote for their favorite artwork for the whole duration of Art Basel. The “Unlimited People’s Pick” is announced towards the end of the show week.
