Quest’anno
la nuova edizione di ArtBasel si apre con la monumentale scultura di
Claudia Comte dal titolo “Now I won”.
Il
grande piazzale della Messeplatz accoglie questo particolare lavoro,
summa di articolate dinamiche del “divertimento” a cui il
pubblico stesso potrà parteciparvi, con anche la possibilità di
vincere vari premi “artistici”.
CS
'NOW
I WON', a new monumental outdoor installation by Claudia Comte
(1983), curated by Chus Martínez, Head of Art Institute at FHNW
Academy of Art and Design, Basel will be presented for the first time
during Art Basel. Situated directly on Messeplatz, in front of the
exhibition halls, the work will take the form of a fully functioning
funfair.
Here the artist will challenge the audience to various games
and activities including darts, bowling, arm wrestling, mini golf,
dancing competitions, and more. Comte’s own works – such as her
target paintings, wooden or marble sculptures – are part of the
very environment in which the audience will compete to win an
original artwork by the artist.
