Art Basel, Parcours: Sarah Sze, Timepiece (2021)
Sarah Sze's first large-scale outdoor video work will be a key feature of this year's Art Basel Parcours, which engages the public and fairgoers by placing site-specific sculptures, interventions, and performances in the city's historic centre.
Timepiece (2021) by night transforms the facade of a four-story building at the top of the historic Rheinsprung into a plume of images seemingly let loose from their frame. A multitude of randomly coded video sequences—a moon, a card trick, an electrical storm, and more—appears at dusk, rising, pixelating, glitching, and eventually dispersing. Like nature, they seem to have unpredictable lives of their own. Timepiece is a collection of images digitally shuffled, like a deck of cards, in real time. Both artist and viewer experience a live collision of images in an evolving composition continually made in the moment. In this mesmerising digital process, Sze further explores her original concept of timekeeping as a key framework for knowledge, meaning, and the record of life lived. This project is supported by Gagosian.
Art Basel, Unlimited: Meleko Mokgosi and Albert Oehlen
Art Basel Unlimited 2021, curated by Giovanni Carmine, will include major works by Meleko Mokgosi—presented in collaboration with Jack Shainman Gallery, New York—and Albert Oehlen. Launched in 2000, Unlimited is an exhibition platform for exciting large-scale projects that transcend the limits of the standard booth.
