Léna & Roselli Gallery will participate on VOLTA9, contemporary art fair in Basel from 10 to 15 June.

VOLTA9

VOLTA, Basel’s platform for cutting-edge art and emerging international talent, lights up the industrial Dreispitz Areal in its ninth edition this June. 74 exhibitors stage contemporary projects, representing Europe and the Americas, plus the Middle East, South Africa, and East Asia, with 58 galleries returning from previous VOLTA incarnations.

Solo presentations frame VOLTA9’s focused format, with a third of exhibiting galleries spotlighting a single artist from their rosters.

Participants:

• Sami Al Turki (Athr Gallery, Jeddah). His evocative photography appeared at Edge of Arabia (London) and Institut du Monde Arabe (Paris).
• Holton Rower (The Hole, New York). He activated his psychedelic pour paintings in a mesmeric performance in Fresh Basel, curated by the gallery at Villa Vecchia during Basel Week Miami 2012.
• Manor Grunewald (Galerie Fortlaan 17, Ghent). He is an upcoming artist-in-residence at Frans Masereel Centrum (Kasterlee) and participant in Young Flemish Masters at Hermitage Amsterdam.
• Debra Hampton (Gallery Poulsen, Copenhagen). Her mythical collaged drawings are included in the Museum of Modern Art, New York’s permanent collection.
• Light alchemist Leo Villareal (CONNERSMITH., Washington DC). His grandest-scale-to-date project The Bay Lights dazzled the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge’s 75th anniversary this March as the world’s largest LED light sculpture.
• Satoru Tamura (TEZUKAYAMA GALLERY, Osaka). His machine assemblages engaged visitors to Tochigi Prefectural Museum of Fine Arts (Utsunomiya) and Zachęta National Gallery of Art (Warsaw).

He took part to the 2011 Venice Biennale (Central Asian Pavilion), Ostalgia at the New Museum (New York) and Migrasophia, the debut curatorial exhibition and public program at the Maraya Art Centre (Sharjah).
