Creative Time - Basilea Art Project - May 2018

Joel interviewed Elvira Dyangani Ose of Creative Time, director of a public art project Basilea that will be at the Art Basel fair this June 2018. Basilea invites us to reflect on a city’s possibilities through a series of immersive projects connecting the City of Basel, its residents and the 95,000+ fairgoers anticipated to attend Art Basel. Conceived by artists Lara Almarcegui, Isabel Lewis and architecture studio Recetas Urbanas led by Santiago Cirugeda, Basilea will open May 23, and culminate the week of Art Basel, June 11-17, 2018. This will be Creative Time’s first international public project and the first collaboration between the artists. The project is a first of its kind for the Art Basel fair, and has an "open call" feature that will allow members of the Basel community to participate in the making of art!
