VOLTA4 - Basel





After the brilliant U.S. debut of the Basel show with VOLTA NY, the engines barely have time to cool as VOLTA gets revved up for its traditional stop in Switzerland in June. VOLTA4, the fourth edition of Basel’s cutting edge art fair, brings several positions in new and emerging art from 63 galleries around the world. The ULTRA BRAG facility at the Basel harbour is the place to be this June during the Basel Art Week.

VOLTA4, the 2008 edition, will take place once again at the ULTRA BRAG premises in the Basel Harbour. VOLTA4 is proud to continue its partnership with Sallfort AG, one of Basel’s most reputable asset management firms, and Helvetia Versicherungen, insurance leader in the European market, who will return to sponsor the VIP Lounge. This year the Sallfort/Helvetia VIP will further be furnished by London-based design studio Rabih Hage, who will equip the Lounge with furniture pieces by some of today’s most cutting-edge designers. Further adding the the atmosphere will be the large-scale installation by German artists Wolfgang Winter + Berthold Hoerbelt who will design a waterside pavilion for visitors to eat and relax whose central focus will be the artwork Mensa, a die-cut steel table, long enough to accommodate 120 guests.

As instituted in 2006, the VOLTA4 selection was made with the input of the Curatorial Board to guarantee an independence of choices. The members of the VOLTA4 Curatorial Board are Christoph Doswald, Art Critic; James Elaine, Curator, Hammer Projects; Francesco Manacorda, Curator, Barbican Gallery; Chus Martinez, Director, Frankfurter Kunstverein; and Jasper Sharp, Curator and Writer. The Curatorial Board – together with founding gallerists Kavi Gupta, Friedrich Loock and Uli Voges and VOLTA’s Executive Director Amanda Coulson—have invited following galleries to Basel for 2008:
