THE ARTBOX PROJECT BASEL 1.0

​Every applicant will become part of the Art Basel Art Weeks 2017 in Basel. We are organising a very large art project which is moving around the world and is stopping at the best art locations in the world. As it stands, Art Basel is the most important art trade fair in the international art market. Every year, during these days in June, artists, art collectors, gallery owners and many VIPs meet up in Basel. A large proportion of the roughly 90,000 visitors travel via the Euroairport. The Euroairport welcomes around 7.1 million visitors per year! THE ARTBOX.PROJECT Basel 1.0 will take place on Euroairport’s events platform, next to the giant “Luminator” sculpture by Jean Tinguely. Jean Tinguely is an internationally recognised sculptor and the number one representative of kinetic art. The exhibition takes place on a surface measuring 300m² and is open daily during Art Basel Art Week from 4am-midnight from 14 June - 18 June 2017. All registered pieces of artwork are displayed on an oversized screen. Each piece of artwork (labelled with the name of the artist and the name of the artwork) will be on the screen for a substantial amount of time, and will be visible multiple times. A judging panel chooses 25 semi-finalists and 5 finalists from all of the registered pieces of artwork; all 30 artists may display their registered original piece of artwork. There will be a public vote during the exhibition. The winner will receive a collaborative contract with THE ARTBOX.GALLERY Switzerland. The closing date for registration is 30 April 2017.
