This summer the Messeplatz, sited directly in front of the buildings hosting the Art 41 Basel, will once again serve as a stage for art projects in the public space. It will feature 14 site-specific installations by renowned artists, including two of my favorite ones, the Chinese Ai Weiwei and the Brazilian Ernesto Neto. Details on their respective works are not yet know, but Neto is known for his signature sinuous Lycra shapes, which he illed with spices hung from ceilings. like giant fruits, the aroma of each shape enhancing the visual experience.
