VOLTA

June 11 - June 16, 2012

Dreispitzhalle
Basel, Switzerland


VOLTA is a platform for presenting the vision of contemporary art galleries of global repute whose artists represent new and relevant positions for curators and collectors alike. Conceived to bridge the gap between Basel's pre-existing fairs, VOLTA showcases galleries – whether young or mature – that choose as their mandate to work with the most exciting emerging artists.

The galleries are selected by an annually changing group of Curators to give each edition its own clear identity and to redirect focus back on the art producers as well as their representing galleries.

Nore than 200 emerging artists from all over the world will assemble for VOLTA8 which returns to the newly renovated Dreispitzhalle, the centerpiece of Basel's latest hot spot. The Dreispitz Areal is a former warehouse district and now an artistically-vibrant neighborhood best known for the Schaulager.
