VOLTA8 Basel -- Curatorial Board 2012

 

Instead of the usual custom of having galleries showcase a wide range of artists, the VOLTA8 curatorial board strongly encourages exhibitors to dedicate their booths to fewer artists and establish a dialogue between oeuvres.

 

This increased curatorial involvement puts the event’s focus on the artists themselves – on their visions, processes, and creations – rather than exclusively on prestige or name recognition.

 

 

 

The Curatorial Board for 2012 is composed of:

 

Amanda Coulson – Bahamian/American art critic and Director of The National Art Gallery of The Bahamas

 

Christoph Doswald – Chairman of the Working Committee for art in public spaces in Zurich

 

Ulrich Voges – Art historian and economist, co-founder of VOLTA in Basel and New York and gallerist

 

David Risley – Director of David Risley Gallery, Copenhagen and founder of Zoo Art Fair, London
