Art Basel in Basel, Pierre Huyghe interview, James Turrell
About this episode
Kabir Jhala, The Art Newspaper’s art market editor, joins Ben Luke to discuss this year’s Art Basel, the big sales and the wider mood music. Pierre Huyghe has an exhibition at the Beyeler Foundation in Riehen, just outside Basel, and Ben speaks to him about it. And this episode’s Work of the Week is As Seen Below – The Dome, a Skyspace by the US artist James Turrell, which opens this week at ARoS, the museum in the Danish city of Aarhus. Ben speaks to the museum’s director, Rebecca Matthews, about the work, and to Stine Louring, an anthropologist and specialist in lighting design, who is leading a research collaboration between ARoS and Aalborg University exploring the neurophysiological and experiential effects of visiting As Seen Below.
Art Basel in Basel continues until Sunday, 21 June.
Pierre Huyghe, Beyeler Foundation, Riehen, Basel, until 13 September.
As Seen Below – The Dome, a Skyspace by James Turrell, ARoS, 19 June.
