For the 2024 edition of Art Basel at Messe Basel in Basel, Switzerland, GRAY presents in the fair’s Galleries and Unlimited sectors.
In the Galleries sector (Booth F7), GRAY features works by artists from Modern and Contemporary programs, including Jean Arp, McArthur Binion, Constantin Brancusi, Alexander Calder, Torkwase Dyson, Theaster Gates, David Hockney, Alex Katz, Ellsworth Kelly, Judy Ledgerwood, Joan Mitchell, Pablo Picasso, Jaume Plensa, Richard Pousette-Dart, Leon Polk Smith, Evelyn Statsinger and Frank Stella.
GRAY and Pace are pleased to co-present at Art Basel Unlimited Errantry, a major sculpture installation by Torkwase Dyson that deploys geometric forms to create an interactive, architectural space. Dyson references histories of enslavement and architecture of dispossession to further examine human geography and propose spatial liberation strategies within a rubric Dyson calls ‘Black Compositional Thought.’ The artist states, ‘as we navigate built environments we did not design, we’ve learned through our experiences that authority over one’s mind/body in the labyrinth of forms, spaces, and objects is a question of race, composition, and materiality. We must be able to interrogate current infrastructure with new design solutions to advance environmental conditions with our political and material futures in mind.’
