art basel swimming rhine river 2658680

Art Basel in Switzerland has a unique ritual: many attendees swim in the Rhine River, which flows through Basel. Participants use waterproof bags (often the fish-shaped Wickelfisch brand) to store clothes and belongings, then float downstream from the Museum Tinguely past the Trois Rois hotel. The practice is embraced by dealers, advisers, artists, and art handlers alike, with some describing it as a rejuvenating escape from the fair's intensity. However, not everyone is a fan—gallerist David Nolan calls the river "dirty, dangerous, deeply infested with microplastics," and some attendees avoid it due to concerns about pollution or safety.
