what to know jean tinguely 2647688

Swiss artist Jean Tinguely, born 100 years ago on May 22, 1925, is celebrated in a centenary retrospective at Pirelli HangarBicocca in Milan. Known for his kinetic sculptures—clattering, motorized assemblages of cogs, wheels, and found objects—Tinguely emerged from Dada influences in Basel and Paris to become a leading figure of kinetic art. His work satirizes technological reliance and explores themes of mortality, often incorporating animal skulls and planned explosions. Major retrospectives at the Stedelijk Museum (2016) and Pirelli HangarBicocca (2024) have revived interest in his oeuvre.

young collector habits 2658637

Maurice Mielcarek, a 43-year-old Zurich-based collector, exemplifies a new generation of younger art buyers who prioritize lasting engagement over speculation. At Zurich Art Weekend, he introduced friends to New York artist Travis Boyer, whose velvet paintings Mielcarek has collected for two years. This cohort, mostly in their 30s and 40s, takes a slower, research-driven approach to collecting, often building relationships with artists and galleries before purchasing. They focus on discovery, conceptual works, and supporting artists' visions beyond mere acquisition.

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.

Julian Charrière: ‘The deep sea is a phantasmagorical space’

French Swiss artist Julian Charrière presents 'Midnight Zone' at Museum Tinguely in Basel, an exhibition that plunges viewers into the oceanic abyss through four new commissions and earlier works. The show features video installations, sculptural works, and acoustic pieces that explore deep-sea ecologies, including a film set in the Clarion-Clipperton Zone targeted for deep-sea mining, and a rotating Fresnel lens installation that translates low-frequency noise pollution into vibration. Charrière’s multidisciplinary approach draws on fieldwork in extreme geographies like the Arctic and deep ocean.
