Between dark and light. The Messe Basel
The impressive exhibition center, the Switzerland’s most important congress hall and certainly one of the most important in Europe, is used to host prestigious arts events like the Art Basel in June.
Regrettably, the addition of the New Hall, one of the most attractive urban meeting points in the whole of the country, is only accessible during exhibitions.
That's why is basically impossible to join the Messe's amazing spaces and building structures without the usual crowd attending the openings.
This exclusive report allows to enter the nearly 2.000 m2 volumes and extension designed in 2013 by Herzog & de Meuron for a unique tour experiencing the cutting edge architecture solutions of one of the most famous congress halls of the world.
Her work is in the permanent collection of the Fondazione Dario Mellone in Milan and it is online on LensCulture, blink, Dodho, Fondo Malerba per la Fotografia, L’Oeil de la photographie, Saatchi Art, Aesthetica Magazine, All About Photo, OpenEye, Glamour Affair, Artribune, Il Giornale dell’Architettura, Exibart, Marika Magazine, Iconic Artist Magazine, Aesthetics of Photography, Perimetro, Artdoc Photography Magazine and Better Photography.
Her name is included in the Art in America's Guide 2017 and in the TOP 100 artists 2018 by the Circle Foundation for the Arts-France.
