On Monday June 13th, 2005, Friedrich Loock, Kavi Gupta, and Ulrich Voges open the doors to VOLTAshow01, an art fair that focuses on the next generation of emerging artists, presented by energized dealers with a unique vision for collectors who are looking for exciting work, presented in an atmosphere that is less market and more exhibition. For this first edition, exhibitors have planned special tightly-curated presentations—solo shows, installations, performances, sound pieces, or a series of changing solo events—as well as large-scale works for outdoor areas.
Cutting-edge galleries with distinctive visions—from the US, Europe, Mexico, Canada and Japan—have joined together to create a non-profit enterprise based on a spirit of commitment and cooperation, which provides a platform in Basel for fresh and exciting art shown in a spectacular location. The impressive, 25,000 sq. ft. Voltahalle, located along the River Rhine, features bright, sunlit spaces with soaring, three-story high ceilings. VOLTAshow01 is exploiting it’s prime location on the water with an exclusive VIP Terrace Café and Bar and restaurant with a sun deck that overlooks the river; visitors can reach VOLTAshow by a special ferry shuttle—which will connect the Voltahalle and LISTE—or in the VIP speedboat.
