Basel – SCOPE, the art show that has established its name by curating cutting edge contemporary art from around the world, proudly returns to Basel for the fourth year. Running concurrent with Art Basel for the next three years, SCOPE’s new high profile venue at historic Kaserne is just blocks from Art Basel 41. Located in the heart of the city, SCOPE Basel’s new home, a pavilion offering over 5,000 m², will provide the real opportunity for gallerists, collectors, curators, artists, critics and art lovers alike to experience a view of the contemporary art market available nowhere else.

The unique SCOPE experience expands this year in partnership with Kaserne’s cultural organizations, featuring: film, music, theatre and performance. "This season we want to highlight SCOPE’s lead role as creative R+D for a wider audience of taste makers who make art their business" says SCOPE President & Founder Alexis Hubshman. "Introducing artists, curators, and cutting-edge galleries to new international audiences has made SCOPE the most comprehensive destination for the emerging art world." The fair opens to Press and VIP’s on Tuesday, June 15 with the FirstView benefit.
Founded in 2002, SCOPE has grown extensively in both volume and stature. Alexis Hubshman, President of SCOPE explains, "We’ve evolved from an industry niche to an influential global contributor, with ongoing events, educational programmes, and the SCOPE Foundation 501(c)3.

What does the human body have in common with the Masterstudio Design?
Every organ is unique in its size, shape and consistency. They all come from a different functional background and are assigned to different tasks within the human body. But as a matter of fact, only by working together can they ensure life. The same applies to us, the students of the Masterstudio Design: we all come from different design disciplines, with the aim to work together in an interdisciplinary discourse that allows new perspectives on design, an exploration of uncharted territories and the discovery of new design skills.
The project "Everybody is" consists of a room installation with a seating landscape that represents the idea of interdisciplinary work and gives an insight into student projects. It has been originally designed for Milan's Furniture Exposition 2010 by a group of students of the Masterstudio Design.
SCOPE Film | Daily
SCOPE Film presents SCOPE Subject a Short Subject Competition curated by Sebastian Kolliker & Julian Gresenz
Short film is a technical description originally coined in the North American film industry in the early period of cinema. The description is now used almost interchangeably with short subject.
SCOPE Subject presents short films of young local film makers from Basel and the surrounding areas during the SCOPE Art Show at a screening in the Reithalle at the Kaserne Areal.
Young Swiss filmmakers will be sending in their short film submissions in three categories:
Art Movies
Music Videos
Short Movies
All films will be selected by a group of local curators and the films will be screened on 19 June from 12-3pm. The short films will be shown in three blocks. An expert jury will choose the winning short film for each category at the screening-event.
SCOPE Subject was above all set in place to start an exchange of stories, ideas and opinions between the filmmakers, after the screening and during the ACOPE Art Show. The presence of the selected artists is therefore required and hoped-for.
