During the third week of June, the world art market gathers in one place and one place only -- at the world’s most prestigious modern and contemporary art fair, Art 36 Basel, the International Art Show, June 15-20, 2005. Over 275 exhibitors from more than 25 countries are on hand, including the U.S. (64 galleries), Germany (49), Switzerland (37), France (26), Britain (24), Italy (14) Spain (8), Belgium (7) and Austria (7) -- see below for a complete list. In addition to the gallery booths, Art 36 Basel has organized several other special events and exhibitions: Art Unlimited. A special hall dedicated to large and innovative projects, presenting everything from outsize sculptures and installations to video projections, murals and performance art. Approximately 72 works are on view, by artists from 27 countries. Among the attractions are a new performance by Marina Abramovic, (courtesy Sean Kelly Gallery, New York), a 90-minute-long drumming performance by Doug Aitken (Galerie Presenhuber, Zurich, and 303 Gallery, New York), a 1984 stainless steel sculpture by Walter de Maria (Peter Freeman Inc., New York), and a replica -- in transparent acrylic -- of Le Corbusier’s “Cabanon” living unit by Olaf Nicolai (Eigen + Art, Berlin). Art Statements. A special section, always good for discovering new talent, features 17 solo shows by young artists from six countries. The artists are Ian Kiaer (Alison Jacques Gallery, London), Wade Guyton (Galerie Francesca Pia, Bern), Cheyney Thompson (Andrew Kreps Gallery, New York), Ryan Gander (Annet Gelink Gallery, Amsterdam), Jim Drain (Greene Naftali, New York), Christine Rebet (Galerie Kamel Mennour, Paris), Katja Strunz (Galerie Giti Nourbakhsch, Berlin), Michael Beutler (Neff, Frankfurt am Main), Katy Dove (Hales Gallery, London), David Colosi (Galerie Catherine Bastide, Brussels), Alexander Wolff (Galerie Mezzanin, Vienna), Scott King (Rosso, Turin), Nate Lowman (Maccarone Inc., New York), Damien Deroubaix (In Situ, Paris), Joanne Tathamne & Tom O' Sullivan (Sutton Lane, London), John Korner (Wilson, Copenhagen) and Kristina Solomoukha (Thibault & de la Châtre, Paris). Artists books.

Among the attractions are a 270-cm-high fountain by Manfred Pernice (Galerie Neu, Berlin, and Anton Kern Gallery, New York), a Happening involving a pavilion built of ice by Allan Kaprow (Galerie Hauser & Wirth, Zurich & London), a message projected into the sky via laser by Jonathan Monk (Meyer Riegger Galerie, Karlsruhe) and, from Atelier van Lieshout (Galerie Krinzinger, Vienna), something called “Bar Rectum,” a fully-functioning watering hole set up in an outsized plastic intestine. Art Film. Every evening, the Stadtkino Basel is screening films in a program selected by Gianni Jetzer, director of the Kunsthalle St. Gallen. Among the premieres are the first full-length movie by Tracey Emin and a documentary by Sydney Pollack on architect Frank O. Gehry.
