Art Basel in Basel | Timelapse | Reinhard Mucha


🔎 Spotlight on ‘Island of the Blessed’ by Reinhard Mucha, in the Unlimited Sector of #ArtBasel in Basel.

‘Island of the Blessed,’ is the ironic title of this a two-part, in-situ, sculptural room installation, conceived by Reinhard Mucha for his 2016 show “Schneller werden ohne Zeitverlust” at Lia Rumma Gallery in Milan.

Drawing inspiration from Salvatore Settis’s influential book “If Venice Dies,” Mucha reflects on the degradation of historical urban landscapes. The installation delves into the role of memory, offering profound reflections examining our urban reality. Central to this monumental, poetic work is the ambient sound of aircraft taking off over the sea of houses (of Milan) symbolized by the waves of 5,000 Mediterranean roof tiles.

Experience ‘Island of the Blessed’ in the Unlimited sector in-person through Sunday, June 16, in our Unlimited sector presented by Galerie Bärbel Grässlin, Luhring Augustine, Lia Rumma and Sprüth Magers.
