Art Basel: Day Two
We were very excited to be visiting Dora Budor’s magnificent show ‘I am Gong’ at Kunsthalle Basel. I was incredibly impressed by the works, conceptual and visual at the same time. Dora was fascinated by the facade of an old concert hall and brought this into her work by creating vitrines of sand and volcanos which erupted according to the vibrations of the building work outside
