Sylvie Fleury: ‘My work is about freedom.’ Video, sculpture, readymades, photography – Sylvie Fleury has produced a seductive body of work since the early 1990s. In this episode of ‘Meet the artist,’ she reflects on her early days and inspirations, from starting a gallery in Geneva and the idea that it’s artworks, not artists, that have had the biggest influence on her work. — Find her work on view at #ArtBasel2022 . ‘Sylvie Fleury. Turn Me On’ is on view at the @pinacotecaagnelli through January 15, 2023. #SylvieFleury is represented by @spruethmagers (Berlin, London, Los Angeles), @thaddaeusropac (London, Paris, Salzburg, Seoul), @alminerech (Paris, Brussels, London, New York, Shanghai), @karmainternational (Zurich), and @mehdichouakri (Berlin).

What does harmony mean to you? We’re looking ahead to @laprairie ’s upcoming virtual exhibition, ‘The Women Bauhaus Collective,’ launching this August. For the project, La Prairie invited five young artists to interpret the idea of harmony, a concept central to the Bauhaus. Over the course of a year, the artists spent time at the Bauhaus Foundation campus in Dessau to develop their projects with the help of mentor Sabine Marcelis. Empowering women artists is at the heart of La Prairie's mission, and the virtual exhibition will be viewable online this summer. #LaPrairie #ThePursuitofHarmony

#Throwback to our @noraturato episode of 'Meet the artists' ahead of the artist's performance at #ArtBasel2022 ! Join us in Basel next Thursday, June 16 for the inaugural Unlimited Night for special performances, including a work by Turato that exemplifies the artist's use of language within her practice. Using her voice as her medium, Turato modifies her intonation, deliberately placing emphasis on certain words and sentences. Through her delivery, Turato mimics the speed and frenzy of a culture of language overwhelmed with the constant flow of information. See you soon in #Basel !

@ceciliavicuna : ‘The world of nature all over the planet is suffering because we are murdering it.’ Chilean-born poet and artist Cecilia Vicuña’s career spans half a century – and throughout, she has been focused on a few central themes: human-generated environmental crisis, extinction, and human rights. Yet it’s only in the last few years that she has received the critical recognition she deserves. Her practice was rediscovered over the last decade and is currently on view at the @guggenheim New York, and will soon be exhibited at the Art Basel in Basel show. — Presented in partnership with @nowness . #CecliaVicuña is represented @lehmannmaupin and will be exhibited at the Art Basel in Basel 2022 show. Her work is currently on view at the @guggenheim New York through September 2022.

@huthhayden : ‘My desire is to transform materials from our everyday lived experience’ At the core of sculptor Hugh Hayden’s practice is the concept of the American dream. ‘I’m thinking about the American dream as this desirable place that you’d like to be, but it’s also a difficult space to inhabit,’ he says in this episode of ‘Meet the artists.’ Learn more and see the artist's work on view at the Art Basel in Basel show, opening soon. — Presented in partnership with @nowness . ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #HughHayden is represented by @clearing_new_york_brussels and @lisson_gallery .
