unlimited art

Apart from the main 3 floors of world-class exhibitors at Art Basel, we spent a fair amount of time in Art Unlimited which spotlighted 60 unconventional works, everything from out sized sculptures and installations to video projections. The highlights were Rina Banerjee's hanging feathered sculpture, Thomas Hirschorn's 44 hotel rooms, Qui Anxiong's death train and my very favorite video installation which made you feel like you were looking up at drowning people being rescued by a helicopter in a Fuerzabruta-esque kind of way. (name of artist?) Reflection of moving silhouettes on the ceiling, lapping waves, distorted sounds of an aircraft and voices of frightened people.... Perhaps you were being left behind or falling deeper into the dark, deep sea...Not happy but definitely thought provoking.
