LISTE 2015

Group Exhibition: Sad, And Not So Sad, Tropics
Booth 2/6/2
Basel, Switzerland

Throughout the ages, much has been written and said about Latin America: a continent bestowed with unparalleled beauty and countless resources. However, where there is light, there is darkness, and where there is prosperity there is also despair. It is the site of never-ending contrasts, where beauty walks hand in hand with a darker reality.

Based on the title of Claude Levi Strauss’ renowned book Tristes Tropiques, this exhibition aims to create a poetic reflection of some of the most jarring contradictions afflicting Latin America today through the work of some of its most promising artists. Clashing realities live in and amongst the work, sometimes crude and violent, other times, curiously glorious and poetic.
