In the box we present Brasilian artist Adriano Costa's CEMITÉRIO, curated by Samuel Leuenberger and Benedikt Wyss. Igniting a tension between the sacred, the profane, and pop, Adriano Costa provokes a reflection on the real value of works of art, addressing the question of how materials can be transmuted into an art object and vice versa.

The exhibition series is part of the tricontinental collaboration with artists from Europe, South America and Africa initiated and developed together with Waza Art Center, Lubumbashi.

Open on Fridays 2–5 PM, during Art Basel Fr–Sun 2–6 PM, Kunsttage Basel 2–4 September Fr–Sun 10 AM–6 PM, closed 8 July–8 August
