Labor participates in Art Basel 2023
See you from June 15th to 18th at booth R26!

For the second time, Labor is participating in Art Basel's Galleries section, presenting this year in booth R26 (Hall 2.1), an international selection of recent works by mid- and long-standing career artists: American Artist, Antonio Vega Macotela, Claudia Gutierrez Marfull, Daniel de Paula, Irene Kopelman, Jerónimo Elespe, Nicholas Mangan, Pablo Vargas Lugo, Pedro Reyes and Roger White.

The ten artists will present works in a variety of media that share a common thread: earth. In its elemental form as well as in its political and economic condition, the presence of this material is in some cases suggested by mineral or vegetal elements, while in other cases the works highlight scenarios in which the collective spirit is marked by the threat of climate change and the overexploitation of resources.

Borrowing references and methodologies from science, history and literature to propose new forms of social and political organization, the works in Labor's booth explore the artist's ability to transform and propose new alternatives for our environment. By intermingling alerts and enablers of change, this selection of works reconsiders the cycles of history and how these patterns speak to the present, while suggesting new perspectives for the future.
