Dutch multimedia and performance artist Melanie Bonajo is on a roll. After landing an International Studio & Curatorial Program (ISCP) artist-in-residence this spring and winning the MK Award, Rotterdam's new visual art prize, she is presenting her work at VOLTA10 in Basel.
Captivated by concepts of the divine, Bonajo explores the spiritual emptiness of her generation through photographs, performances, and films.
She questions our shifting relationship with nature and tries to understand existential questions by looking at our domestic situation and changes to humanity at large.
Goicolea's installations, which place the viewer firmly within an “active” role, are on view at AKINCI Amsterdam during Art Basel Week at VOLTA10 through June 21, 2014.
GalleryLOG has partnered with VOLTA, in association with Blouin ARTINFO, to produce a series of unique short videos highlighting a selection of emerging artists for the art fair's Basel edition.
