6. SOUNDBITE (English) Maike Cruse, Art Basel Show Director:
“Every year I’m looking forward to all the 289 galleries from 42 countries that we are inviting to participate at Art Basel. We know pretty much what they bring every year but still it’s very exciting to go around the halls on the first day and really see their presentations that are very high quality. I saw fantastic works today from very emerging (artists) at ‘Statements’, very young artists like Bagus Pandega.”

9. SOUNDBITE (English) Bagus Pandega, artist:
“I can say it’s experimental. It’s really technical. I do a lot of exploration based on the ideas and also on the tinkering, technical things, so it’s quite complex. I hope it’s easy for the audience to see, but it’s not easy for the artist to build something like that.”

14. SOUNDBITE (English) Magnus Resch, art market expert:
“Geopolitics have a tremendous impact on the art market. There are only a handful of art buyers, and if they are influenced by geopolitical events, sentiments, then they stop buying, and the art market feels it. This market is heavily driven on sentiments, so geopolitical events around us can influence that tremendously.”

31. SOUNDBITE (English) Stefanie Hessler, curator of Parcours section of Art Basel:
“For Parcours this year I chose the theme ‘Second Nature’, thinking about the ways that humans have altered nature, how the boundaries between nature and artificiality are becoming ever more blurry. And also how streams of endless information, and images proliferating online change our behaviour.”
