TASTE at Tresor
21-24 September 2017
TASTE was delighted to participate in Tresor Contemporary Craft, which took place from 21 - 24 September 2017 in Basel, Switzerland.
In addition to existing artists such as the 2017 LOEWE Craft Prize winner Ernst Gamperl and BBC4 Women’s Hour Craft Prize 2017 finalists Alison Britton & Andrea Walsh, Taste presented, for the first time, artists such as Akiko Hirai, Paul Scott and Elisabeth von Krogh.
At Tresor, TASTE also presented work by Paul March and Baldwin + Guggisberg, both of whom featured in Special Projects, a section of the fair that showcased the scale and ambition of craft today while a number of Taste artists were selected for the thematically arranged Curated Spaces. In addition, Director of Taste, Monique Deul, participated in some of the talks held during the event.
