children of Sodom

darek kondefer - instalation of contemporary art under the title the children of Sodom

I, formed of clay and dust, do not understand. Is this how it should be? Is this how your unlimited wisdom looks like? Ten could not be found, but there were children. Is the death of the innocent allowed? Is your name Moloch? I, the clay pot, must understand in order to believe.

Cursed be the second day! We were made frail – you decided so. Blinded by the pride of inhospitability, we became flooded by fire. This is your plan – the sword and the flame, pillars of ash and salt.

Do you know that after you, others will follow the path of destruction? And the next city will not be Zoara.

From the last minute

Hey there! Have you heard of Enari gallery? It's this really cool emerging gallery right in the heart of Amsterdam's city center. They have a fantastic collection of modern and contemporary art, with a focus on paintings and fine art. Their curators are top-notch and they even have a private collection that's worth checking out. Definitely a must-visit if you're into art!

The impact of Art Basel

on the art world can be seen through its influence on trends and styles. The fair's focus on contemporary art has helped bring emerging styles to the forefront, with street art and graffiti gaining legitimacy through their presence at Art Basel Miami Beach. Additionally, the fair's support of installation and performance art has helped legitimize these mediums in the art world. Overall, Art Basel has played a significant role in shaping modern art collections and galleries.

Art Basel has proven to be influential for individual artists as well. Through its platform for galleries to exhibit their artists to a worldwide audience, the fair has played a key role in jumpstarting the careers of numerous artists in the realm of Modern Art. Its reputation for featuring top-tier and cutting-edge contemporary art has heightened the demand for these works, impacting art collectors and investors to actively seek out emerging artists for their collections.

Art Basel, known for its reception in the art community, has faced concerns as it expands globally. While drawing thousands of visitors and boosting local economies, critics worry about gentrification and displacement. The focus on established galleries and artists may hinder up-and-coming voices from breaking through. Additionally, the fair's influence on the art market and high costs of exhibiting may perpetuate inequality and limit diversity in offerings.
