The-solo-project is
now in its fourth year and is bigger and stronger than ever.
The fair has grown to more than forty choice international
galleries who will showcase works from both well known leading
artists and promising newcomers too.
The fair
will take place in the voluminous St Jakobshalle and will now
occupy the grand main hall. The hall is easy to reach by
public transport and car alike. Tram n° 14 and bus n° 36 stops
in front of the hall and there is also a 15 minutes
shuttle-bus service to and from Art 42 Basel provided. Besides
the hall there is a spacious parking lot.

The-solo-project began in
2008 and has developed a unique concept of solo and
two-person-presentations, giving the artworks more ‘room to
breath’, the artists more room to make a clear presentation
and the visitors an environment in which the art can be
considered as a body of work rather than as single
works.
Again, the-solo-project will create an
exciting, welcoming and attractive platform for all dealers to
showcase, and for the collectors, critics, journalists and art
lovers a more in-depth understanding of the exhibited work. In
previous years, collectors appreciated this opportunity to
take well-informed decisions and the Solo Project organisers
are convinced that every visitor will again enjoy the clearly
structured idea and layout of the fair.
