The People You Love Become Ghosts Inside of You and Like This You Keep Them Alive, is a new major work by London artist Robert Montgomery, who is best known for his poetic billboard pieces. The work uses a new form of ecological solar-powered LED lighting and the sculpture absorbs the sunlight of 1 day and recycles that exact amount of sunlight at night to illuminate over 1200 lights. In this way it is both ecological and also responsive to the weather- after sunny days it lights up brightly at night, after overcast or rainy days it lights up softer, so the sculpture has a sense of being a “living” object. The text is a simple but poetic idea- the idea that the people you love, whether they are dead or in some other way gone from you, are kept alive in your heart, just in the way that the sculpture recycles the sunlight of the day. The sculpture proposes the concept of a “ghost” as a positive idea- a spiritual presence that remains of someone you love, and is there to console you after they have departed. The installation at Scope Basel is the first outdoor installation of this major work outside of the UK.

Subtle Street Arts by Alexey Menschikov

When he’s not taking brain-tripping images of pigeons, Alexey Menschikov likes to manipulate his local environment FOR ART~!, utilizing the pre-existing cracks and blemishes of the urban landscape to gestalt-out his imaginative designs, so if you ever pass a splotch of paint on the ground that Alexey has touched and think to yourself: “did I really see Spongebob Squarepants?”, the answer is yes. Always yes.

Marina Abramovic meets Ulay

“Marina Abramovic and Ulay started an intense love story in the 70s, performing art out of the van they lived in. When they felt the relationship had run its course, they decided to walk the Great Wall of China, each from one end, meeting for one last big hug in the middle and never seeing each other again. at her 2010 MoMa retrospective Marina performed ‘The Artist Is Present’ as part of the show, a minute of silence with each stranger who sat in front of her. Ulay arrived without her knowing it and this is what happened.”
