Press Release Art Basel announces new Online Viewing Rooms concept, with two freestanding, thematic editions taking place in September and October
Featuring no more than 100 galleries in each edition and running over the course of four days, this new format will give Art Basel galleries the opportunity to present tightly curated exhibitions drawn from their programs, showing six works simultaneously. Live from September 23 to September 26, “OVR:2020” will be dedicated to works made this year, while “OVR:20c”, live from October 28 to October 31, will exclusively feature works created in the 20th century.
Both iterations will be open to proposals from all galleries that have been accepted to an Art Basel fair from 2018 onwards. Applications will be reviewed by newly formed Selection Committees that consist of prominent gallerists. The September “OVR:2020” Selection Committee comprises Sadie Coles, Massimo De Carlo, Mills Morán, Prateek Raja, Lisa Spellman and Jasmin Tsou while the Selection Committee for October “OVR:20c” comprises Emi Eu, David Fleiss, Thiago Gomide, Steven Henry, Lucy Mitchell-Innes and Mary Sabbatino.
In addition to ongoing platform software development, these new Online Viewing Rooms will introduce a new live-chat feature allowing visitors to directly engage with galleries. For the first time, Art Basel will charge for participation in the Online Viewing Rooms platform – a flat fee of CHF 5,000 for either of the upcoming two editions within the novel format.
Marc Spiegler, Global Director, Art Basel said: ‘While the art market still faces difficult times, we feel it is pivotal for us to continue exploring different ways of supporting galleries and engaging with our audiences. The highly-focused September and October editions of the Online Viewing Rooms provide our galleries with new opportunities in this highly dynamic moment.’
In December, regardless of whether Art Basel can proceed with the show in Miami Beach, another Online Viewing Rooms event will be taking place with details to follow in the early fall.
The Online Viewing Rooms will be available via the Art Basel website under artbasel.com/ovr and the Art Basel App. More details on participating galleries and their presentations will become available in the coming weeks.

THE TRIP was founded in 2012 by Joshua Brody and Tom Dugdale. We have worked site-specifically on many occasions, in locations ranging from a parking garage (Fool for Love) to a former military barracks (THE TRIP’s Macbeth, All The Rooms of the House) to one of San Diego’s hottest tattoo shops (Three Plays in a Tattoo Shop), where an audience member was (willingly!) tattooed as part of the performance. La Jolla Playhouse supported two major site-specific works by the company—a backyard barbecue staging of Our Town and Chekhov’s Three Sisters on a tennis court. These were cornerstone productions of La Jolla Playhouse’s Without Walls Festival. The Trip’s Orpheus & Eurydice, a multi-platform adaptation of the myth through online content, live performance, and film, was nominated for Best New Play by the San Diego Critics Circle. In 2018, THE TRIP created This might be the end at Theaterlab in New York.

Tom is invested in the idea of art as an articulation of resilience and human potential. He was a founder of THE TRIP, a performance group in San Diego that reconsidered canonical works, and he received the Princess Grace Award in Theatre. He is Assistant Professor of Theatre at The Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio.

About Dan Gerhartz
Daniel Gerhartz was born in Wisconsin in 1965 where he now lives with his wife Jennifer and their five children. His interest in art piqued at an early age when a teenage friend suggested they spend one dreary afternoon drawing. It was at that moment that he discovered his life work. Daniel began his art education at the American Academy of Art in Chicago where he studied in the classical tradition and immersed himself in applications of technique and design. After a brief stint in commercial art, he began pursuing fine art; visiting museums to study master works and painting alongside contemporary master artists. Daniel found his passion in painting from life. This direct approach to working with the figure and landscape allowed him to see and attempt to capture the infinite nuances of light, color, and form. This continues to drive his enthusiasm today. Since then he has been featured in solo and group shows across the country and has won numerous awards at prominent national invitational exhibitions and his work has been collected both nationally and internationally.
His subjects evoke a timelessness and idealism, yet for the most part Dan has drawn upon his home and community, including family and friends, for subject matter.
In addition to painting, Daniel has taught workshops for over 25 years and is excited to share his knowledge with many artists from around the world.
Daniel Gerhartz has established himself as an important American painter among the leading talents of our time. About his work Dan has said, “ My goal is to effectively record the richness of our human experience, the contrasts between life and death, the dance and dirge, the beautiful and common, joy and sorrow, hope and despair, while in the end, offering a message that points the viewer to an eternal hope”. In addition Dan states, “ As I paint my subjects from life and have the privilege of studying the awe inspiring breadth and depth of the beauty of the created world, it is humbling to ponder the greatness of our Creator.”

Introduction of Performance Art Education, written in 2018:
What is performance art as an art form?
Performance art is a form of contemporary visual art. It uses concept and body/action as the medium of creation. It has a live nature and is composed of the present interaction of time, space, people and materials.
Performance art is about authentic, and the presentation and representation of reality.
Body, material, environment, relationship and interaction of artist and audience of the present time and space… are all media of creating performance art. Artworks are without boundaries, whatever on the concept and form, time and duration, art media or even interdisciplinary.
Who can do performance art? Who can experience, learn, explore and try to create performance art?
It is an art form that could be done by everyone, that could be created without any visual or performing art background.
Through this performance art workshop, everyone can try to break through the frame of thinking, to explore life and living, express their inner feelings, find themselves, and discover infinite possibilities. People could create their own piece, express their true selves out of the frame, also could collaborate, interact and communicate with the others and the other pieces.
What is the possibilities of performance art?
The possibilities of cross-media art creations can be explored and experimented, such as performance x music, performance x literature, performance x installation, performance x theatre, performance x video, performance x photography, etc.
The theme and perspective could be ranged from the self, life, live, past experience, incident, to social and public issue, reflection, feeling, or critique.
Defining performance art, Monique Yim stated that, “It is an art form that uses body as a medium. The subject content, media, and material involved in the creation are very diversified yet finest. It can be social and public. It can be about oneself and self-contemplation. It can be thoughts about life, living, and existence. It is inward and outward at the same time, microscopically and macroscopically. It is sometimes a process, sometimes a result. It is the softest yet toughest. It is honest, real and virtual. It can be easy, unlike painting, sculpture, architecture and so on, performance art does not necessarily require certain skills and training, it requires perception and instinct, concept and transformation; it can be difficult, it should be driven from mind and spirit, and is the synthesis of present time, space, people (artist and audience), and objects (material and environment). In the art history, it is probably the most marginal and avant-garde, the most floating and controversial, however, for humans, it is possibly the most ordinary, natural, and secluded.” – Published in the book “Performance Art Laboratory Project 2014: International Performance Art Festival”, supported by Hong Kong Arts Development Council.
What special topics could Monique’s performance art (and interdisciplinary art) education programme or workshop provide according to her teaching experience?
Topics of Life Education, Positive Education and Civil Education, like
Self Development and Problem Tackling
Meaning of Life, Life Planning & Life Goals
Family & Inter-Generation
Life & Death Education
Value & Social Responsibility
Community and Society Concerning
Nature and Conservation

Bill Viola Interview: Cameras are Keepers of the Souls
“The real things are under the surface.” When video artist Bill Viola was 6 years old he fell into a lake, all the way to the bottom, to a place which seemed like paradise. “There’s more than just the surface of life,” Viola explains. American Bill Viola (born 1951) is a pioneer in video art. In this interview, Viola talks about his development as an artist and his most important breakthroughs. As a child, Bill Viola felt that the world inside his head was more real than the outside world. Viola discovered video in 1969. The blue light from the first camera he experienced reminded him of the water in that beautiful lake he almost died in when he was 6 years old. The first video piece Viola did on his own was “Tape I” from 1972 when he was still at university. Viola replaced the university art theories with his own secret underground path, through Islamic mystics, to Buddhism, to Christianity and finally to St John of the Cross. It was a very liberating experience for him when he first started calling his artworks what they actually were to him. Viola once felt that home videos should be kept separate to his artwork, but the sorrow of his mother’s death, and the difficulty of understanding this transition from life to “disappearance”, slowly changed his point of view. He realized that things could not be kept separate. Viola now sees the cameras as keepers of the soul, he explains. The medium holds onto life, a kind of understanding of feelings, keeping them alive. Bill Viola was interviewed by Christian Lund, Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, in London, 2011.
