Art Basel Parcours 2023
Thomas Houseago
June 12–18, 2023
Picassoplatz, Basel
Thomas Houseago’s bronze sculpture Gold Walking Man (2021) features in Art Basel Parcours 2023, which engages the public and fairgoers by placing site-specific sculptures, interventions, and performances in the city’s historic center. Houseago’s sculpture confronts viewers with a consciously rough-hewn vision of the human body in all its sensual and psychological complexity, mining a transitional zone that Houseago has described as “between being alive and dead, between being matter and something other than matter.”
