The artist Trevor Paglen will co-curate the third edition of Zero 10, Art Basel’s initiative dedicated to art of the digital era, that will take place in Basel in June. He will work alongside digital art strategist and Zero 10 program lead and curator Eli Scheinman.
The initiative will include 20 exhibitors showcasing artists including Hito Steyerl, Avery Singer, Andreas Gursky and Vera Molnar. The Basel-based HEK (Haus der Elektronischen Künste) will also present a non-selling exhibition on the history of net art.
‘Looking across the last 50 years of instruction based and computational work, from postwar experimentalism through today’s generative practices, I see a continuous thread: a body of work that understands the digital as a medium with its own properties, possibilities, and demands’, said Paglen in a statement. ‘The showcase becomes an intergenerational conversation about what it means to be alive in the digital era, led by artists who were thinking seriously about these questions long before the rest of the world caught up.’
