Kunsthalle Basel
May 2022
May 20–September 4, 2022 You, Who Are Still Alive is Michael Armitage’s first exhibition in Switzerland. The focus of the show is an ambitious group of new works—moody, sumptuously layered figurative paintings drawing equally from past and current events, recollections and mythology, popular culture and art historical references. What results are haunting and provocative reflections on politics, history, civil unrest, and humanity. On Friday, June 17 from 5–6 PM, Armitage will discuss his work in a talk at Art Basel with Ellen Gallagher and Manthia Diawara, moderated by Hans Ulrich Obrist. The conversation will take place at Auditorium, Hall 1.0 ground floor. This event is free and open to the public. To learn more, visit Art Basel.
