Drinkable Artworks

Cargobar Basel (CHE)

Renowned for their art installations, fine taste in djs, vjs and mixed drinks, the renowned Cargobar of Basel, Switzerland has dreamed up a contemporary palette of mixed drinks to be served as "artworks" for your enjoyment. The drinks are based around the titles of real artworks and the idea of cross culture. Their titles reflect this. Why order just a martini if you can order an work of artwork as a coctail? The list of drinks -rather let us say drinkable artworks- can be downloaded in the form of a "drinkable.digital.book" authored by Swiss Artist and Cargobar owner , Claude Gacon, without charge at the link below. Load it down and enjoy some the artistic charm that cultural cooperation has to offer!

Flights of Fancy

Till G. Bay (CHE) & Art Clay (CHE)

The vast collection of bird paintings in various cultures reflects a longstanding global fascination with our feathered friends. Balanced on two legs, like humans, and able to fly and swim, birds have been viewed as an engineering miracle in the East and West and have been studied by artists and scientists a like. The installation “Flights of Fancy” brings you into a world of flying birds and strolling flamingos. In a relevant cultural gesture to the six principles of painting by Xie He, the six „movable screens“ of the installation invite the public to be the artist, in that they „paint“ in a playful manner by displacing any of the six movable screens or just as they wander through the space. Their movements, like the brush of an artist, get linked like handwriting to personality and get translated into gestures of artistic vitality.

Not coincidentally, Singapore's Centro Club has labelled us as "Club Scientists": Also, their performances are deeply influenced by the momentary state of their innovative "Soundium" software platform, which makes the impossible in interactive visuals possible. They are being joined by the famed Canadian Keyboardists and Laptoper Steve Gibson, who they have been working with since 2006.
