Kemil Bekteši and Coco Klockner Shine at Liste 2026
At Liste Art Fair Basel (June 15–21, 2026), two artists stood out for their intimate, material-driven works. Kemil Bekteši, presented by Galerija Manuš (Split/Zagreb, Croatia), combines stainless steel structures with bread dough that grows and drips during the fair. His work references his father's labor as a bakery worker and broader Kosovian migrant labor conditions. Coco Klockner, shown by Romance (Pittsburgh, USA), presents a tower of tool and microphone cases with 3D-printed wood-filler hearts, exploring material deception and transness. Klockner's practice includes silver text installations. Liste Art Fair took place at Messe Basel, Hall 1.1.
