Clearing Gallery Opens Maison Clearing in Historic Villa During Art Basel
During Art Basel in Basel, running June 19–22, 2025 at the Exhibition Center, New York/Los Angeles gallery Clearing is launching Maison Clearing in a historic four-story villa near Messeplatz. The initiative aims to counter fair fatigue by prioritizing dialogue and exchange in a salon-style setting, open free to the public. Curated by Olamiju Fajemisin, the exhibition features sculptures, paintings, site-specific installations, and video works by an international, intergenerational group of artists, celebrating the gallery's 15th anniversary. The program includes aperitifs, dinners, and evening film screenings in a wood-paneled attic, with limited capacity. Visitors are invited to treat the villa as a home, fostering intimacy and discovery.
