The 2010 Curatorial Board, composed of Adam Budak, curator of Kunsthaus Graz and co-curator of Manifesta 7; Jacopo Crivelli Visconti, Critic & Curator, Sâo Paulo, Christoph Doswald, art critic and curator, Zürich; Jasper Sharp, curator and writer, Vienna; and Stephanie Smith, contemporary curator at Smart Museum of Art, Chicago, worked through more than 350 applications to select galleries from 28 countries.
This eighty-one strong group of both emerging and mature galleries, emphasize the internationalism of the board and the continued focus and ideology of VOLTA Basel: to showcase a strong, curatorial selected presentation of artwork from a range of galleries in experience and identity.
