The fair dynamically redefines creative boundaries by establishing a continuous dialogue between contemporary audacity and ancestral expertise across two major curated sections: fire and māteria. As a living manifesto of the tangible, this new fair proudly champions physical craftsmanship against the growing immateriality of the digital and virtual era.

Within its spacious 4,000 m² exhibition venue, participating galleries will showcase meticulously curated booths alongside specialized XL areas designed for monumental, large-scale artworks. Anchored in the prestigious Messe and Congress Center Basel, the fair is strategically set to welcome elite VIP collectors, ensuring maximum international visibility and market impact from day one.
