Vicious Vitamins - The Basel art fairs issue

Dear friends,

The first issue of DIY-gonzo-art publication Vicious Vitamins will be released during the Basel art week within Volta, Liste and Scope as well as in a selected number of museums, galleries and hotels, bars, etc in the city of Basel.

The first issue will feature interviews from the Directors of Art 40 Basel, Volta, Liste and Scope. We will also publish an interview and pictures of Danish artist Troels Carlsen, several pages about artist-run spaces across Europe and a focus on "rock gig posters", an unknown although fantastic bridge between art and music.

Vicious Vitamins will probably contain a Paul H-O free column and our favourite gallery girls !!!

See you in Basel !!

Antoine
