At Art Basel 2026, William Mapan presents Paysages Plausibles, a new body of work exploring how landscapes can emerge from code.

Developed over nine months of research into texture, form, and space, the series is built on a simple principle: define the rules, then allow the unexpected to unfold.

Through a custom generative system, Mapan creates speculative territories where each landscape exists as a unique world of its own.

Alongside the paintings, Dances on Shadows (DOS) invites visitors inside the generative process itself, watching artwork rendered live by a machine plotter.

Together, these works trace the passage from algorithm to image, revealing new landscapes.

Why is Bianca Censori at Art Basel?

Vanessa Beecroft’s Untitled (Izanami) casts the architect, designer, and newly emerging artist as the central figure in a haunting meditation on ritual, transformation, and identity.

Presented by Lia Rumma Gallery at Art Basel Unlimited, the work extends beyond film into an immersive installation of fragmented bodies and domestic objects.

The appearance follows Censori’s recent artistic debut, BIO POP, a performance and exhibition in Seoul that marked the first chapter of her own seven-part contemporary art series exploring domesticity and the female body.

Why are artists so obsessed with fire?

Fire is the oldest subject in painting. Prometheus, Turner, the burning of Rome. Artists have always used it to ask the same question - what are we capable of, and at what cost?

Mauro Martinez turns that question on the present. The things burning in his Cursed Images series aren’t monuments or battlefields. They’re swings, laptops, cars, toilets. The infrastructure of ordinary life, consumed.

Every breath is an act of destruction.

Ivana Bašić spent six years building a machine that breathes like the artist - pneumatic hammers gradually destroying the alabaster stone at its heart, timed to run out before the show closes.

Her work has always been about the fragility of the body and what survives it.

“For the body, breathing is a slow, degrading process - yet at the same time, it is life-giving.”

Ivana Bašić — Passion of Pneumatics, 2020–24.
Schinkel Pavillon, Berlin.

“The Daydreaming paintings are about being too wrapped up in one’s own mental torment. They are about sleeping in the daytime, and missing - or not being aware of - the sunshine.”

The Future Is Stupid.

Antony Micallef has spent twenty years painting the world as it actually is - consumed, violent, contradictory. Working in thick impasto oil on industrial aluminium, he throws paint from a metre and a half away with foot-long brushes - it folds, curls, builds into portraits from the wreckage of contemporary life: politicians as health warnings, soldiers dissolving into their own excess.

“It’s like we have diabetes from the malicious, processed clickbait diet we’re fed, but we’re malnourished.”

His first major survey exhibition brings together over fifty works alongside a new series made during a year-long residency in Munich. On now until 18 October at MUCA.
