Preparing for Volta Basel 2026
The CAMP Gallery is excited to announce our attendance at Volta Basel this coming June 17-21. Located in Booth C13 will be our exhibition “The Real, The Imagined and The Necessary” featuring artists, Karola Pezarro, Molly Gambardella, Aurora Molina, Silvia Trappa, Giulia Ronchetti, Dominik Schmitt and Stefano Ogliari Badessi.
Reality and imagination converge to trace the outline of our present environment, grounding us in a society we often forget we belong to. The works presented by each artist weave bold color schemes with a wide range of approaches to material manipulation in order to survey the present, offering an alternative perspective to our understanding of culture and community as we know it. In an active search to understand the changing world around us we often separate the real from the imagined as two opposites, dismissing their overlap and the necessity of having both. This exhibition is a space dedicated to challenging cultural expectations with motifs drawn by nature, environment and mythology.
