To call the "Brick" project that Klaus Littmann has realized together with 11 sculptors, 11 Basel building firms and 11 or more sponsors an "intervention" would be to describe it badly - or at least insufficiently.

Involved Artists:

Alfonso Hüppi (DE), Magdalena Jetelova (CZ), Thomas Virnich (DE), Michael Vessa (US), Enrique Fontanilles (ES), Marjetica Potre (SI), Tony Cragg (UK), Ian Hamilton Finlay (UK), Erwin Heerich (DE), Shirazeh Houshiary (IR), Peter Hutchinson (US)

The Project

To call the “Brick” project that Klaus Littmann has realized together with 11 sculptors, 11 Basel building firms and 11 or more sponsors an “intervention” would be to describe it badly – or at least insufficiently. To do so would be to gloss over precisely those characteristics – its lack of one-up-manship, its non-invasive style – which enables it to rehabilitate the truly tattered model of “art in the public arena” in such a surprising way.
