CONCERT
NEUBAU Eventfoyer
19:00–20:00
Ivo Dimchev: The Selfie Concert
In cooperation with Theaterfestival Basel and Kunsttage Basel. Tickets via Theaterfestival Basel
The Bulgarian performance artist and musician Ivo Dimchev is known for his radical actions that demand a lot from the audience and his performances that lie somewhere between burlesque, body art, Viennese actionism and Dada. His legendary appearance on The X Factor UK is unforgettable. Now, with his "Selfie Concert", he is making a cautious foray into the Kunstmuseum Basel, a venue that could hardly be more fitting, as Dimchev himself seems to have stepped out of the painting gallery of the Flemish Masters.
