Why Is Santi Here?

Creative Time Basilea Project, Art Basel 2018

Why would an architect focused on collective architecture and his studio Recetas Urbanas participate in Art Basel, the highest-selling international art fair?

Does applying his radical methodology in Switzerland, one of the world’s richest countries, make any sense?

What are the dynamics behind the contemporary art market, and furthermore, how does the market produce art?

Through testimonies and conversations this documentary addresses controversial topics exploring the status quo of the current contemporary art market and its relationship to society and culture.
