Thomas Bangalter

Warehouse Artefacts is an upcoming immersive experience by @ThomasBangalter , @Julian.Charri ère and @rampa_keinemusik , staged around an affirmation of hope struggling to be heard and a pulse that can still bring people together. At the heart of the installation is the historical recording of The Universal Declaration of Human Rights from 1948, placed in dialogue with the foundational principles of underground dance music. Set on a vast and shifting deconstructed dancefloor, Warehouse Artefacts invokes these radical pasts to meet an uncertain future—reflecting on how meaning and community are produced during moments of crisis. Presented by @art.klub.basel Warehouse Artefacts is on view in Hall 1.1 for all Art Basel ticket holders between 11:00-17:00 on the 20th of June, 2026. For more information and tickets to the evening program (18:00-23:00) featuring a DJ set by Rampa + Special Guest, please visit ARTKLUB.CH Warehouse Artefacts is produced by @NordsternBasel , and presented in cooperation with @ArtBasel and @FondationBeyeler and @Teile.life

A vast and atmospheric piece of electronic minimalism, ‘Mirage’ encompasses the changing states of the eponymous ballet – a ritual for 16 dancers conceived by choreographer Damien Jalet and contemporary artist Kōhei Nawa. Delivering a statement that feels both radical and accessible, attuned to the elements, Thomas Bangalter takes a sculptural approach to sound and music in the lineage of Iannis Xenakis. The cofounder of Daft Punk continues to carve a personal path grounded by experimentation as a mode of performance and the pleasure of collaboration. Out on 5th June, pre-order now (link in bio). — Ample pièce électronique minimaliste et climatique, Mirage embrasse les états changeants du ballet éponyme, rituel pour 16 danseurs imaginé par le chorégraphe Damien Jalet et l’artiste contemporain Kōhei Nawa. Dans un geste à la fois radical et accueillant, Thomas Bangalter travaille une approche plasticienne du son et de la musique héritée de Iannis Xenakis, en prise avec les éléments. Le cofondateur de Daft Punk continue ainsi de creuser un sillon personnel où l’expérimentation est un mode de jeu et le plaisir de la collaboration, une boussole. Parution le 5 juin, pre-commander dès maintenant (lien en bio).
