Silverlens returns for the 2026 edition of Art Basel in Basel with works by four intergenerational Southeast Asian artists, presented across the main fair and Parcours sector: Pacita Abad, Nicole Coson, Geraldine Javier, and Yee I-Lann. For each artist, materials exceed themselves: a tablecloth becomes a painting, a shipping container becomes a printing tool, 267 paintings hide inside a volcano's silhouette, a woven mat becomes a counter to the colonial table. A five-minute walk from the fair, Nicole Coson presents a suspended installation of aluminum-cast oyster shells as part of the Parcours sector for public art.

The Coconut Tree Methodology is both reflection and proposition: to sense the world and grasp the changes that are shaping it right now.

Tracing parallel investigations into image, structure, gesture, and spatial perception, this iteration brings together a focused selection of works from Southeast Asian contemporary practice articulated across the past three decades.
