"Public Art Project" at ART Basel (http://www.art.ch/). The last two images show a public toilet in the middle of the square, with walls made of that semi-transparent mirrors you see in the police movies: you see inside-out, but not vice versa. You have full privacy as well as a 360 degree overview of the Messeplatz and its crowds. Unique public pissing experience.

Hello.I'm from Shanghai,China.I'm writing about special materials of public arts for a magazine Art World.It's a famous and the best magazine of contemporary art in China.
when I was looking for the informations online,I saw your photos of the toilet and that red and green public art work.I think they will be very important and useful for the article.
So,can you send me the photos with 300dpi(the wide side should be 25cm)? Thank you very much!I really need them and really appreciate that if you can do me the favour!!

Sorry, I took those pictures above with my camera phone, don't have them in any other quality.
I guess you'd better go ask the people at http://art.ch/!

Good luck,
Hannes
