Ostend Projects · Brussels / Mexico City · est. 2021 · Statements 07 · Hall 2.0 · Booth U21
What the room actually noticed.
First Basel. Solo booth. One artist. The wall text moved someone — make us know who and what for.
Booth U21 at 13:55 Thursday — a single visitor standing for thirteen seconds in front of the central work, no badge, no business card, no inquiry filed.

Booth attention becomes a follow-up map.

The white space
"A Statements booth has one shot at the institutional acquisition. The 95% who walk by anonymously are exactly the people who decide whether this artist gets a Tamayo show in 18 months. Without this dashboard, that signal disappears with the visitor."
Existing stack at most galleries: Artlogic · Arternal · ArtBinder · manual spreadsheets. Each of those tools sees the named inquiry, the email open, the invoice. None of them see which work moved a stranger.

k-anonymity floor: counts below 10 distinct visitors render as "below floor" rather than the raw number. Modeled resonance remains labeled until live ingest clears the floor.

The booth's only large-scale work is producing institutional-tier pause time (12.4s). Statements selection is doing its job — now the inquiry channel needs to keep up.

LATAM institutional track
Artist interest owner queue
Requests from artist worlds become triage, not inbox fog.
0 receipt-backed
This queue reads `artist_world_interest` intent receipts from the artist pages. It keeps private story saves anonymous, and only exposes contact when a visitor explicitly consents to gallery follow-up.
No live owner-queue receipts yet
Once visitors use the artist-world actions, matching gallery-note and studio/private-viewing requests appear here. The seeded queue below remains the demo fallback for anonymous booth resonance.

Methodology
Aggregate counts: k≥50 floor (Statements booths often run below this floor early in the week; flagged as 'below k' until the floor is met). Consented follow-up queue: k≥10 floor and visitor opt-in only. Pause measured at ≥4s in front of the work. Re-approach measured at return within 30 minutes. No PII captured or rendered.
