Spots

This publication documents the solo exhibition «Spots» by Franziska Baumgartner. As a last intervention before the reconstruction, she covered the walls of the exhibition space Klingental, Basel with rice paper. The starchy material combined with the wall paint and began to dissolve during the drying process. At one point the spots burst open, bulging and bending, elsewhere the paint together with the rice paper flaked off in large shreds and fell to the floor, revealing traces of paint, wall drawings and drill holes from earlier exhibitions – allowing an insight into the eventful history of the room.
