In what will be his largest show to date, Raphael Hefti (*1978), known for his experimental methods, will present several new, immersive, site-specific bodies of work. The Swiss artist’s multi-ton, extreme-aged, and high voltage answers to the conventions of painting and sculpture celebrate the potential of material volatility and even failure, across the five downstairs spaces of Kunsthalle Basel.
