Curated by Susanne Pfeffer, Pamela Rosenkranz’s exhibition for the 2015 Venice Biennale transmutes the Pavilion of Switzerland into a body of a local skin color through fluid, sound and movement. A pigment that originally emerged as the specific product of migration, sun-exposure, nutrition, and any number of other contingent factors is resynthesized as a stock formula, composed of unknown ingredients. You can see Pamela Rosenkranz 'Our Product' until November 22, 2015 at the Swiss Pavilion
