Geology · Painting · Public engagement

From science to a walk-through art space.

Rock samples, microscopic images and paintings reveal different ways of seeing the same material. Maps, photographs, thin sections and films make the artistic process traceable.

A format shaped around the venue

The project was developed as a travelling exhibition. Existing works, films and press materials can be brought together for museums, galleries, educational institutions and regional cultural projects. A regional development of the project can be discussed individually.
