Description
Additional Info.

This Science Gallery Berlin exhibition engages the visitors in a multisensory experience using sight, listening and touch, by artist in residence, Niamh Schmidtke.

How can we further our understanding of minerals beyond their existence simply as objects of research and technology? Artist in residence, Niamh Schmidtke, dived deep into interdisciplinary dialogues trying to pull blood from rocks and stones and exploring novel perspectives on their existence. This Science Gallery exhibition engages the visitors in a multisensory experience using sight, listening and touch.

The art-science multimedia installation features an audio-play to be heard inside a fabric cocoon next to films and voice notes on the exploitation of minerals and climate guilt. The works are inspired by Niamh’s research with geologist and custodian of the Mineral Collections at TU Berlin, Dr. Johannes Giebel.

This exhibition is the third edition of the art and environmental sciences research residency program EARTH WATER SKY curated by Ariane Koek, funded by the Fondation Didier et Martine Primat, and produced by members of the Science Gallery Network.
