We present to you: soil. Soil is neither invisible nor quiet, as it might erroneously seem, and the plants and animals connected with it are excellent narrators of what’s going on in the depths hidden from human eyes.
Through the invited artists’ varied approaches to issues involving soil, the exhibition studies the intertwined presence and histories of inorganic particles and soil organisms and the plants and animals connected with them, including humans.
Soil has a complex form: it is a material, a source of both life and property, and is capable of influencing global warming – so it’s no surprise that the art world has given its regeneration so much attention. Let’s imagine soil!
