The weight of a stone
With a focus on materiality, the show initiates an exploration around different states of earth 鈥� the stoicism of cement, the richness of clay, the sturdiness of metal, the infinite darkness of the mine, the pigmentation of soil, the fragility of glass. 鈥楾he medium is the message鈥�, writes communication theorist Marshall McLuhan. What does it mean to give attention to the stuff of this world, and to allow the material to sit at the forefront of an encounter?
These earthen materials crack, crumble, bend, and reflect, and in some cases, conduct and transform, opening this inquiry into a space of potential and communication between states. The exhibition becomes an invitation to consider not only the tangible, material weight of the 鈥榮tone鈥�, but also the gravity of the situation.
