‘What truth could be more unexpected ….than the one in which the mineral envisions while also being envisioned.’ – Jason Groves, The Geological Unconscious
A group exhibition, co-curated by Julie F Hill and Susan Eyre, exploring themes of stone consciousness and human-mineral encounters, destabilising assumptions about passive matter and a stable Earth.
Responding to Jason Groves’ inquiry into the mineral imaginary in his eponymous book, as well as the ‘Writing of Stones’ as proposed by writer and mineral collector Roger Caillois, the exhibition exposes the complex entanglements between the organic and the inorganic; the human and the lithic. The Geological Unconscious is viewed through disruptive Surrealist strategies, engagements with the aesthetics of geo-materiality and material processes that attend to the growth and transformation of matter. These artistic ‘excavations’ highlight the toll of extractive industries on our planet, whilst inspiring reverence for the geological lineages of deep, cosmic time. Theories of Animism and Panpsychism are also brought to bear on ways of attributing agency to inorganic realms.
