Unstable Categories: ‘A Conversation about Rocks’
Thursday 21st June, 5:30 pm
Join the artist Emma McKeagney in a conversation with geologist David Chew about the rocks which inhabit the exhibition and their journey to being there. Geological processes are at work constantly and how we harness and use them to make art work is a fascination of the artist. They will discuss these processes and how we as humans effect and use them.
This is a Free event. All welcome, no booking required
