I saw this exhibition the other day. It was quite a soothing experience, with some beautiful film and 'quiet' artworks. I think it's the sort of exhibition where often you see ideas for art beginning to unfurl ... For example, one of the exhibitors collects soil samples to make rough coloured marks on paper ... but only that, I believe. I think there are a number of artists who use soil/mineral samples in their location-based work, and for me, they are creating some really visually appealing pieces. In addition, quite a lot of the scientific info I'd already come across as I'm a keen gardener and I read about gardening, re-wilding and the like. That said, it is mind-blowing science.
