Betty Beier: Earth Lifting


Opening: Friday, June 3, 7.30pm
Exhibition dates: June 4 - September 23 2016

Climate change, urbanization processes, industrial use of space, the demand for raw materials and energy and the consumption of natural resources affect landscape, but also the lives of local people. Resettlement, expulsion, flight, destruction of forests and indigenous peoples are the consequences. Major projects such as dams and affect landscapes, which are also changed in an extreme way by climate change, will usually be outside our normal experience. Yet we have long impact on their progress, by our modern existence.

Betty Beier, visual artist and sculptor, is this dilemma a sign. For their study, "The clods archive" accompanied since the mid-90s landscape changing processes - in Germany, Iceland, China, Alaska and most recently in Brazil. In her research in times of change of soil is at the center. Betty Beier clods are track-locking footprints of floor surfaces on site, they then permanently fixed in acrylic or synthetic resin in the studio.
