Friday 27 January, 2pm
Featuring: Ilana Halperin
Online, via Zoom
Ilana Halperin's work explores the relationship between geology and daily life. She combines fieldwork in diverse locations – on volcanoes in Hawaii, caves in France, geothermal springs in Japan, and in museums, archives and laboratories, with an active studio-based practice. Hear from Ilana on her practice and some of the projects she thinks are worth diving into with you.
This is an ideal session for those interested in Geology; in an expanded view of fieldwork and its relationship and translation to a studio practice; collaboration with scientists, the landscape and others; the relationship between daily life and the geology that surrounds us.
