The question concerns and invests the contemporary world starting with the journalist, science, schooling, history, and the different tensions we are subjected to today.
I am very happy to receive these critiques because it means to have fulfilled my own expectations and to have done a very good job on being able to create a need to discuss how art, science and culture should interconnect and what the contemporary role of dialogue and change is, and what it means today to be an artist, a scientist, a journalist, a person and how to have to return the concept of art and/or document.

I am sorry that this review comes only at the close of the exhibition because I would have been happy to hold a tour with you so that together we could address questions and contents.
The exhibition is also thought of in a broader context of discussions, dialogues, and events and workshops with which the display connected and explained itself and interacted and with a series of guided tours in which to navigate the space together.

The display is a display based on “poor” materials, plain unframed paper, metal as produced by a technical system without painting and connected to the various layers of the building as a stratigrafy.
The photos put in the display represent a selection from an archive created in the making and with scientists as they researched for years with gestures similar to those of contemporary artists themselves and with that same primary obsession to arrive at a knowledge and research and in this specific case evidence of how to define a new geological era that leaves real traces in rock.
Together we analyzed images that a scientist would not normally publish or would not have published in a scientific paper, to see the process, the operational images the drawings, the graphs, the excel sheets that someday as well as once Humbold’s maps might become traces of technical processes that turn from technique into art.
” they can live for INSERT years,” we speak of years, of time, of vertical time, of comments that go beyond a technical commentary, to reveal that there is a behind, a life, a human projection beyond needs and a technique.
Questions are created. The photos are arranged in an ascending order of cores geology extraction and the transparent sheets constitute a second level of commentary, something that reveals a second reading that can’ change, that can lead to new interpretations, new reflections, a new language.
Comment I are not only technical but show the human work and interconnected processes between sign, function, and travelogue.

Geology, time, and the earth have several layers and they are not all accessible though wonderful,
Sometimes one has to accept the possibility of questioning oneself.
To move both emotionally and imaginatively and in space in order to eventually access an intimate space in which to store input and create one’s own narrative articulations.

The columns, the unreachable show what is going on in life, seeking means going beyond the provo level of readability, it means accepting the struggle to get out of one’s comfort zone to enter to be an active part of a social context in which a small subtle gesture marks the possibility of a big change: an opportunity.

The ‘lost promised futures of plenty’ are a poignant, sad, and very real expression of political frustration, which Rhea interprets through Vaporwave message boards NOT critical theory! That is rare, and welcome.

Rhea’s acknowledgement of the importance of having had some productive connection to art history before critically evaluating NFTs makes my conservative, traditional heart glad, through and through.

thank you very much for such a well-written and engaging article about CRUSH!
As co-organisers of the exhibition, we would also appreciate if you had the possibility to add our name “Finnland-Institut” in the running text or under the exhibition info. We would also be grateful if you could add a link to our homepage.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Kind regards
