uncharted

The Earth’s crust is a surface in tension, fractured, shifting, layered over eons.
It is the site of slow collisions and dissolutions, of magma solidifying into rock, of glaciers grinding minerals into dust. At the interface between deep time and present moment, it records movements unfolding across scales both immense and minuscule, indifferent to lines drawn or names given by maps tracing the edges of the known world.  

uncharted explores these liminal spaces – frontiers not as fixed boundaries, but as zones of transition – unstable, dynamic, elusive. They unsettle the notion of fixed separations between topographic elements, revealing instead fringes of contact in constant movement, overlapping layers of time and matter shaped by transformation often imperceptible to the eye.

Through the works of twelve artists, the exhibition engages with the materiality of the Earth’s surface and the complexity of its transformations. In an era where human activity leaves its mark into geological stratification, what still escapes our instruments, our language, our vision? What remains unseen, uncharted?

Rather than one fixed narrative, a mosaic of perspectives emerges, each tracing a different line through what resists fixation. A geology of uncertainty. A reading of the surface, through shifting contours.
