Stone Tools
The oldest examples of human technology ‘Stone Tools’ will be some of the longest-lasting anthropic artefacts. With this starting point the artworks included in this exhibition interrogate modern materials and their inherent instability. Now favouring steel over stone, the ability of materials to resist entropy has reduced and with that their ability to become artefacts. Materials within this exhibition have been selected because of their stability be that mechanical or chemical resistance and those properties have been exploited. This exhibition contrasts modern technologies and materials with ancient ones to interrogate which narratives will remain when we’ve gone.
