James Darling and Lesley Forwood’s installation, Living Rocks: A Fragment of the Universe, is NOW SHOWING as an Official Collateral Event at La Biennale di Venezia, presented by the Art Gallery of South Australia, curated by Dr Lisa Slade.
Living Rocks: A Fragment of the Universe is grounded in the artists’ minimalist tradition; simple, strong, and with a magnetic power to engage the viewer. But ‘Living Rocks’ is a bold departure and a fundamentally ambitious project, achieved in collaboration with Jumpgate VR, Paul Stanhope, and the Australian String Quartet. Significant in both its investigation and presentation, the installation is an inspiring and immersive experience that connects the present day to the beginning of life on earth.
'Living Rocks' addresses the question: what was our planet three billion years ago?
