LARA ALMARCEGUI
Gypsum
23 March – 4 September 2016
Curator: Kevin Muhlen
Starting from the plaster used in building the Casino Luxembourg exhibition spaces, the Spanish artist Lara Almarcegui probes the geologic strata beneath them in search of the plaster's raw mineral counterpart - gypsum - for potential exploitation. At the same time, she explores the materiality of the architectural envelope that covers and houses the gypsum. A play of relationships emerges between the powdery presence and the subterranean mineral property, between the building's architecture and its physical reality, but also between the building and its urban context.
