Licking Structures

The Art & Science department presents “Licking Structures” an exhibition dealing with experimental approaches to our annual topic of crystallization. The focus of this exhibition is questioning the power structures of academic knowledge production in a playful and artistic way that aims to be accessible to a broader public. The title “Licking Structures.” refers to the practice of licking as both an experimental method in geology and archeology and as what children do to empirically explore the world around them. “Licking Structures” also represents the dissolution and erosion of (old) structures and dichotomies. With a sense of the relevance of diversity, the exhibition shows various works that capture both the concrete and abstract meanings of crystallization. These ideas will be presented in a transgressive manner, which breaks down the barriers that often stand in front of the artistic and scientific communities. Curated, arranged and promoted solely by the Art & Science students.
