The Archive of Dust
Accompanied by a new text by Francesca Zappia.
An exhibition of new work stemming from a project the artist began in 2001, involving the ongoing collecting of dust from museums and galleries around the world from which the artist cultures bacteria. The studious longevity of the artists accumulation of dust over nearly 25 years now contains samples from hundreds of institutions. For this new exhibition, the artist has focussed on dust collected in Room 18 at the British Museum, the current resting place of The Parthenon Marbles, alongside other new work.
