In ‘Through Bone and Marrow’ nearly 20 (international) artists present new, alternative connections between mankind, nature and technology. They go beyond existing contradictions between organic and inorganic, plant and animal, living and dead. This is led by a new aesthetic that offers space for discomfort, imperfection and the beauty of decay. ‘Through Bone and Marrow’ is a subtle wake-up call. We threaten to destroy the planet, but we may lose ourselves, our humanity, well before then. Curator Maarten Spruyt: “Art can put the finger on the sore spot, and give an insight.” Picture: Diana PutavetLocation: Brutus RotterdamDates: April 2 till
