Finissage: Crystalline Memories of Deep Time

Artist Claus Spangsberg creates fascinating images at the intersection of art and science. Meet him in the exhibition on its very last day.

Claus Spangsberg specializes in microscopy and crystallization, creating images using chemical substances, DNA, and amino acids. In the exhibition Crystalline Memories of Deep Time, he explores some of the oldest materials known to us and presents various meteorites and components from the biochemical processes of the primordial soup. Materials such as crystallized sulfur, amino acids, and enzymes are presented as large-scale microscopic images or displayed in specially constructed screens with polarizing filters, allowing beautiful colors and patterns to emerge from the materials’ structures.

Meet Claus on the final day of the exhibition, when you will have the opportunity to ask questions about the works, be guided through the exhibition, and hear more about his artistic process.
