Particle Zoo

3 May - 2 June 2024

With Particle Zoo Sandra Beccarelli blurs the lines between exhibition and artist residency by showing a

finished body of work alongside work in progress, with visitors playing an active role in determining the

direction of the latter.

“MOMENTUM is generally used to mean increasing forward motion. A boulder rolling down a hill gains momentum. So does a great idea, a team on a winning streak, or the economy.”

The exhibition MOMENTUM was about the constant change and evolution, both in life and within the artistic realm. The title itself reflects the speed at which our world transforms, and how artists are continuously propelled forward by this dynamic force. By exploring the physical processes involved in creating artwork, we aim to highlight the inherent momentum required to bring ideas to life. The exhibition drew parallels between the transience of life and nature, which also embody the essence of momentum.

The exhibition featured the works of eleven diverse artists, each employing unique approaches some of which utilising natural or recycled resources to create their art.
