Join artist Ilana Halperin and Hunterian Curator of Contemporary Art, Dr Dominic Paterson, to hear about the Minerals of New York exhibition. Halperin lives and works between Glasgow and the Isle of Bute and her practice often explores the relationship between geology and everyday life. Her latest project takes her back to New York, her childhood home, through a 'mineral biography of the city’, which takes shape across a range of media, including drawings, photographs and objects. At the project's heart is a piece of garnetiferous gneiss, excavated from beneath the street that Halperin grew up on - a point of connection between her biography, that of the modern city, and the deep geological time that shaped it.
