Hand Held Lava

Ilana Halperin's work engages with geological phenomena and the generation of new landmass. In Hand Held Lava the artist embraces our fascination with volcanoes, their generation and the relationship between geological phenomena and daily life.

The Ernst Schering Foundation was founded in 2002 as an independent non-profit foundation promoting science, culture and projects at the interface of art and science. It facilitates the exchange of methods and modes of operation, as well as a more fundamental dialogue between artists and scientists about socially relevant topics. The foundation encourages interdisciplinary discourses by hosting exhibitions, talks and workshops in its project room.
