Lenka Clayton and Phillip Andrew Lewis: Rock Fade (≈ 45 Billion Years), at John Michael Kohler Arts Center

"'The observer, when he seems to himself to be observing a stone, is really, if physics is to be believed, observing the effects of the stone upon himself.' — Bertrand Russell

Rock Fade (≈ 45 Billion Years) is a large-scale installation by Lenka Clayton and Phillip Andrew Lewis that invites viewers into an encounter with deep geological time, human perception, and the impulse to order the natural world. The work consists of a carefully selected sequence of stones — arranged in a perfect line — gradually diminishing in size from a massive boulder to a single grain of sand."

On September 19th, they are having a procession to carry the rocks from one museum to another + making a short film.
