• Ur tid, a temporal exhibition by the art collective Cluster 8
  11 juni at 12-16
  Process in deep-time. The earth's sediments embrace. We collect, exploit, and weather. How is the past stored? In active investigations of fiction, reality, art, and science, Cluster 8 opens a conversation on how we approach and interact with natural history collections. The Swedish title UR TID is a play on words using the multiple meanings of the prefix ur, which evokes both an ancient indeterminate past, but also a time that is out of joint. Both point to the natural museum's purpose; it shows artifacts beyond the human horizon of experience, and as a site, it tries to preserve objects in an atemporal state against the ravages of time.
