The shared title of the exhibitions, No vestige of a beginning – No prospect of an end, comes from a well-known quote by Scottish physician and geologist James Hutton (1726-1797). In his text Theory of the Earth (1785), Hutton described the fundamental processes of the Earth’s crust and the formation and transfiguration of rocks – the basis of modern geology. The poetic and temporally open formula of the quote is enticing and inspiring to Andersson, but also mirrors his fascination with the perspectives on time and spatiality that so often distinguish his work. The two exhibitions are separate chapters of the same story. No vestige of a beginning, Hallands Konstmuseum, June 15 – November 10, 2024 and No prospect of an end, Borås Konstmuseum, November 23, 2024 – March 20, 2025. Christian Andersson (b. 1973) lives and works in Paris, France and Coimbra, Portugal.
