Galerie S:t Petri is presenting a flash exhibition for one week — a study of the shore and forest around Lake Ringsjön by Paul-Armand Gette, including plaster casts, landscape photography, a geophysical map, etc. This exhibition offers scientific value for the public while also raising questions for today's visual artists. Paul-Armand Gette's idea is simply to examine a specific area of shoreline at a specific time, record temperature, humidity, flora, fauna, take photographs, and log data graphically. Later, the same area is studied again in the same way to show the changes over time. Gette has carried out similar studies at Ringsjön as well as along the banks of the Seine in Paris. Starting August 25, a complementary exhibition will be shown in the natural sciences section of the Malmö Museum. The journey then continues to London, where the ICA (Institute of Contemporary Art) has invited him to carry out a study of the Thames riverbanks.
