EXTRA TERRA

opening night: 14th of November 2025, 17:00
Exhibition: 15 November to 7 December 2025

Welcome to Extra Terra, an exercise in worldbuilding: the imagining and shaping of a cohesive fictional universe.

The exhibition begins with a series of large-format drawings, printed on aluminium, in which a cosmos emerges that is at once mysterious, menacing, and untamed, encompassing spacecraft, planets, vertical cities, and nuclear reactors.

For the design process, collaboration took place with a self-trained offline AI, employed as a tool to generate ideas and explore connections within that world. All exhibited artworks, however, are made by hand: drawn, modelled, and finished in clay and pigment.

Throughout the exhibition run, the world continues to grow. The sculptures are created on-site: modelled by hand and evolving progressively, so that the universe visibly changes and expands.

You are warmly welcome at the private view on Thursday 14 November from 17:00. And please pop in on the days thereafter, when the modelling process truly gains momentum and new sculptures take shape. Feel free to visit, to observe the work up close, or to ask questions about the emergence of this world.
