Wadden Art Talks 2023: FIRST THERE IS A MOUNTAIN
MONDAY THE 18TH OF SEPTEMBER Rikke Luther and I will ask each other some questions about the relationship between life, sediment and sediment transport. We will talk about large scale processes such as mountain formation and zoom into the molecular scale discussing how traces of life are shuttled around in our environments on mineral surfaces.
ADVERTISED TEXT: Once, there was no life. Then there was life. Did life arise on Earth due to meteors or underwater amidst sand and mud? We still don't know, and it's a mystery that captivates artists and scientists alike. Join visual artist Rikke Luther and geochemist Karina Krarup Sand from the University of Copenhagen in a conversation about whether life originated on a grain of sand.
LOCATION: Blåvandshuk Beach in front of the artwork 'The Sand Bank' by Rikke Luther. From 15-16.

SUNDAY SITE VISIT
Rikke´s posters on sand as a resource showcase the political and biological influence of sand mining. The three posters and their message stand strong on the west coast. Go visit if you can. I suspect the posters, the coast, and the general area will make your trip worth while.
MONDAY FORECAST SMELLED LIKE A RESCHEDULE
Both Rikke and I had been looking forward to chat in this setting so sad we were when the organizers weather chose to postpone the event :(
Stay tuned for new time.
