Scientific and posthumanist perspectives increasingly describe soil as a self-organising living system: a dynamic, symbiotic process rather than an inert resource. Soil embodies both life-generating growth and the vital cycles of decay and decomposition. Because of its opacity and non-human temporalities, soil invites speculations, myths, and narratives alongside scientific knowledge. Bringing together contemporary artistic practices,\u00a0<b>Membrane\u00a0<\/b>reveals soil as a multispecies archive and living memory, staging renewed earthly relations beyond anthropocentrism.<\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\"><b>Curator:\u00a0<\/b>Thomas Pausz (FR \/ IS<b>)<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"x_MsoNormal\">Please note that on Sunday 7th June the curator will have a guided tour through the exhibition at 2 PM, read more about that here.\u00a0Linda Bo\u013c\u0161akova will do a performance after the guided tour at 3 PM, read about the performance here.<\/p>\n<p>This exhibition is part of the Reykjav\u00edk Arts Festival programme.<\/p>\n<p>Read more about the<a href=\"https:\/\/nordichouse.is\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Accessibility-guide-_-Nordic-house.pdf\">\u00a0accessibility here.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welcome\u00a0to the opening of the exhibition\u00a0MEMBRANE:\u00a0Myths &amp; Fictions of Soil, Saturday 6th June at 3 PM.
