Lauren Gault and Desiree Coral in conversation at St Andrews Botanic Gardens

Join us at St Andrew’s Botanical Gardens where artists Lauren Gault and Désirée Coral will be in conversation with  Anne Daffertshofer, the St Andrews Botanical Gardens Art and Cultural Programmes Curator, to celebrate the opening of Lauren Gault’s major new solo exhibition at DCA, bone stone voice alone. 

Book your tickets via Eventbrite here.

Gault’s new body of work explores the relationships between agriculture, mineral cycles, and expanded interpretations of the Echo myth within the context of land relations. Her research-driven, process-oriented practice considers the political, ethical, and emotional implications of our evolving interactions with matter. It broadens discussions surrounding land usage, voice, and fluid materials.

Désirée Coral offers a complementary perspective through her research into early global exchanges between the Americas and other parts of the world. She employs a decolonial lens to examine the relationships among humans, different species, and the environment, highlighting the hierarchies in our food systems, landscapes, and practices.

Together, the artists will discuss intersecting themes regarding land use, extractive practices and their implications, and the importance of sensitivity to place and time.
