Excavation: Macro to the Micro
Virtual Exhibition Design at VORTIC ART

London / UK 2024

Client: Vortic Art

Team: Karsten Huneck, Bernd Truempler, Alice D’Andrea

“This exhibition is an excavation of overarching themes, the complexity of artistic
practice and the interweaving and colliding of the past and present. It introduces
different viewpoints of scale, culture, life, and art experiences”. Deborah Smith, Curator

Excavation: Macro to the Micro is a journey of exploration and discovery, from the broad
and expansive to the detailed and intricate. The exhibition presents 22 artists, in five
sections, with the starting point being large scale paintings – the macro – by Jenny Saville,
Tim Stoner, Nigel Cooke, Alvaro Barrington and Pam Evelyn.
Nuanced layers of information or concepts within each of the paintings inspired the work –
the micro – of the following artists on view: HelenA Pritchard, Oliver Beer, Renee So,
Louise Giovanelli, Nicola Ellis, Leo Fitzmaurice, Anne Tallentire, Nnena Kalu, George
Shaw, Isabelle Young, Alice Channer, James Collins, Tanoa Sasraku, Emii Alrai, Dawn Ng,                Matt Bryans and Nina Chua.
