You are invited to the public exhibition opening of freeze/thaw by Corrie Francis Parks, an associate professor of visual arts at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, and a 2022–23 Fulbright-Q21/MuseumsQuartier Artist in Residence. freeze/thaw is inspired by rock glaciers, an essential and largely unknown part of alpine environments. Made from sediment collected from Austrian rock glaciers and water from the Donaukanal, miniature rock glaciers come alive in the Asifakeil. Despite their fragility, these geological forms find an uneasy equilibrium in the urban environment, offering viewers a moment to pause and sync their breath with the natural alpine cycles as an antidote to climate anxiety.

No registration is required for this free event. You can also view Q21's event page for more information about the exhibition and for the full list of exhibition dates.
