Bar

Lotte Lara Schröder graduated in Graphic Design from the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam, and studied at Werkplaats Typografie in Arnhem. She uses her graphic design skills to initiate projects in her artistic practice, resulting in sound installations, performances, and drawings.

Schröder conducts research on ecological and natural phenomena such as volcanic energy and geomorphology. She aims to emphasise the more personal and poetic aspects of these predominantly scientific topics. This project explores the social relevance of deep time, a concept developed by the Scottish geologist James Hutten to define the Earth’s geological time, which is more than 4.5-billion-years old.

The project Bar presents the viewer with an alternative notion of time. Derived from the concept of a tiki bar, the collection of objects and their arrangement intend to offer a more fluid understanding of artefacts and their relationship to art.
