Commissioned by Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary for the exhibition RARE EARTH, curated by Boris Ondreicka and Nadim Samman, February 19 - May 31 2015

"Suzanne Treister's Rare Earth mandala is a cosmological diagram tracing the scientific history and industrial, medical and military applications of Rare Earth - as well as the cultural/philosophical impact of these applications. An epic mapping of how Rare Earth elements underpin our contemporary world, the diagram is both pedagogical and visionary. History as a black hole." TBA21
