MCA Fine Art: The Anatomy of Residue

Field notes

The exhibition is organized around Elias Thorne’s large-scale glass-cast series and connects the work to a four-year residency in the derelict foundry districts of the Ruhr Valley. The page records specific material combinations, including cast lead glass, foundry soot, hand-forged steel, and cold-pressed bronze with controlled oxidation. It also distinguishes an edition of 3 plus 1 artist’s proof from a unique work, while an artist index adds biographical context for Thorne and Mika Nakagawa.
