From a physical point of view, stone is the oldest and most persistent material and support of information in the history of humanity. This volume of collected essays, theoretical articles, case-studies, artistic texts and artwork portfolios aims to open a field of thought in which stone is not questioned as a materia prima of artistic work, but rather as a carrier of information. Stone explores stone as more than a material, presenting it as a carrier of meaning and information across cultures and historical periods. It examines how contemporary artists decode, interpret, and creatively engage with stone, blending artistic practice, cultural studies, and experimental approaches. Highlighting the intersections between art and anthropology, contributions consider how human interaction with natural materials has evolved over time. It investigates the dynamic, almost living presence of stone in art, illuminating the rich interpretive potential of natural materials and the ways our current era reimagines and engages with them.
