Mounting Mountains

Mounting Mountains

Gemmenicherweg 36
Vaals
Mounting Mountains raises a question that hardly anyone asks: what happens to four million cubic metres of rock when three ten-kilometre tunnels are excavated for the Einstein Telescope?

Will this material from the Euregio be processed into raw materials for concrete, or could it become something entirely new? Perhaps a mountain to be proud of, rather than waste that needs to be removed?

On 3 December, the Institute of Cartopology will kick off this exploration with a lecture and discussion at Berghut Halverwege, in collaboration with Bureau Europa, IKOB and Zuyd Hogeschool.

Artists, architects, philosophers and local residents are warmly invited. If you believe that this landscape and the ground beneath it belong to everyone, you're welcome to join the conversation and share your ideas.

Read the manifesto in Dutch or German on the website (see link) and come along on 3 December!
