Résumé
The information generated in the project National Inventory of Historic Quarries associated with the Architectural Heritage of Extremadura, developed by Instituto Geologico y Minero de España (Spanish Geological Survey), constitutes the documentary base of the artistic work Guia de mano (petrográfica) presented at the Vostell Malpartida Museum, Caceres, within the exhibition project Caceres Abierto, 2019. It reflects the enormous scientific potential, not only of these types of projects, but also as Earth Sciences disseminator, as well aesthetic nature of the rocks and materials that have made historical heritage possible. As an example, the Vostell Malpartida Museum, located in Los Barruecos (Caceres), was an old wool laun- dry, granite rocks from its surroundings were used for its construction, so that the building sits on the quarry itself, identifying natural areas in front of cuts rocks for architectural use, as a metaphor for artificial nature, stone extraction and dislocation.
