FIELD RECORDINGS OF ICEBERGS MELTING
Artist Michael Campbell’s multi-media exhibition “…brings into play its place in the cultural imagination of a frontier zone of extreme conditions, and its history during the period of European expansion from the 16th to the 20th centuries. The allusion conjures the stream of survey ships that sought the north-west Passage of the North Pole, strove to classify species and peoples, and to map the New World. It further speaks to present day resource extraction and climate change monitoring, the forays of animal rights activists and increasingly, military survey flights asserting territorial claims. …Its steam punk ethos with its fusion of Victorian Era and future technologies sets an undercurrent of planetary emergency in motion…” – Jan Allen
