Arctic Perspective :: until September 30, 2010 @ Canada House, Trafalgar Square, London + :: until October 10, 2010 @ HMKV, Phoenix Halle, Dortmund, Germany (Open Space Conference, September 24-26, 2010).
Simultaneous exhibitions of photographs, videos, maps and architectural models from work by the Arctic Perspective Initiative are displayed in London and Dortmund this summer. The outcome of an international collaborative project which aims to empower local citizens of the North via open and free media, communications and environmental monitoring technologies, the work highlights the urgency of the issues emerging in the Arctic: its changing cultural landscape; the potential for new intercultural dialogue; conflicting economic and territorial interests; ecological problems; climate change and the effects of ecological changes on the life of Inuit peoples.
The Arctic Perspective Initiative is an international group of artists, designers and media workers, led by artists Marko Peljhan and Matthew Biederman with collaborators Nejc Trost, Samo Stopar, Andrej Bizjak and August Black together with Miha Bratina and Ziga Testen. Partners include HMKV (Germany), Projekt Atol (Slovenia), C-TASC (Canada), Lorna (Iceland) and The Arts Catalyst (UK).
