Antarctica Silence (Polar South): [Video portraits, photographs and drawn artefacts from an artist's residency in Antarctica]

Marty St James (Other)

Research output: Non-textual formExhibition

Abstract

Marty has been invited by the Cultural Projects for National Antarctic Affairs Argentine Chancellery to make and record a giant, complex, non-toxic print image in the snow and ice, all based on a photographic memory.
The project, which is inspired by Marty’s recent video art work Upside down world, proposes to locate the creative process in a place of flux and movement as a visual memory translated into marks in space and time. In the same way as memory is fleeting, the work aims by its construct to be a metaphor in time and space.
Artists residency February/March 2011 on Marambio and Esperanza Antarctica bases.
