In June 2017 Risa Horowitz attended the Summer Solstice Arctic Circle Art + Science expedition. She and 29 artists and scientists joined their guides and crew of the tall ship Antigua. They sailed around the west coast of Svalbard, north of Norway, within the Arctic Circle, landing each day within one fjord after another. They moored to an ice floe that floated them around overnight. They scurried up and down snowy moraines, across rocky beaches, and very carefully through fields of Artic fauna. They grappled with their complicity within the Anthropocene. And they gave gentle leave to one another and themselves throughout such a life-changing experience. This exhibition addresses these experiences through photo based works and installation.
