ICE BLINK - SIMON FAITHFULL
CURRENT EXHIBITION \| PAST EXHIBITIONS
ICE BLINK - SIMON FAITHFULL April 7 - May 8, 2006 The Ice Blink project is the result of Simon Faithfull's 'residency', in which he accompanied the British Antarctic Survey, a long established British government project that takes scientists to the extreme remoteness of an Antarctic research station. The term Ice Blink refers to a meteorological phenomenon where a white glare in the clouds warns of the presence of invisible ice at sea, and this choice of title parallels Faithfull's honed ability to identify and exploit the often bizarre particularities of the subjects he chooses. As such, the Antarctic proves a perfect subject for Simon Faithfull, from the sparsity of features placed on the blank white canvas of the ice floes, (lending themselves to the observational economy of palm-pilot drawings), to the inherent incongruity of man's presence in this inhospitable desert with its unreal, even absurd parameters of scale, time and space.
