Polar Descriptions: Amy Balkin and Adriane Colburn

Polar Descriptions: Amy Balkin and Adriane Colburn Sunday, November 23rd, 6 pm at the Studio for Urban Projects 3579 17th St., San Francisco (located between Dolores & Guerrero) Amy Balkin / Adriane Colburn Please join us for a presentation from Bay Area artists and social system geographers Amy Balkin and Adriane Colburn, who have recently visited the Arctic sea and ice. The frozen expanses of the North have historically been a location of fantasy, exploration, and now, global dread. First hand accounts of this distant landscape have traditionally informed out greater understanding of the environment, mapping, and trade. In this informal talk Amy and Adriane will show images and describe their own rarified journeys, as well as the history of artists/explorers who have visited this mythic location of the earth. Also included in this presentation will be the premiere of an arctic-sublime-cocktail-float “The Sea at Night” Space is limited. Please RSVP to mephilross@yahoo.com
