APRIL 2–JUNE 9, 2024

In 2015, artist Helen Glazer traveled to Antarctica as a grantee of the National Science Foundation’s Antarctic Artists and Writers Program, in order to photograph ice and geological formations for eventual production as photographic prints and sculpture. She worked out of remote Antarctic scientific field camps and had access to protected areas that can only be entered with government permits or in the company of a skilled mountaineer.

Inspired and informed by her experiences, Walking in Antarctica is an immersive, interdisciplinary exhibition bringing together photography, sculpture, and audio narrative to take the viewer on a journey through an extraordinary environment of remote places that the tourist ships do not reach and few people get to witness in person.

This exhibition is supported by The Elliot Family Foundation, Daywood Foundation, Herscher Foundation, Inc., Charles & Mary Fayne Glotfelty Foundation, and Bernard H. & Blanche E. Jacobson Foundation.
