Description
The Arctic brings together a diverse range of artists responding to the vast and often intimidating landscape of the Arctic region. This catalogue features works by Caspar David Friedrich, Sigmar Polke, Sophie Calle, Mark Dion, Joachim Koester, and others, alongside essays from geologists, historians, archaeologists, and glaciologists. The publication considers the place of the Arctic in the history and culture of the West at a time when the region is taking on new significance as a threatened space. The book includes photographs from 19th-century expeditions, which provide valuable insights into the region's inhabitants and the impact of human activity on this fragile environment. Published to accompany a major exhibition at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art in Denmark, Arctic offers a unique perspective on the cultural and artistic responses to the Arctic region.
