Glacial Narratives: Cracks in the Ice

Glacial Narratives: Cracks in the Ice is an innovative and experimental multi-artform exhibition about ice from four artists who have spent considerable time in Arctic environments, and have developed a complementary series of artworks inspired by their experiences.We trust that these works will not only raise awareness of the wonder of ice as a material, but will also ask questions about its disappearance.

We are:

Adam Sebire (https://www.adamsebire.info) – film-maker and video artist

Elizabeth Bourne (https://www.philotera.com/about/) – painter and photographer

Martin Disley (https://martindisley.co.uk) – sound artist, researcher and developer

Mary Walters (https://www.mary-walters.com) – print-maker,  multi media artist and producer of the exhibition

We are pleased  to add both Mettje Hunneman (https://www.mettjehunneman.co.uk), video projection mapper,  and professor Peter Nienow (Edinburgh University School of GeoSciences) to the team for the run of the  exhibition for the Edinburgh Science Festival 2023

We also welcome Andra Black from Tinderbox Collective (https://tinderboxcollective.org/), who ran some outreach workshops during  the Edinburgh Science festival with local young people exploring sounds made by ice as it travels over the surface of the Earth.

The exhibition was installed in  Custom House, Leith, from 1 – 16 April 2023, having had an earlier incarnation for COP 26 at Taigh Chearsabhagh Trust’s gallery spaces in North Uist.

 

The past life of the exhibition can be seen here: https://www.taigh-chearsabhagh.org/events/glacial-narratives/

It has been funded by Creative Scotland’s Open Fund, and supported by Tinderbox Collective, University of Edinburgh Department of Geosciences,  Scottish Historic Buildings Trust and the University of Svalbard in Norway.

some audience feedback:

“Beyond expectation”s

“Beautiful, powerful and thought provoking”

“Mesmerising and terrifying at the same time”

“Wonderful insight ito the intricacies of ice.”

“We all know the ice is melting..but in my mind I alway just saw some ice melting..and then the thought stopped. Now I have seen how much more there is to ice is, how beautiful it is, like the textures, the amazing colour blue, the sounds and the bubbles under the ice”
