Theme

Antarctica brings together work by Joyce Campbell, Anne Noble, and Connie Samaras on the subject of Antarctica, the most extreme continent on the planet. Artist residencies enabled each of them to photograph and experience firsthand the severe and almost inhuman conditions. Each artist's work approaches the subject with differing yet overlapping frameworks, creating a transcultural dialogue that seeks to de-exoticise a landscape that has been romanticised, idealised, and made epic.

Saturday 9th May, 1pm

Artists Joyce Campbell, Anne Noble and Connie Samaras give a tour of the exhibition Antarctica and discuss their experiences in and responses to the place.

Saturday 13th June, 1pm

Antarctic Research Centre Manager Tamsin Falconer discusses the intersections between art and science in Antarctica in response to the exhibition by Joyce Campbell, Anne Noble and Connie Samaras.
