Arctic Art





Art to monitor Climate Change!?


heART warming it is to hear!

Dutch Artist A P Verheggen has made two swirling metal sculptures representing a dog sledge. They are installed on an iceberg in western Greenland.

The purpose is to highlight how the ice sheets, thinned by global warming, are a threat to innuits. People will be able to monitor the melting of the iceberg as the sculptures drift away!
