ERIKA BLUMenfeld AT RICHARD LEVY

There will be an Artist reception for, Erika Blumenfeld: Early Findings: Artifacts from the Polar Project, on Saturday, October 3, 2009, 6:00 - 8:00 pm at the Richard Levy Gallery.

"In January 2009, Erika Blumenfeld traveled to Eastern Antarctica as the artist-in-residence of ITASC (Interpolar Transnational Art Science Constellation) and SANAP (South African National Antarctic Program). Living and working on the ice fields for four weeks in Eastern Antarctica, Blumenfeld initiated her ambitious environment-focused artwork, The Polar Project, and created several new bodies of work including installations from her ongoing Light Recordings, as well as new video pieces and photographs in a series titled Apparent Horizons. These new works focus on the distinct and sublime phenomena of light, sky, and sound in Antarctica and aim to evoke a visceral experience of the wondrous and raw yet fragile polar environment" - from the Richard Levy Gallery website
