About the Event
Artists: Chang Hanna, Soyoung Chung, Han Sungpil, Ella Morton, Sanaz Mazinani, Jinny Yu
We intend to have the artists introduce their representative works and share their experiences from the 4-night, 5-day ICE & FIRE tour.
ICE refers to melting glaciers, and FIRE represents unquenchable wildfires. The focal points that each artist captures from the disaster scenes they experience are likely to be different and are expected to be recorded and blended into their works, creating new artistic landscapes.
During this talk, we would like to designate the participating artists of this project as ‘Artistic Chroniclers.’ We aim to introduce how these artistic chroniclers document the scenes from their field surveys with in-depth reflection on environmental ecology.
Who we Are
Debris from Ice and Fire (DIF) is a global art project conducted with the support of the International Partnership in Support of Arts Creation (ISAC)’s [2022-2024 Canada-Korea Connections] driven by the partnership between the Canada Council for the Arts and the Arts Council Korea.
The DIF would like to bring contemporary visual artists from Canada and Korea, who have been continuously conducting in-depth research and reflection on environmental ecology, to explore the climate change-induced natural disaster sites in Banff & Jasper National Parks and to visually interpret the debris collected through exploration, while actively sharing artistic opinions.
