Ice Follies 2018
February 9th - 20th, 2018
Theme: Exposing to Strengthen
The creation of ice roads requires the clearing of snow to expose the ice to the cold. The snow is cleared well beyond the used roadway to ensure safe ice thickness from the center to the edges of the used portion of the ice road. What do we bring to light, allow or expose so a strengthening can occur?
Eric Robillard, Infinite Patterns, 2018
An interactive piece using mirrors that are facing each other in triangular shape, creating a kaleidoscope effect when the observer peaks inside. This installation exists on different levels, and patterns can gradually be added as the observers and the artists explore different ways to play with the reflections.
