Polar Outreach Catalogue

SNAP FROZEN offers a glimpse into the collaborative ArtScience ventures of New Zealand artist and writer, Claire Beynon (www.clairebeynon.co.nz), US polar biologist Dr. Samuel Bowser (www.boswerlab.org) and South African porcelain artists, Katherine Glenday (www.katherineglenday.com and Christina Bryer (www.christinabryer.com). This image-rich presentation draws parallels between art-making and scientific processes, focusing in on the imperatives of outreach and advocacy as well as on the unexpected ? often exceptional - potentials of interdisciplinary collaboration. The humanities and sciences are more kindred than is sometimes acceded, each being a layered exploration of knowledge and meaning. Collaboration between disciplines underlines the notion that ?together we are more than the sum of the parts.'
