Ice: Moments – Past, Present, Future

August 21, 7-9 pm @ MHC Gallery, 610 Shaftesbury Blvd.

The photographs of Klaus Hochheim provide a time-capsule view into a polar world at risk, but given the urgency around issues of climate change and global warming, it is relevant to ask what we have learned from artists and scientists like Klaus? In this event, we will celebrate Ice: Moments and Klaus’ legacy by considering current science and art taking place in the Arctic Circle. Artist Jonathan S. Greene, recent participant of the Arctic Circle arts residency and Dr. David Babb, a Research Associate with the Centre for Earth Observations Science who studies Arctic sea ice, will join us, surrounded by Klaus photographs’, to share their current work in the Arctic and invite us to think about the future of the polar spaces that profoundly impact our world.

L-R: Jonathan S. Greene, Dr. David Babb

Jonathan S. Green (He/Him)

Jonathan S. Green is an artist working in print media and drawing. Born in Labrador City, Newfoundland and Labrador, Green comes from Mi’kmaq, Inuit, and settler heritage. Green earned an MFA in Printmaking from the University of Alberta. In 2016 he canoed down the Yukon River from Whitehorse to Dawson as part of the Canadian Wilderness Artist Residency. He has also hiked extensively through the Rockies and in Alaska. He has been awarded grants from the Canada Council for the Arts, Manitoba Arts Council and Winnipeg Arts Council. He was a recent participant in the Arctic Circle Residency.

Dr. David Babb (He/Him)

Dr. David Babb is a Research Associate at the Centre for Earth Observation Science (CEOS), University of Manitoba. He studies Arctic sea ice using a combination of field observations, remote sensing, and model output to better understand not only how sea ice is responding to a warming climate but also to understand how it intersects with the underlying ocean, affects shipping in Arctic waters, provides a habitat for everything from ice algae to polar bears, and is used by local communities. Although his main research focus involves the Canadian Arctic (Beaufort Sea and Hudson Bay), he has also worked in the coastal fjords around Greenland and at the southern edge of the ice pack near Newfoundland. He has served as a scientific editor for Annals of Glaciology and coordinates sea ice seminars for the International Glaciological Society’s online Global Seminar series.

Entry by donation. No registration required.
