Lindblad Expeditions: Sneak Peek of CHANGE, Polar Art Exhibit
Sneak Peek of Change | Lindblad Expeditions-National Geographic
“We are thrilled to share with you a virtual preview of CHANGE, the first-ever, permanent ship-based polar art exhibition aboard the world’s ultimate new polar expedition ship, National Geographic Endurance”, said Lindblad Expeditions.
The special preview was shot during the shipboard installation with Zaria Forman, curator of the exhibit and acclaimed artist whose dramatic large-scale pastel drawings documenting climate change are exhibited worldwide.
The video includes a sneak peek of some of the artwork created by a wide range of 50+ artists and includes drawings, paintings, video, photography, sculpture, and even soundscape by a wide range of artists dedicated to examining and expressing response to vulnerable polar geographies.
Once Zaria selected most of the artists, she decided on themes for each deck by illuminating concepts already imbued in the art. The art on each deck will tell a story of the polar regions and will give guests multiple perspectives to contemplate.
“We hung work in many unusual places on the Endurance, including a few surprises that I hope will be fun “discovery” moments for the guests. Some areas on the ship required artists to create in dimensions they rarely work in, for example very tall, skinny, vertical works, but artists were wonderfully accommodating and adaptable!,” stated Zaria Forman.
“It has allowed me to create a community for artists who all have a similar mission in mind, who are all making work about the environment, and to inspire the thousands of guests who will come onboard in a way that they would perhaps not be by just looking out the window – in a whole other dimension by seeing the art on the ship.”
