Sioux City museum exhibit showcases Antarctica's beauty through photography, sculpture
Sioux City Journal - A new exhibit will take Sioux City Public Museum visitors on a series of “walks” through the harsh frozen desert of Antarctica — a place few people ever get to see.
Matt Anderson, the museum’s curator, said usually only scientists or military personnel have access to the remote areas of earth’s southernmost continent. But in 2015, Helen Glazer, an artist, traveled to Antarctica as a grantee of the National Science Foundation’s Antarctic Artists and Writers Program. There she photographed ice and geological formations, which were used for the eventual production of photographic prints and sculptures that make up “Walking in Antarctica.”
