Antarctica

In the frame of the 7th edition of the International Festival of Visual Arts l'Eté des Arts en Auxois-Morvan, the artists present a fragment of Antarctic Village – No Borders, first installed on the Antarctic penninsula in 2007 and which toured to the Hangar Biccoca in Milan and Le Galleria Continua / Le Moulin in 2008.

The series Antartica embodies the hope for a neutral peaceful land, free of conflict. The Dome Dwellings and Drop Parcahutes embelished with all nation flags are a physical embodiment of a new ‘Global Village’, referring to the right to freedom of movement enshrined within the UN Declaration for Human Rights. For the opening, the artists distributed the Antarctica World Passport to the inhabitants of Montbard adding to the online database: http://antarcticaworldpassport.mit.edu/citizens/news
