Foreword

0.1 cm is a figure that frequently appears when discussing the rise in sea levels facing the environmental crisis. Scientists predict the movement of glaciers from marine samples that are less than 1 mm in size. Artists who have traveled to the polar regions—places everyone knows of but few can reach—also witness and discover certain changes measured in 0.1 cm. This exhibition brings together the works of artists who have visited the polar regions over the past 12 years, inviting us to borrow the artists’ eyes and consider what the polar regions might be saying to us.
