ANTARCTICA: PASSION AND OBSESSION An exhibition of 82 framed photographs from the internationally acclaimed 27-pound book ANTARCTICA, by Pat and Rosemarie Keough is available for openings July 2008 through to 2010. Curated by Lafayette College, and subsequently expanded to double in size by the University of Colorado at Boulder, the exhibit then travelled to Colorado Christian University and is now at Western Washington University. In Europe a second similar exhibit has been presented in Budapest, Bratislava, Innsbruck, and upcoming in Vienna. The motivation for the exhibitions is to share this body of work (awarded World's Best Nature Photography and World's Best Photo Book 2005) beyond the collectors of the 950 copies of this limited edition tome. Please browse the photos of actual exhibitions linked from http://www.keough-art.com/ExhibitionLectures.html and also details http://www.library.wwu.edu/ref/subjguides/antarctica/antarctica.htm Cost is shipping plus an honorarium of the institute's discretion to the photographers.

Excerpt from the UC-Boulder Press Release: ANTARCTICA - PASSION AND OBSESSION' EXHIBIT AT CU-BOULDER OPENS NOV. 1 2007 Award-winning photographs by two of the world's top polar region photographers, Pat and Rosemarie Keough, will be on display at the University of Colorado at Boulder from Nov. 1 through Dec. 31. The traveling exhibit, "Antarctica - Passion and Obsession," illustrates the extreme landscape of the world's 7th continent and is composed of more than 80 images from the Keoughs' acclaimed book ANTARCTICA, which won 11 international gold honors. The Keoughs' work, which captures the rare beauty of Antarctica's mountains, glaciers and wildlife, is the result of two austral summers spent on the Antarctic continent. In a statement about their photography experience the Keoughs said, "We keenly felt the immensity of Antarctica and also a certain vulnerability... Antarctica is a harsh land of extremes . . . and of superlatives. It is the coldest and the windiest of the seven continents, as well as the most isolated. "Antarctica is the highest of all continents with an average elevation over triple that of North America. Antarctica is also a desert; and although it is the driest of continents, Antarctica's great polar ice cap smothers nearly the entire landscape locking 70 percent of the world's freshwater in ice and snow. . . . Our photographs, many of which we composed together using one camera on one tripod, reflect our shared emotional response to what could easily be construed as overwhelming stimulus." The exhibit has been brought to the CU-Boulder campus in celebration of the 40th anniversary of the CU-NOAA Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences, or CIRES. CIRES is the oldest and largest of the NOAA cooperative institutes and one of two in Colorado. "We are delighted to be able to share the Keough's stunning photographs of Antarctica with the public," said CIRES director Konrad Steffen, an expert on Greenland and climate change. "Several CIRES scientists conduct research in Antarctica, and many of us also study the effects of global climate change in the polar regions." --------------------------------------------- Pat & Rosemarie Keough [log in to unmask] http://www.keough-art.com tel: 250-653-4993 400 Meyer Road Salt Spring Island, British Columbia Canada V8K 1X4 __________________________________________________________________ Mail submissions to [log in to unmask] For information about joining ARLIS/NA see: http://www.arlisna.org/join.html Send administrative matters (file requests, subscription requests, etc) to [log in to unmask] ARLIS-L Archives and subscription maintenance: http://lsv.uky.edu/archives/arlis-l.html Questions may be addressed to list owner (Judy Dyki) at: [log in to unmask]
