Katrin Sigurdardottir: High Plane V March 2, 2007

'High Plane V' will depict an artificial landscape, made of the most basic construction materials blue insulation material and white paint. The panorama, which is a mix of imagined and real Arctic topographies, will be constructed on the floor of the third floor corner gallery. In order to view the landscape, visitors will be invited to climb up one of two ladders in the second floor gallery and raise their heads through one of the two holes in the ceiling above. Upon reaching the third floor, the two viewers will be confronted not only with the icescape, but also with each other. As the topography is elusive in its source, it invites diverse interpretations -- mountain ridges, icebergs, glaciers or perhaps archipelagos seen from above the clouds.
