Blumenfeld's Polar Project

inde/jacobs gallery is proud to support gallery artist Erika Blumenfeld and her new work known as The Polar Project. Since 1998 Blumenfeld has been documenting the cycles of solar and lunar light as it bends and scatters through the atmosphere. Her photo-based work has exhibited in galleries and museums throughout the United States as well as Austria, Belgium, England, Germany, Norway, and the Netherlands. Next month her work will premiere in a new museum in Sweden. Blumenfeld has worked on the preparatory stages of The Polar Project for several years. The project is an exciting environmental artwork which will bring the phenomena of light, sky, and sound in real-time video and audio - even sub zero temperatures - to select museums and non-traditional art venues around the world. The viewer will experience the Arctic and Antarctic environment in a sensory multi-media artwork. The goal of this visceral installation is to serve as an impetus for a broad global conversation regarding climate concerns. The Polar Project itself is a conversation across art, science, technology, and environmental research. Blumenfeld has already gathered a team of experts in these fields to assist in the creation of the project. You can join this effort today by participating in a special invitational fundraiser which will help launch the pre-production phase of The Polar Project! Procuring the last remaining boxes of a recently discontinued Polaroid film, Blumenfeld has created a signed limited edition of Polaroid works, Dawn, Midday, and Dusk (Dawn shown above).

These pieces are available for purchase individually for $100 each on a first come, first served basis directly through The Polar Project's website.

Vilis Inde, Director of inde/jacobs is thrilled to be supporting this fundraiser because of his belief in Blumenfeld's exceptional talent, her dedication and enthusiasm, and the goals of this timely project. Blumenfeld is an artist who can bring this ambitious large-scale project to fruition.
