Anna McKee and Kendrick Taylor on 68,000 Years of Ice
This event is no longer on sale.
In January 2012, after ten years of planning and work, scientists completed drilling a 3,405-meters core from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. It is one of the deepest and most detailed ice cores ever retrieved. Data from the study of this ice is redefining our understanding of the climate record. McKee’s WAIS Reliquary sculpture acts as a shrine and permanent memorial of this project, symbolically recapturing samples taken from the depths of the ice sheet and drawing connections between the secular and sacred. Join us as Seattle-based artist, Anna McKee, and DRI scientist, Kendrick Taylor, participate in a dialogue about the exhibition Anna McKee: 68,000 Years of Ice.
