Note(s):

"I created a series of projects, interventions, and publications designed to fit specifically with the structure of the conference. The Airport Pick-Ups volunteers formed a welcoming committee. This team picked up out-of-towners at the airport holding a banner that read 'WE ARE HERE FOR YOU' and drove them to their host’s home. This same team also drove the participants back to the airport to catch their departing flights, as well as provided a shuttle service to and from the university during the conference."

Description:

Rebecca Belmore and Osvaldo Yero used ice to make a new artwork melt during the long sleepless night of the Nuit Blanche festival. A large block of ice signified a life-size form, the absent body, as evidence that it, too, will disappear. This work symbolically suggested the frozen land of Canada in winter.

STONECHILD

(Poem on panel near work)

     found 5 days later frozen to death in a field
     wearing one shoe
     marks on his body likely caused by handcuffs

     aboriginal teenage boy
     dropped off and walking to where?

     In memory of Neil Stonechild (1973-1990)
