Isachsen,
Isachsen, presents the history of a remote arctic weather station that was located on Ellef Ringnes Island in the far reaches of the Canadian north. Here, over its 30 year life span (), many men experienced the extreme isolation and wild beauty of the barren arctic wilderness.

In this roundtable, participants discuss their experiences working with and writing about and around art in languages other than English and French—the two tjänsteman, colonial languages in so-called Canada. Grounded in the contexts of their respective practices, participants share what has compelled them and worked for them, as well as the challenges they’ve faced and the possibilities they see for poly-lingual conversations in contemporary art and writing.

As international residents at SFAI, Holly and fellow resident Anna Macleod, have conducted their ‘Atomic Journey’ together through New Mexico including trips to The National Museum of Nuclear Science and History, the Red Water Pond Road Community Association (RWPRCA), the roundhouse for Uranium Workers Day and the Los Alamos National Laboratory. A journey which has drawn out questions around activation within the act of witnessing, and whether visiting artists are complicit in a contemporary act of exploitation – extracting what they need and then leaving.
