Applying dilettantism as a method of joining scientific and artistic research, we deliberately acknowledge
the difficulties of knowing the glacier and interacting with it in a non-exploitive way. We search to be affected, recalibrating
our thought patterns and habitual reactions to achieve unconventional data collection.
After days of dilly dallying,
lollygagging and bracing the glacial climate we welcome you to our symposium and exhibition to sit together, share observations,
ask questions, and reevaluate preconceptions about the glacier’s being and our own complicity in the destruction of this landscape.
Using our own field research at the Suldenferner as a starting point, the aim of our event is to share reports and materials
from the glacier, through discursive and spatial means, and expand on these experiences with a curated program of invited
guests. It is an attempt at a more multifaceted, heterogenous and thicker description of a glacier, beyond its current reductive
stereotype.
