From pole to pole, artists have been pinning the Earth at both ends this March; with Dutch sculptor Ap Verheggen in Greenland and UK painter/sculptor Nasser Azam in Antarctica.
As a continuation his Performance Painting project (an exploration of environmental conditions and their effect on painting)UK Nasser Azam embarked on a widely-announced trip to Antarctica this February 2010. Numerous excursions to the fish freezers of Billingsgate and experimentation with lacing acrylic paint with anti-freeze have been just some of the preparations disclosed for the trip in which he faced -30˚C (wind chill of -45˚C) temperatures and 100kph winds.
