CHICAGO, 2013-01-11 — /travelprnews.com/ — An awe-inspiring new exhibit featuring a collection of 18 large-scale images of glaciers from the Extreme Ice Survey (EIS) project has arrived at O’Hare International Airport. “Ice: Portraits of Vanishing Glaciers”, located past security in Terminal 2, features the work of acclaimed photographer James Balog, whose Chasing Ice documentary made news earlier today when a song from the film was nominated for an Academy Award.
“The imagery showcased in this fascinating exhibit is captivating and thought-provoking in its depiction of changing glaciers,” said Chicago Department of Aviation Commissioner Rosemarie S. Andolino. “On behalf of Mayor Rahm Emanuel, we are very pleased to work with James Balog, Earth Vision Trust and the Joyce Foundation to feature this unique photo collection which will raise awareness of the Extreme Ice Survey project for the millions of passengers who travel through Chicago’s global gateway.”
The exhibit is part of the CDA Arts and Exhibits Program. The goal of the program is to enhance travelers’ airport experience by presenting aesthetically pleasing, engaging and enlightening art and exhibits throughout Chicago’s airports. In addition to its permanent art collection, CDA features artists, cultural institutions and non-for-profit organizations to participate in a variety of exhibition opportunities at the airports.
