Campuses:
UPCOMING Freeze Frame EVENTS
Saturday, February 11: Installation in Action with Areca Roe
Friday, April 13: A special Bell Social celebrating the completion of Freeze Frame. Live music, food and drink, special presentations and more. Details to come!
The ashes and maples have given up their last leaves and deep snows blanket the land from the northern lake country to the last remnants of tall grass prairie in southwest Minnesota; yet, look closely and you will see nature come alive in the stillness of this newly frozen world.
Freeze Frame: Capturing Nature in Winter, a collaborative effort between the public and Bell Museum Artist in Residence, Areca Roe, celebrates this seasonal awakening by exploring people's individual and collective experiences of nature and winter in the Midwest - as captured through the camera lens.
Selected images will be used in the installation, and all submissions meeting our below criteria will featured on our online gallery Flickr stream - and streaming below!
Freeze Frame is made by possible through support from DigiGraphics Inc.
The Bell wants you to be part of the Freeze Frame exhibit, and it's easy! How? Send us a photo. Frost on a sidewalk? A child tasting snow? Wildlife seeking shelter? Whatever speaks to you....we want to see it! Now through March 19, 2012 at 11:59 p.m. you are invited to submit images that showcase a connection to the natural world during the winter season. Using your uploaded photographs as her medium and inspiration, Roe will create and curate the ongoing, ever-changing crowd-sourced installation.
