Arctic / edited by Michael Juul Holm, Mathias Ussing Seeberg and Poul Erik Tojner.

"The Arctic encompasses a basis narrative of our culture and its use of images and constructs, myths and mise-en-scenes. Louisiana's exhibition and this catalogue unfold the dream of the far North as image, cultural ideal and scientific field. From the Romantic Age to present-day contemporary art, the Arctic plays a role as a place where everything terminates in endless whiteness and something new can begin. An untouched landscape - terrifying and dangerous. Once a territory to be conquered, the Arctic today could well mark the perimeter of human power."--Back cover.
