Cy Keener and Justine Holzman

Set in a seventy-foot public window on a major thoroughfare with traffic volumes of over 60,000 cars per day, the 120-day interdisciplinary installation will span from peak ice thickness, through to little or no ice, chronicling the presence and absence of this precarious natural phenomena at a critical moment of environmental change.
