NORTH BY NUUK - Art Museum Exhibition opening next Tuesday

[Edith Ellis]

The Plattsburgh State Art Museum presents “*North by Nuuk: Greenland After
Rockwell Kent with Denis Defibaugh*,” opening to the public on February 1st
and continuing through March 11, 2022 in Burke Gallery, 2nd floor John
Myers Building.

*North by Nuuk is an intimate, contemporary look at the people and the
social and primal geographic landscapes of Greenland. Photographer Denis
Defibaugh presents his journey from Nuuk to the settlement of Illorsuit,
300 miles north of the Arctic Circle, following Rockwell Kent s earlier
footsteps and offering a fresh look at timeless Greenland. Defibaugh's
revealing documentary photographs made during 2016-17 introduce a changing
country and its cultural continuity in response to Kent's 1930s historic
writings and hand-tinted lantern slide images made during his residence in
Greenland. The innovative documentary project, supported by a National
Science Foundation award, weaves Defibaugh's stunning photographs through
past and present daily life while linking Greenlanders with their pristine
and revered landscape. *
