A piece of the Arctic will be taking up residency in the UK.

Arts Council England has awarded money to Devon artist Alex Hartley, who will be using the money to tow part of an Arctic island all the way to the UK.

Place on a barge, the rocks will then make the trip to the UK where they will be placed on a floating platform to create the piece of art, called “Nowhere Island”. more »
