What's happening in Uummannaq?

report from Ole Jorgen Hammeken, our CE team member, from Uummannaq on Facebook:

Ole Jorgen Hammeken is back home in (still) "snow- and iceless" Uummannaq, after a productive week in Nuuk - the dogs are depressed, since they have now been chained for soon 9 months :-(

Ole Jorgen in The Hague

Ole Jorgen Hammeken, our CE senior Arctic advisor and Greenlandic guide, came over to The Hague, to discuss the last details about the installation of the sculptures. Besides he was speaker at an exhibition about Arctic Culture: Mediamatic Amsterdam.

Last week Terry Cutts, CE senior advisor Canada, organised a great diner with a silent auction nearby Toronto. Cool(E)motion wishes to thank everybody for the great and warm welcome. We were completely surprised by the enthusiastic reactions after our presentation and want to thank everybody for the great donations.

Sculptures arrived in Qaarsut

We are very happy to announce that our sculptures arrived in Qaarsut, opposite the Uummannaq Bay. Because it was last month in The Hague colder than in Uummannaq, Greenland, the sea ice was retreated dramatically. A boat will transport them to Uummannaq.
This picture was taken at the studio of Meesterbouw , where we practised in building up the sculptures.
