monolith

Monolith is a series of audio-visual installations and live concerts created by Lawrence English
and Werner Dafeldecker. The work is based on an extensive field trip to the Antarctica Peninsula
under the auspice of the Argentine Antarctic Division.
In February 2010, the artists were invited by the Argentinean Antarctic Chancellery
to visit two locations on the Antarctic Peninsula and create a work that responds to the social,
historical and geographic qualities of this region.
