Michèle Noach
Artoonist
Michèle Noach joined Cape Farewell on the 2004 Art/Science Expedition. Taking almost three weeks the Cape Farewell crew circumnavigated Spitsbergen, the main island of the Svalbard archipelago, aboard the Noorderlicht - sailing almost as far North as possible. Following the expedition Michèle produced her series of 'Lenticulars', featured in the Cape Farewell book Burning Ice, and exhibited with Art & Climate Change. She returned to the Arctic on her second voyage with Cape Farewell in September 2008, joining the Disko Bay Expedition.
In 2007 Cape Farewell visited The Lost Gardens of Heligan, pre-cursor to creation of Eden Project, as part of our long term collaboration with the Eden Project. From this start point Michèle has worked with both Heligan and Eden Project on several projects, and is proud to invite you to the first public showing of this work, The Glasshouse Men, an installation of lenticulars in the greenhouses at The Lost Gardens of Heligan, 3 – 28 November 2008. Some of the works will also be shown at the Curwen Gallery, 3 - 24 December 2008.
