Margaret Sharrow is an artist exploring these questions and has an online proposal to create ULTIMATE STILLNESS at the North Pole (to read more and vote for her proposal, see http://www.blogyourwaytothenorthpole.com/entries/166). As a prelude to heading to the Arctic, she is organising an online exhibition of images of stillness and silence that is open to all.

DEADLINE:
NOW EXTENDED to 1 March 2011.

Artists chosen for the interventions will be contacted in advance and fully credited.
