Old ice in the Arctic is not eternal. It happens to all of us at the same time, we deposit ourselves as layers of earth. Are we thus equal?In April 2022, artist Judith Neunhäuserer sailed along Svalbard with The Arctic Circle - Artist & Scientist Residency Program. She took part in the Spring Expedition, which started in Tromsø and ended in Longyearbyen. Two months before the trip, she started keeping a diary. It melts together weather situations, body sensations and primary emotions, gallery and archive visits, IPCC reports and therapy sessions. There were twenty-five other artists on board the ship as well as eleven crew members. She interviewed one of them each day, following a fixed catalogue of questions.

What happens when we are left behind?  The Consequences is a hybrid collection of prose and poetry by Max Brett. It is an autofictional examination of the pain of a transatlantic relocation from New York to the blanketing beige of Paris to rejoin a totemic muse. The collection also focuses on corgi attacks, Maryland, painful anxiety, the struggle to accept the things one cannot change, the third party and the past as adamantine shackles. The "towering sexual iconography of Mike Immerman" looms over the disorientation of a reluctant resident in "the City of Light."Max Brett's previous collection of poetry, Nor Do These, was published in 2019.
