Experience a new immersive version of Terra Montane in Zero Celsius, a new exhibition at Mad River Valley Arts in Waitsfield, VT through April 23, 2026.
“Brad Johnson’s six-channel video installation also looping in the gallery, likewise grapples with how we conceptualize a melting landscape but from a very different perspective. Through overlapping projections and with an atmospheric, experimental soundtrack, Johnson gives us images of mountains and ice caves, both real and made from animations of data points measuring the terrain. The information is rendered as a ghostly topography, seemingly both there and absent; part of the film is based on an 18th-century model of Mont Blanc…the images convey our attempts to understand a glacial environment even as it is vanishing.”—Alice Dodge, “Pretty Polarized: Winter Is Worth Seeing in ‘Zero Celsius’”
