Andrea Juan

Andrea Juan works with photography, digital video, graphic art, and installation. From 1996-1998, she developed a project on non-toxic printmaking with photopolymers. In 2005, she received a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship to develop her Antarctica Project and has travelled to Antarctica four times. While there, she recorded images and sounds of the terrain, images projected onto glacial walls, and performances on ice shelves during storms. Her body of work is based on scientific investigations related to climate changes. Juan has been a professor of Art at National University Tres de Febrero, UNTREF, Buenos Aires since 1999. In early 2008 she curated the Polar South Project, consisting of an interdisciplinary exhibition of work created by international artists based on their travels to Antarctica, and a symposium, at Museum of National University of Tres de Febrero in Buenos Aires, Argentina. In the summer of 2008, Antarctica III, Methane, was featured at The Project Room for New Media at the Chelsea Art Museum and Candiani Center in Venice, Italy.
