Ask Jerves
"nothing has ever been this true."
During the 2004 Cape Farewell expedition Alex Hartley began the work Nymark (Undiscovered Island), an artwork documenting the process of finding and naming a new island; an island only uncovered in recent years due to the retreating glaciers. The work is currently touring with the Cape Farewell: Art & Climate Change exhibition in collaboration with Barbican International Entreprises.
The island will be transposed onto a floating platform, and brought to the UK via International Waters. Whilst outside national seas, the island will become nowhereisland and will declare itself a new micronation.
The is an incredible project that I’ve been following for a few years. My friend Ben Jervey went on the Cape Farewell expedition a few years ago and he had an incredible trip. Very interesting stuff.
and as a formal “citizen” of nowhereisland, i’m talking with Hartley about how to possibly float it across the pond.
