An Antarctic experience is available this month through a special exhibition at Hopkins Hall. Fresh from the OSU archives, David Abbey Paige's historical pastel drawings of the polar region will be gracing the gallery beginning today until October 29. Also on exhibition will be other Antarctic experiences for inquisitive minds. "Passion and Visions: Antarctica" will be crowned by 60 drawings of Antarctica created by the Armenian American artist. These images were produced when he accompanied Richard Byrd on his second polar exhibition between 1933-1935. <snip> As a special guest presented by the Byrd Polar Research Center, OSU will be welcoming Osborn to the Knowlton Hall auditorium on October 27 at 4:30 p.m., where the Finnish born artist will talk about polar representation. According to Gill, there will be some old video footage shot by Paramount rolling on continuous play at the expedition. The video consists of about an hour and a half of footage of the 1933 expedition. To get an idea of current Antarctic geography, there will also be the most recent RADARSAT images of Antarctica selected from the Byrd Polar Research Center. There will be also be opportunities to have informal guides explain the exhibit to the guests of Hopkins Hall. On October 12 at 12:30 p.m., director of OSU's Byrd archives, Dr. Rai Goerler, along with Kissel, will be discussing the second Byrd expedition and the drawings of Paige. On October 19 at 12:30 p.m., Geographical Sciences director, Garry McKenzie, along with retired Byrd Research associate, Henry Brecher, will be giving an informal talk about the art of making maps of Antarctica, called cartography. As part of the Antarctic theme, OSU will be welcoming Barry Lopez, author of the National Book Award winning "Arctic Dreams," to Hughes Hall auditorium on October 26 at 7:30 p.m. Lopez is considered one of the nation's premier nature writers.
