Cairo: the breaking up of the ice exhibition guide

Cairo: the breaking up of the ice is a collaborative exhibition by Jacob Cartwright and Nick Jordan. The exhibition includes a new film installation inspired by the writings of the 19th century artist, ornithologist and frontiersman John James Audubon alongside drawings, found objects and ephemera relating to Audubon, Cairo and the Mississippi/Ohio confluence.

This gallery guide is a shortened version of an essay which appears in The Audubon Trilogy: Delineations of American Scenery & Manners, a new DVD & chapbook publication by Jacob Cartwright and Nick Jordan.
