Warming up to the Copenhagen COP15 in December, the North Atlantic House has shrouded itself in an icy garment. A translucent screen imprinted with photographic reproductions of ice covers the waterfront end of the building, giving the appearance from a distance that it has rammed into and is being engulfed by a towering iceberg. The 21 meters high and approximately 4000 square meter installation entitled ”The Tip of the Iceberg” is the work of artist Inuk Silis Høegh. It was inaugurated on Friday 20 November in an event that took place outside the North Atlantic House and included speeches by the Icelandic ambassador to Denmark Svavar Gestsson and head of the Faroese Representation Herálvur Joensen, followed by handing of flowers to the artist and serving of hot drinks steaming between hands in the cooling late afternoon November air. In the fading daylight, projectors illuminated the installation from below and the appurtenant soundtrack began playing gentle sounds of ice sighing, cracking, being lapped by waves, and melting, dripping and trickling. And so the installation or the strange - part iceberg, part warehouse - edifice conveyed its double message to the people gathered on the pier, that of a majestic, invincible Arctic, and, at the same time, that of a fragile and threatened one. In a way, the renovated 18th century warehouse in itself sends out a similar kind of mixed and restless signals by being the pure product and a clear-cut symbol of colonial enterprise in the North Atlantic and Arctic regions that, however,  nowadays seems to have  been almost completely inverted and taken over by emissaries of the former colonies.



During COP15, it will host two parallel event venues, one of which is the Greenland Representation organised event entitled In the Eye of Climate Change, while the other is the Venue Arctic under the auspices of the Danish Energy Agency. Both comprise a number of exhibition stands, speeches, panel debates, workshops, and film screenings centring on the overall themes of climate change mitigation and adaptation, and on the various ways and discourses on how to relate to these issues. Independent of each other and yet coordinated, the two events seem to have agreed on a certain division of labour. The In the Eye of Climate Change event thus focuses on Greenlandic issues and applies a mainly socio-economic, and human interest angle, whereas the Arctic Venue programme weighs scientific, Arctic Council Working Group approaches. Both venues open to the public on Saturday 12 December. However, a closed vernissage of the Greenland Representation organised exhibition will take place the day before, on Friday 11 December. On this occasion, the official inauguration will be performed by his Majesty Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark. Greenland Premier Kuupik Kleist will host the event that also features artistic performances as well as the serving of traditional Greenlandic food.
