The Snow Show

The art in The Snow Show uses various forms of water--from packed snow to cast ice--to realize architectural/sculptural works by international artists from Carsten Holler to Kiki Smith to Rachel Whiteread. The 2006 edition will be held in Sestriere in the Italian Alps to coincide with the Winter Olympics. View previous years' works here.
