Ice Cold Shanty Art

http://current.com/items/87938051_ice-cold...

Every winter, in the middle of a frozen lake in Minnesota, a brave group of artists come together to create the Art Shanty Projects. Part art festival, part extreme sport, the Ice Shanty Projects requires that each artist build his or her own "Art Shanty", a modified version of the small shacks traditionally used for ice fishing. The artists must survive extreme weather- sometimes 20 degrees below zero- to build their shanty. In this pod, intrepid VC2 producer, Shakademic, braves the weather cold to cover the closing
celebration of this unusual celebration of art and ice.
