Measures 54cm x 46cm.

Nowhereisland is an artistic project by British artist Alex Hartley, made in 2012. It was an artwork that grew from the proposition ‘what if an Arctic island travelled south?’1 The fundamental premise of the project was to create the world’s newest nation, a borderless country with citizenship open to all.
The project began in 2004 with a Cape Farewell expedition Hartley made to the High Arctic region of Svalbard. There, his quest was to find and claim a new island.2 Calling upon the practices of nineteenth century exploration, particularly of the Arctic, Hartley kept an expedition journal. Under an entry titled SEARCH, he describes his pursuit: I find myself monitoring the coastline, watching and checking it against the latest maps and charts: searching for the possibility of new land that might have been revealed from within a retreating glacier. In many places, the charts do not match what I am seeing. Massive glacial retreat has created a changed landscape. Days are passing. We are over three-quarters of the way through our expedition and as yet there is no sign of the imagined island for which I am searching. It was important to Hartley that the island be the physical product or evidence of a changing climate. Only then could it appear as ‘new’ territory, previously unmapped and unclaimed.
