We're thrilled to present The Department of Objects, our second collaboration with Jeroen Smeets of The Jaunt.

Back in February, we teamed up to bring Wyatt Hersey, Melissa Lakey, Esther Pearl Watson, and Anna Valdez from balmy California to the frigid tundra of the Midwest, subjecting them to a proper winter for the first time in their lives with frozen lakes, sledding, snowballs, and temperatures reaching a sublime 4 degrees Fahrenheit. The destination? The historic and picturesque Camp Wandawega, located just a short trek north of Chicago in Elkhorn, Wisconsin.

The artists joined us in the lodges, kitchens, and bunk houses of Camp Wandawega for five days of arctic magic, art making, and only superficial frostbite.
