DESCRIPTION:Program Description\nThe ODD Gallery\, in collaboration with STEPS (Sustainable Thinking & Expressions in Public Spaces)\, is pleased to present Re:Imagine | Re:Create\, a public art initiative that champions sustainability\, creative reuse\, and community engagement. This program will commission the creation of an original site-specific public artworks utilizing reclaimed materials sourced from various locations across Dawson City\, including the municipal dump\, Thrift Store\, Free Store\, local construction sites\, mis-tint paint from Home Hardware\, and donations from voluntary community members. This initiative seeks to engage an artist with a demonstrated history of working with reclaimed materials\, ensuring the final artworks are not only structurally sound but also conceptually rigorous\, inclusive\, and accessible to a diverse audience. The selected artist will be challenged to consider both the environmental implications of material reuse and the social narratives embedded within the salvaged objects\, transforming discarded materials into evocative public art installations that foster dialogue and reflection. The completed works will be temporarily installed on the Dawson City dike as part of the Yukon Riverside Arts Festival (YRAF) taking place June 12 – 15\, 2025. By activating this prominent public space with thought-provoking and environmentally conscious art\, Re:Imagine | Re:Create aims to highlight the potential of creative sustainability while deepening community connections to both the artistic process and the local landscape. \nThis project is supported by STEPS Public Art\, the TD Bank Group through the TD Ready Commitment and the Canadian Council for the Arts. \nPlease see our Public Art -> OPEN CALL – Re:Imagine | Re:Create page for full details on how and when to apply.\n \nWe’re looking forward to reviewing all potential proposals!\n\nAbout STEPS\n\n\n STEPS Public Art is a Canadian charity and social enterprise.

DESCRIPTION:JUAN ORTIZ-APUY  |  TROPICANA February 13 – April 12\, 2025 ODD Gallery\, Dënäkär Zho |  KIAC Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in territory\, Dawson City\, Yukon \n\n\n\n\n\nTROPICANA\n\n\n\nA GENUINE FORAY INTO THE WORLD OF OBJECTS\, THE YOUTH EXHIBITION TROPICANA SEEKS TO EXAMINE THE WAY WE CONSUME TODAY THE BETTER TO UNDERSTAND ITS FUTURE IMPACTS. \n\n\n\nWhen confronting the environmental crisis\, in which unbridled production of goods is threatening the diversity of the natural world\, it’s essential that we take an interest in how things are displayed\, commercialized and consumed\, whether in brick-and-mortar store windows or online. This youth exhibition\, specially designed for kids and teenagers aged 6 to 14\, casts a critical eye on modern consumer society and advertising aimed at children\, which often features animals\, colours\, sounds and shapes designed to appeal to them. For the occasion\, Montreal-based Costa Rican artist Juan Ortiz-Apuy has created a visual and sound environment allowing visitors to explore the language of advertising and its ability to act on us\, in sometimes unexpected ways. The artist based his research on new marketing strategies that have emerged in the social media era\, i.e.\, the phenomenon of “unboxing” and ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) videos. Besides a guided tour\, children can take part in a workshop designed to awaken their senses\, creativity and critical thinking. Observation games to be completed with family members round out the experience. \nTo learn more about the artist – GO HERE \n  \n\n\n\nFREE Private Tour Booking\n\n\n\nThe ODD Gallery is excited to offer pre-scheduled 45-minute or 90-minute tours of TROPICANA to any interested schools\, daycares\, youth centres\, elders centres\, families or professional organizations interested in directed education on how stealth-marketing incentives all of us to buy.
