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.

He is an assistant professor in the Department of Studio Arts at Concordia University. Working in his favoured techniques of collage and assemblage\, he makes art driven by thinking around consumer goods\, often employing humour to explore the advertising and media strategies associated with them. His works—which he presents in the form of multimedia installations—draw inspiration from design\, art history and pop culture. His work has been shown in several museums and art centres across Canada as well as abroad\, including the Fondation Phi pour l’art contemporain (Montreal)\, Birch Contemporary Gallery (Toronto)\, OPTICA\, centre d’art contemporain (Montréal)\, ARTSPACE (Peterborough)\, the Carleton University Art Gallery (Ottawa)\, the IKEA Museum (Älmhult\, Sweden)\, as well as at MOMENTA | Biennale de l’image in Montreal and Manif d’art 7 in Quebec City. In 2011 he was the beneficiary of the Halifax Regional Municipality Contemporary Visual Art Purchase Program. Upcoming projects include a solo show at Open Space (Victoria)\, and residencies at MASS MoCA (North Adams\, MA\, USA) and the Zentrum Für Keramik (Berlin). Juan Ortiz-Apuy holds a BFA from Concordia University\, where he now teaches\, along with a postgraduate diploma from the Glasgow School of Art and an MFA from NSCAD University. \n\n\n\n\n\nCrédit pour la tournée de Juan : \n\n\n\nLa circulation de Tropicana bénéficie du soutien financier du Conseil des arts du Canada et du Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec.

SUMMARY:WEAVING THE MIDNIGHT SUN Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for the opening reception of Weaving the Midnight Sun\, a new exhibition celebrating the creativity and craftsmanship of Yukon fibre artists! \n Date: June 12th\, 2025 Time: 7pm – 10pm Location: ODD Gallery\, Dawson City Wine\, cheese and non-alcoholic beverages will be served Free & open to all! \n\nPresented by the Northern Fibres Guild \nWeaving the Midnight Sun is a celebration of fibre practice in the Yukon — a region shaped by long winters\, luminous summers\, and the steady rhythm of handwork passed between generations. This exhibition brings together the work of artists and makers from the Northern Fibres Guild\, an organization that has supported and nurtured Yukon fibre artists since its beginnings in 1974. \nRooted in traditional techniques like spinning\, weaving\, dyeing\, and felting\, and expanding into contemporary interpretations of textile art\, these works speak to the resourcefulness\, creativity\, and quiet resilience of making in the North. Each piece carries a unique story — of material transformed\, of time held in stitch and thread\, of ideas shared in community. \nLike the midnight sun itself\, these works radiate warmth\, clarity\, and a sense of wonder. They invite us to consider the power of slow\, intentional creation — and the ways in which fibre connects us to the land\, to each other\, and to the long thread of creative practice that we continue to weave together. \n\nWe are grateful for the support of Canada Council for the Arts along with the Yukon Tourism and Culture Arts Operating Funds

SUMMARY:From Rags to Rug: Community Loom Demonstration
DESCRIPTION:As part of Weaving the Midnight Sun and the Yukon Riverside Arts Festival\, textile artist Janice Brodie invites the public into the process of community weaving. \nUsing scraps\, old linens\, and fabric donated by Dawson locals and drawn from her own stash\, Janice will spend the day weaving a communal rug on a floor loom in the ODD Gallery. This is a celebration of reuse\, resilience\, and the stories we share through cloth. \nVisitors are welcome to stop in\, ask questions\, contribute material\, or even try weaving a few rows. Whether you participate for a moment or an hour\, your presence becomes part of the finished piece — a rug woven by many hands\, for many to enjoy. \nAll ages and experience levels are welcome!

This exhibition brings together the work of artists and makers from the Northern Fibres Guild\, an organization that has supported and nurtured Yukon fibre artists since its beginnings in 1974. \n\n\n\nRooted in traditional techniques like spinning\, weaving\, dyeing\, and felting\, and expanding into contemporary interpretations of textile art\, these works speak to the resourcefulness\, creativity\, and quiet resilience of making in the North.

Founded in 1974 as the Yukon Weavers’ Guild\, the organization has grown over the decades to embrace a wide range of traditional and contemporary textile practices — including spinning\, weaving\, dyeing\, knitting\, felting\, sewing\, and more. Based in Whitehorse and open to members from across the territory and beyond\, the Guild provides a welcoming space for people of all skill levels to learn\, create\, and connect. Through regular workshops\, exhibitions\, artist talks\, and social events\, we foster the exchange of knowledge\, ideas\, and inspiration among fibre lovers of all backgrounds. Our members are united by a shared appreciation for slow\, hands-on making and the rich creative possibilities of natural and reclaimed materials. Whether you’re just picking up a drop spindle for the first time or have years of experience behind a loom\, the Northern Fibres Guild is here to support your fibre journey. Join us to be part of a vibrant\, intergenerational community where creativity is nurtured\, skills are shared\, and the threads of tradition and innovation are woven together in the North.. \n\n\n\nWe are grateful for the support of Canada Council for the Arts along with the Yukon Tourism and Culture Arts Operating Funds

SUMMARY:ODD Gallery Exhibition | UPROOTED by Jaimie Robson
DESCRIPTION:JAIMIE ROBSON  |  UPROOTED\nFebruary 6 – March 14\, 2026\nODD Gallery\, Dënäkär Zho |  KIAC\nTr’ondëk Hwëch’in territory\, Dawson City\, Yukon \nOPENING RECEPTION: Thursday\, February 6th at 7PM – 9PM \nUPROOTED\nUprooted is an immersive shadow installation that explores notions of collective loss and grief as they relate to impending climate change. The work grapples with wildfires that are wreaking havoc on the landscape and uprooting small communities. The project begins on the forest floor\, bringing a microscopic lens to the ground beneath our feet. This up-close perspective serves as an entry point for thinking about larger issues of climate anxiety\, uncertainty\, and the notion of solastalgia. \nArtist Statement\nI am an interdisciplinary artist based in Montreal. I use traditional craft-based techniques to create contemporary artworks and installations. The artworks in this exhibition represent my ongoing interest in working with cut paper in relation to elements of light and shadow. Having grown up on BC’s west coast\, the mossy forest floor is the most comforting place I can conjure and is one I return to often\, both in my imagination and in real life \nMy work is inspired by the natural world and by the fragility and complexity inherent within notions of home and belonging. Uprooted explores the intersection between these two concerns. The abstracted imagery that makes up these artworks emerged from microscopic explorations of the forest floor. This perspective opened a pathway to exploring climate anxiety\, uncertainty and solastalgia – the distress and grief one feels when a familiar environment is altered beyond recognition. \nViewers encounter the work through projected light\, activating intricate paper cutouts of imagined natural forms and clustered houses. As shadows shift and expand across the space\, small gestures become monumental. The shadowy transformations of scale\, movement and complexity invite reflection on themes of vulnerability and resilience\, and on the ways our sense of home is shaped\, disrupted\, and reimagined. \nThis work builds on the shadow-based work I have been creating with Mere Phantoms Studios over the past twelve years (https://www.merephantoms.com/). It is the first iteration of a longer-term creative-research process. \nAbout Jaimie Robson\nJaimie Robson is an interdisciplinary artist working primarily in cut paper/shadow\, and porcelain.
