SUMMARY:In the ODD Gallery: SHARP TEETH | Curated by Sanaa Humayun
DESCRIPTION:At the ODD Gallery – Dënäkär Zho \nParticipating Artists: Emily Riddle\, Faith Goodman\, Jasmine Piper\, Kiona Callihoo Ligtvoet\, Mizin Shin\, Raneece Buddan & Rihab Essayh. \nOn View September 12th – October 17th\, 2024 \nSharp Teeth  investigates two related avenues of consideration: First – the use of whisper networks amongst racialized women as a form of relationship building\, and the way feminine language is used to de-legitimize the work done in these spaces. Second – how art/ curatorial relationships can be re-imagined to embody some of the reciprocal care of these racialized spaces in order to develop a better framework for curation/ art making that breaks down the current systems of patriarchy/ White Supremacy. \nThis body of work satirizes the use of feminine visual aesthetics in pop culture\, thinking about how feminine coded aesthetics often relegate feminine relationships to catty\, gossipy\, frivolous things\, and how this package can be reclaimed for a body of work that is on the surface very bright\, campy and mean\, while also holding tender relationships. Ones that are rooted in friendship and care\, ones that hold power despite being dismissed and devalued. Exploring how to bring these relationships out of the margins\, this work leans into the frivolity\, while also celebrating the deep and long lasting nature of these relationships\, without giving away the secrets held within them.

SUMMARY:OPENING RECEPTION | SHARP TEETH
DESCRIPTION:ODD Gallery\, Dënäkär Zho |  KIAC\nTr’ondëk Hwëch’in territory\, Dawson City\, Yukon \nOPENING RECEPTION: Thursday\, September 12nd at 7PM \nAbout the Event\nThe ODD Gallery graciously invites you to come in our next group exhibition SHARP TEETH. Wine and snacks will be served along side 9 original artworks exploring gossip as a method of creating and breaking bonds of connection between female BIPOC artists\, curated by Sanaa Humayun. \nCuratorial Statement\nSharp Teeth  investigates two related avenues of consideration: First – the use of whisper networks amongst racialized women as a form of relationship building\, and the way feminine language is used to de-legitimize the work done in these spaces. Second – how art/ curatorial relationships can be re-imagined to embody some of the reciprocal care of these racialized spaces in order to develop a better framework for curation/ art making that breaks down the current systems of patriarchy/ White Supremacy. \nThis body of work satirizes the use of feminine visual aesthetics in pop culture\, thinking about how feminine coded aesthetics often relegate feminine relationships to catty\, gossipy\, frivolous things\, and how this package can be reclaimed for a body of work that is on the surface very bright\, campy and mean\, while also holding tender relationships.

SUMMARY:ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE - Johannas Zits B2B Nicole Sleeth ARTIST TALK
DESCRIPTION:Thursday September 19th @6pm – 8pm\, in the Dënäkär Zho (KIAC) Ballroom – Bar Service Available \nJOHANNES ZITS\nWith the use of audio-visual performances\, Johannes will be sharing his exploration of the sentience of nature. In working with the natural environment\, Zits extends the notion of the performer to include nature itself. Considering nature as an equal ensures that it can be neither construed as a passive prop nor adored and fixed in the realm of the sublime. \nNICOLE SLEETH\nCentred on the female gaze as an exploration of power\, connection\, and lived experience\, Nicole’s current body of work explores themes of home and belonging\, queer domesticity in a rural setting\, vulnerability and mortality\, and her relationship with the natural landscape. Within this context\, she examines contrasts between public and private life\, outdoor domesticity\, and how memory influences present emotions through metaphor.

SUMMARY:STEPS + ODD Gallery Present: Raven Shares the Sun
DESCRIPTION:KRYSTLE SILVERFOX  |  RAVEN SHARES THE SUN\nOctober 2024 – September 2025 Front Street & Princess Street Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in territory\, Dawson City\, Yukon \nOPENING RECEPTION: Tentatively Scheduled for January 15th\, 2025 ARTIST TALK: TBD \nRaven Shares the Sun is a story about how Raven uses their shape-shifting abilities to transform themselves into various forms in order to steal the Sun from a great Chief. Long ago\, the world has only darkness because the Sun\, Stars and Moon were stored away in bentwood boxes owned by a great Chief. Raven – a bird who loves shiny things – created a plan to acquire the celestial beings. Raven first disguised himself as a spruce needle floating in the water\, and the Chief’s daughter accidentally drank Raven\, becoming pregnant with a son (Raven). Once the boy was born\, the Chief allowed his grandson to play with the bentwood boxes that contained the Moon and Stars – which Raven disguised as a boy released into the dark sky. The Chief tells his grandson he cannot play with the last box containing the Sun\, as he doesn’t want the Sun to be released too. However\, after the young boy sulks his grandfather relents\, allowing his grandson to play with the last box – but only if he doesn’t touch the Sun. As soon as the boy opened the box\, he grabbed the Sun and instantly transformed back into a White Raven with the Sun in his beak. As a quick escape\, Raven flew out the smoke stack\, becoming the black bird we know today. Raven then released the sun for all to share and enjoy. \nComprised of 5 minimalist anamorphic sculptures placed on the Dawson City waterfront along the Yukon River\, the artwork will appear abstract until viewers stand in a specific location where the art pieces align to create an abstracted image of Raven. To celebrate the return of the Sun after the Yukon’s long and dark winters\, Raven will appear to hold the sun in his beak once the Sun’s path returns to hover over the road to the Midnight Dome in mid-January. \nThe sculpture\, produced by Northern Tutchone artist Krystle Silverfox\, pays homage to the story of Raven and the Sun – an important ancestral Yukon First Nations Story. \n\n\n \n\nCBC Interview\n\n\n\n\nKrystle Silverfox is a member of Selkirk First Nation (Wolf Clan)\, and interdisciplinary visual artist. She currently lives and works on the traditional territory of the Ta’an Kwäch’än Council and the Kwanlin Dün First Nation (Whitehorse\, Yukon). Silverfox holds both a BFA in Visual Art (2015); a BA in Gender\, Race\, Sexuality and Social Justice from UBC (2013); also an MFA in Interdisciplinary studies from Simon Fraser University (2019). Inspired by a material- focused practice\, Silverfox uses visual mediums to communicate ideas and tell stories. Silverfox’s work explores concepts of Indigenous futurism\, feminism\, activism\, and de-colonialism. \nSTEPS (Sustainable Thinking & Expressions in Public Spaces) This project is part of the CreateSpace Public Art Residency by STEPS Public Art \, a national program bringing public art to communities across the country. The residency is supported by the Canada Council for the Arts\, Canadian Race Relations Foundation with funding provided by the Government of Canada\, and TD Bank Group through the TD Ready Commitment. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis project wouldn’t have been possible without the generous support of our many partners. We would like to formally thank the Robert Service School for use of their workshop space\, ISL Engineering for their construction consultation advice\, Wildstone Construction Group and Arctech Circle Welding Services for installing the artwork onsite\, and our many funders Canada Council for the Arts\, Canadian Race Relations Foundation\, and TD Ready Commitment.

SUMMARY:ANNE STEVES  |  FLIGHT [CAGE] Opening Reception & Artist Talk + Rug Tufting Demonstration
DESCRIPTION:ANNE STEVES  |  FLIGHT [CAGE]\nOctober 24th – December 7th\, 2024\nODD Gallery\, Dënäkär Zho |  KIAC\nTr’ondëk Hwëch’in territory\, Dawson City\, Yukon \nOPENING RECEPTION & ARTIST TALK + RUG TUFTING DEMO: Thursday\, October 24th\, 7pm – 10pm\nJoin Anne Steves at her exhibition opening Flight [Cage] where she will be discussing her artistic practice and demonstrating how she created her life-size bird rugs with the use of a rug tufting machine. \nWine and snacks provided. \n\nWelsh-Canadian artist Anne Steves invites us to reflect on the universal and intimate dilemmas of life\, loss\, and connection – avian and otherwise – through her exhibition Flight [Cage]. Featuring tufted wool rugs\, photographs\, and her own written reflections\, she transforms images of lifeless birds – her own and those gleaned from friends both near and online – into large\, human-scale artworks. As children\, we are admonished not to touch dead animals. Steves\, however\, seeks connection\, merging her own body with those of the birds through safe and beautiful surrogates\, mirroring their final poses in her photography\, attempting to enter their world. Her work invites gallery visitors to join her in interacting with these tactile proxies\, absorbing the words and images presented and sitting with the feelings and thoughts that emerge.

SUMMARY:Begonia (live concert) at Dënäkär Zho / KIAC Ballroom
DESCRIPTION:Pegged as Canada’s breakout alt-diva\, Begonia has built a legion of fans online and at her legendary live shows. Her critically acclaimed discography includes Lady In Mind EP (2017)\, Fear (2019) and Powder Blue (2023). Among her accolades\, she has two JUNO nominations (2021\, 2024\, Adult Alternative Album of the Year)\, two Polaris Prize nominations\, multiple #1 songs on CBC Radio\, and was named one of NPR’s Artists You Need to Know. \nHer sophomore album\, Powder Blue emerged in early 2023 and confronts themes of sexuality\, self discovery\, acceptance and empowerment. The album was named one of CBC Music’s Best Canadian Albums of 2023 (#7) and was shortlisted for the 2023 Polaris Music Prize. Begonia’s live performance is world class. She has been playing sold out clubs and theatres in North America\, and recently supported indie-all-star\, Leith Ross\, on their European tour. \nHer vocal prowess has the power to absolutely floor an audience\, evidenced at her Polaris Gala performance. Riding a wave of momentum with a record number of people discovering Powder Blue\, Begonia’s newest EP\, Open Swim\, was released in July 2024 via Birthday Cake Records. Co-written and produced by Alexa Dirks and Marcus Paquin (The National\, The Weather Station\, Arcade Fire) along with contributions from her frequent collaborators and producer duo\, deadmen\, the EP is a project that “encompasses the feeling of working through conflict and the elation that can surface when you’re honest with others and ultimately yourself. \n“With a rich sound and unshakeable confidence\, Canadian-born Begonia is a force to be reckoned with.” – Wonderland Magazine (UK)\n—\nDoors open – 7:30 / Music – 8:00\n$27 General / $25 KIAC Members / $18 Youth / Student / Accessible\n$30 at the door \nTickets on sale here! \nTo volunteer\, click here! \n–\nThank you to our funders:\nGovernment of Canada\nYukon Government

SUMMARY:Muster Point Live Concert
DESCRIPTION:Co-Presented by Jazz Yukon\nAdmission by donation (at the door)\nDoors open – 7:30 / Music – 8:00\nFeaturing a short opening set by David Johnston III \nMuster Point is Yukon’s contemporary instrumental collective. The rotating lineup brings together artists with backgrounds in jazz\, classical\, rock\, hip hop\, and things in between. Featuring some of Whitehorse’s finest musicians\, Muster Point plays original music that blends and extends genres into sweeping journeys of groove. \n\n\nThe band grew out of a shared dream that live music is so much more than what can be rehearsed. Muster Point’s founding members bonded through Whitehorse’s professional breakdance scene; creating fully improvised music while reacting in realtime to the freestyle dance in front of them. These sacred hip-hop rituals tuned their minds to a different frequency and set the creative tone for Muster Point. Today\, the collective has grown to about ten artists\, with a core group of five that perform regularly. Muster Point are gearing up for the recording of an album\, and the return of their super fun\, highly anticipated weekly series at Baked Café\, this time with new guest artists and new original music. \nFeaturing: \nLogan Bennett (piano/synth/trumpet)\nWyatt Best (guitar)\nJake Paleczny (bass clarinet)\nRagn Royle (bass)\nMichel Vallières (percussion)\n\nGalen Pelley (drums) \nhttps://www.instagram.com/musterpoint_band/

SUMMARY:Cult Cinema at the Eldorado
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a rejuvenation of our winter cult cinema screenings in the Sluice Box Lounge at the Eldorado Hotel. \nSit back\, have a beveridge and enjoy some weirdness from the other side of cinema! \n7:30 pm. \n \nOur first film is HAUSU (House) \n\n\nNobuhiko Ôbayashi\n\nJapan | 1977 | 88m | Japanese \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBuckle up and be warned: there is and has never been anything quite like Nobuhiko Obayashi’s eye-popping\, jaw-dropping\, and senses-shattering exercise in unfettered cinematic delirium. Offended by her father’s imminent remarriage following her mother’s death\, teenage Gorgeous invites her six schoolmates (musical Melody\, gourmand Mac\, egghead Prof\, daydreaming Fantasy\, demure Sweet\, and high-kicking Kung Fu) to accompany her to her aunt’s country house for the weekend. Once ensconced in the mist-shrouded manor\, the girls find themselves plunged into a seething cauldron of supernatural shenanigans as it is revealed that the possessed dwelling has a taste (literally) for young flesh. Unleashing a perfect storm of self-consciously chintzy special effects\, Hausu takes excess to enthralling extremes.\n\n

SUMMARY:Drawlidays V
DESCRIPTION:IT’S BAAAAAAACK \nOriginally created by Aubyn O’Grady and now organized by KIAC\, Drawlidays V is a secret santa portrait exchange. By way of drawing names\, you’ll be assigned someone in Dawson to *secretly*  make a portrait of by Friday\, December 6th.  At the same time somebody will be secretly making a portrait of you. You will have one month to produce your portrait! \nThe Drawlidays event has been donated to KIAC as a fundraiser! When you sign up\, you’re not only committing to producing a portrait\, but also to making a donation to KIAC on behalf of the person you are drawing. Suggested Drawlidays donation is $5 – $25.  \nOn the eve of Thursday\, December 12th portraits will be hung and on display in the ODD Gallery.  Portraits are for keepsies\, and this year we’d like to keep them on display for ONE WEEK ONLY. This means on December 20th\, 2024\, you’ll walk away with a new rendering of yourself to hang proudly above your mantle.  \n  \nRULES \nPortraits in this game are typically limited to the second dimension: so\, flat (ish)\, drawings\, paintings\, collages\, on paper\, etc. \nDrawlidays V is limited to those of us in Dawson. We cannot accept portraits by mail! If you are leaving town before December 6th you must ensure your portrait has been delivered. There is no bigger bummer than not finding your portrait among the others.  \n  \nDONATE HERE: https://square.link/u/VzVbbjJp \nDRAW TAKES PLACE: Tuesday\, November 5th  \nARTISTS NOTIFIED OF PORTRAIT SUBJECT: Tuesday\, November 5th \nDEADLINE FOR PORTRAIT DROP OFF: Friday\, December 6th @ 2pm  \nPORTRAIT REVEAL EXHIBITION OPENING: Evening of Thursday\, December 12th\, ODD Gallery open until December 20th \nLIMITED TO 100 people \nHappy Drawlidays\, Ya’ll!
