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: Friday\, 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.

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: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.

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: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. 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.
