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. She uses traditional craft-based techniques to create contemporary artworks and installations. In 2011 she co-founded the artist collective Mere Phantoms\, along with Atelier Make\, a ceramics studio in Montreal. She completed her BFA at Emily Carr University (2002) and an MA (Media Studies) at Concordia University 2012. She has exhibited in Canada and internationally including the Istanbul Biennial (2013)\, Brandts Museum (Denmark\, 2015)\, Grunt Gallery (2017)\, Hamilton Art Inc\, and Surrey Art Gallery (2022).

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:ARTIST TALK - Beyond the Algorithm: Art\, Ethics\, and AI with Cat Bluemke
DESCRIPTION:How can artists harness artificial intelligence as a meaningful tool rather than a threat? Join artist and educator Cat Bluemke for an engaging talk exploring her evolving practice at the intersection of emerging technologies\, game design\, and critical art-making. Drawing from years of boundary-pushing work\, Bluemke will share her journey and speak directly to the promises and perils of AI in creative spaces. \nThrough personal insight and practical examples\, this talk explores how AI can support artistic autonomy\, community engagement\, and collective authorship—without erasing the ethics of intellectual labor. Aimed at artists\, technologists\, and skeptics alike\, the conversation will also address pressing concerns around copyright\, consent\, and the commercialization of generative tools. \nThe session includes a 30-minute presentation of Bluemke’s work\, a 15-minute reflection on AI as a creative medium\, and a 20-30-minute open Q&A where attendees are encouraged to ask hard questions and challenge assumptions.

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.

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.
