Alaska Native Artists Debut with ‘Dry Ice’ Exhibit in NYC
Alaska’s landscape is on full display this winter season at the Alaska House in New York City (AHNY).
AHNY offers a wide range of programs, including art exhibitions, concerts, film screenings, lectures and symposia that shed light on the vitality of the Alaska Native peoples. To celebrate its one-year anniversary this fall, AHNY is presenting a series of exciting events, exhibitions, films and forums to explore topics ranging from the making of Alaska Native art to the state of the State post-Palin. –Alaakahouseny.org
The launch of a new contemporary display of Alaska Native Artists and landscape called ‘Dry Ice’ will be on December 10. This exhibit will feature nine Alaska Native artists: Brian Adams, Susie Bevins-Ericsen, Perry Eaton, Nicholas Galanin, Anna Hoover, Sonya Kelliher-Combs, Erica Lord, Da-ka-xeen Mehner, and Larry McNeil.
Following on the heels of the new Palin book, Going Rogue, this new exhibit is sure to provide a more in-depth view of the changing landscape.
Dry Ice features several explorations of art from the traditional to the innovative, such as mask making to skin sewing, as well as photography. It definitely inspires you to want to travel to the destinations of each of the featured pieces. The curator is Julie Decker, Ph.D. of Anchorage, Alaska.
Doors open at 6:30 pm on the 10th and if you’d like to purchase your tickets you can visit the official site of the Alaska House.
So LUXies, what do you think of this artistic display of our 49th state?
