DUOS | Curated by j.Reto

Yulia Kalagaeva

DUOS is an experiment in collaboration between local artists. Each painting is the result of two artists working independently on different areas of the piece, then concealing the work and passing it onto the other artist. Neither artist knows what the completed piece looks like.  

The works are hung fully wrapped and will be taken off the walls and torn open at 6pm opening night.  

DUOS is also an experimental show with viewer participation. The paintings are meant to be held, passed around and rehung in any order. The randomness and spontaneity are aspects of the show.  

In all, DUOS is an attempt to bring artists and audiences together, and to break down the divide between art and observer.  

DUOS is curated by j.Reto, a founding member of CIRCLE5 art group.

Drawn North: Portraits in Texture | Suzanne Yeremyan

Drawn North: Portraits in Texture | Suzanne Yeremyan

Drawn North: Portraits in Texture features new work by abstract visual artist Suzanne Yeremyan, developed following a winter 2025 artist residency with Alaska State Parks. Her practice centers on experimental landscape portraiture, grounded in the textures, patterns, and movements found within a natural environment. Based in Rhode Island, Yeremyan spent several weeks in various remote regions of Southcentral Alaska. Staying in public-use dry cabins, daylight was spent outdoors on foot, gathering visual information to later highlight and work from upon her return to the East Coast.

This exhibition presents the final renderings of the notes and impressions gathered in and around Lowell Point, Eklutna Lake, and Turnagain Arm.

Conversations|Listening | Deborah Hansen

The topics in the show are common to human experience: Dreaming, Sorrow, Power and Justice, Life and Death. I came to think of them not just as topics of conversation, but concepts which permeate art, writing, and religion. I use an extinct language, fairy tales, and ideas I see in the news, as well as a retelling of Christ’s story, as a vehicle for conversing and listening to what is happening to us. Is the concept of Justice no longer a subject of conversation? Do we talk about Power and its use? Do we listen to our dreams? Is Christ an immigrant? Does it matter? Can we talk about it?

[UN]STUCK | ADDIE STUDEBAKER

September 9, 2025 Karinna Gomez

AUGUST - OCTOBER 2025
IGCA ANNEX
[UN]STUCK | ADDIE STUDEBAKER

[UN]STUCK : an interactive installation for all ages. You are invited to the IGCA annex to enjoy and co-create an immersive community space & sensorial experience of line, color, texture. Over the next two months visitors will fill two annex walls with tape: a ubiquitous material stuck in the gray area of function vs. form. Is it THE most toss-able tool of our times, here to facilitate packaging, transporting, and creating with other mediums…or is it the medium itself?  

Come get stuck/unstuck/restuck; zone out in creative flow, sensorial exploration, and a flood of sunlit color. Watch the space evolve through early October, as the light changes with the season and the white walls gradually fill with color and pattern.

A variety of painters, masking, and washi tapes, and tools, are at your disposal during Annex open hours (TBA) and during First Fridays, with tape donations highly encouraged!  Kid-friendly - lots of low-lying wall space.

Addie Studebaker, the artist behind [UN]STUCK, lives and works in the Mat-Su valley and will be on-hand this First Friday to introduce the installation.

Mt. Denali by j.Reto | IGCA Annex

IGCA ANNEX
Mt. Denali by j.Reto

“Mt. Denali by j.Reto” was originally created while I was an artist-in-residence at Cyrano’s Theatre Company in 2024. The fabric ‘painting’ was inspired by the iconic Sydney Laurence piece at the Anchorage Museum. I wanted to replicate the work using humble materials such as remnants, rags and thrift store clothing, in contrast to the majesty of the subject.

Originally intended as an ephemera piece, I have reworked the surface for this Annex exhibition and will rework it for future showings in 2026. Accompanying the work is a Mt. Denali diptych made especially for this show.

j.Reto is a multi-disciplinary artist and co-founder of CIRCLE5, an Anchorage based art group.

Last five years in the Chugach | Francesca Singleton

This collection of paintings is a visual journal and journey through my last five years in Alaska. Here, I selected scenes and macros that portray the Chugach mountains and their nature, as I experience them in my very frequent outings. It is an attempt to meditate on the uncommon beauty that I see every day, to let the eye and the mind linger in nature, dwelling in the outdoors even while indoors.

Churning Mother | Brianna Allen

August 19, 2025 Karinna Gomez

AUGUST 2025
NORTH GALLERY
Churning Mother | Brianna Allen

“Churning Mother” explores the depth and agitation experienced in early motherhood and reflects on what emerges thereafter. The exhibit includes paintings, installation and literary work.

“Mother Of…” portraits are paintings of mothers with their hands full and their own identities changed forevermore. They are surrounded by their own early mothering ethos; preserved bouquets, faded stuffies, crystals, band aides and lollypops. This ongoing series of portraits invoke a kind of mothercode sentiment that feels safe when together.

Other paintings reflect a personal time of overload and burnout. These are a vulnerable offering for those who may have felt it too.

My published book, The Momologue Collective: An Anthology by Self-Identifying Mothers. Volume I, archives my ongoing social art practice of sharing the vulnerable depths of motherhood. The book features 100 anonymous stories which have inspired and continue to inspire my artwork and treasured relationships.

Antithesis of Demure | Isabell Daniel and Cynthia Morelli

This August Isabell Daniel's and Cynthia Morelli’s sculptures will be on display in an exhibit titled Antithesis of Demure at the International Gallery of Contemporary Art in Anchorage, Alaska. That's us in the picture, dancing as teacups and saucers on a summer night in Atlanta, Georgia in 1985. With this two person exhibition, we celebrate a deep and enduring friendship, born from and sustained through a shared history with clay. Our ongoing project, in which we shake up our own figure-based abstract sculpture through collaborative studio time, materials and place exchange, channels our heartfelt trust and bold playfulness inspired by each other. This is an intentional exchange based on the foundation of clay that began our forty-plus year friendship at New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University in the 1980’s.

Fool's Paradise | Sally Carr

When you look at the past, the lost, what do you see?

Connection, it is a breath. It is a slowness.

A crab apple tree outside my window seemed to have more knowledge than I ever could dream to hold. Seemed to possess secrets of the world in a cyclical and literal sense. I yearned for its awareness of silence. It merely asked a few things of me, but I wasn’t aware enough to listen. I admired, appreciated, loved, and yet still didn’t hear the requests.

Growing complacent from its fruit, a child is one that takes without considering how to repay. How many times must this happen before you recognize your own imprecision.

Can one continue to maintain care in retrospect, or does it reshape into something more selfish. A search for silence, or maybe forgiveness. An empty gesture.

Fun on the Move | Judith Hoersting

“Fun on the Move” was inspired by my past two years of travel. Slinkie, Cheerios, Dots, copper foil and a sketch book were my studio. They are so portable!

The movement of dance (The Stroll from the Fifties) and mechanical toys (Hey Jude music box) are another kind of motion I enjoy. The vibrant color and speedy growth of wheat grass, delights my senses, too. It summons me to pause and appreciate the wonder of chlorophyll, the basis of life.

Invasive Flora, Intricate Prints | Rachel Singel

Invasive Flora, Intricate Prints | Rachel Singel

My work is a response to the intricacies and depth of natural forms Lines are the building blocks of my imagery. Lines develop into curves, from curves to circles, and then to fields. As each line extends outward, the form begins to resemble how it occurs in nature: preconditioned, though subject to the elements around it. 

Beyond bringing attention to the immense complexity of the natural world, one of my primary goals as an artist is to raise environmental consciousness. I print on handmade papers made from recycled materials such as old cotton shirts and linen sheets, as well as plant fibers, especially those of invasive plants. Conceptually, the union of process and subject embodies an important metaphor for my views. I hope that making sheets by hand not only can help the environment, but also can promote sustainability. 

Rachel Singel is an Associate Professor at the University of Louisville. Rachel grew up on a small farm in Charlottesville, Virginia. She received a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Virginia in 2009 and a Master of Fine Arts in Printmaking from the University of Iowa in 2013. Rachel has participated in residencies at the Penland School of Crafts, the Venice Printmaking Studio, Internazionale di Grafica Venezia, Art Print Residence in Barcelona, Spain, Wharepuke Print Studios in New Zealand, Proyecto'ace, an Artist-in-Residence Program in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and AGA Lab in the Netherlands. She has studied non-toxic printmaking at the Grafisk Eksperimentarium studio in Andalusia and recently traveled to Japan to research papermaking with invasive plants. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally and represented in private collections and public institutions.

4and2is6: Obsessions | Yulia Kalagaeva and Joshua Demain

4and2is6 is an ongoing, multifaceted collaboration between Yulia Kalagaeva and Joshua Demain. “Obsessions” encompasses our untamable joie de vivre. This collaborative show is the manifestation of the passionate and inspired experiences we share. From the chaos of life to the most vulnerable and intimate moments, our obsession is to reflect upon and record these experiences through artistic expressions. While we continue to explore a variety of different and often mixed mediums, through this collaboration we discovered that drawing has been the heart of our fervent process since we met in the late nineties.

The stubborn blindness of optimistic philosophers | Graham Dane

JUNE 2025

The stubborn blindness of optimistic philosophers | Graham Dane

Painting is a very human activity that can be traced back potentially tens of thousands of years; it’s an ancient activity. In an increasingly tech-orientated world, a world of cell phones, Instagram, of instant gratification and cheap mass production, of being drowned out by the cacophony of social media, what could be more humanizing than looking at art and producing something new, unique, that requires quietude, an intellectual and emotional foundation and physical effort beyond using just your thumb and index finger.

The way I work – of small-scale studies, combining elements from one or several into larger compositions, then allowing the picture to develop is similar to the way jazz and blues musicians improvise. The finished piece is always a surprise.

All abstraction is open to interpretation which is one of its aspects that I find appealing and I rarely go into detailed explanations about meanings of titles or the literary references. What I will say is that the show title references the overly optimistic Doctor Pangloss, the tutor from Voltaite’s Candide. Make of that what you wish.

Our Better Angels | Ted Kincaid

When we think of political art we tend to think of violent and accusing images drawing attention to the double standards and faults of humanity.  Our Better Angels is a show bent on the other half of that argument, the "now what" side of change.  Ted Kincaid uses his graffiti-meets-indy comic art style to bring legends out of reality and places them on a pedestal.  Better Angels continues on a 2011 body of work as he tries to modernize both the people included but also the style into a more vibrant and punchy multi-media approach.

Boreal Echoes

April 22, 2025 Karinna Gomez

APRIL 2025
Boreal Echoes | In a Time of Change (ITOC) collaborative arts-humanities-science exhibit

Boreal Echoes is a touring exhibit produced by the Alaska-based collaborative environmental arts-humanities-science program known as "In a Time of Change (ITOC)". Boreal Echoes is the result of three years of learning, conversation, and experimentation by a cohort of artists who were inspired and informed by the boreal forest, the scientists who study it, and each other. Artists built relationships to the boreal biome and one another through outdoor field trips, scientific presentations, artist craft talks, and monthly group activities. The cohort then created original artworks sharing their collaborative and individual investigations, inspirations, and care about the boreal biome. Boreal Echoes is directed by Mary Beth Leigh and includes artwork by Susan Campbell, Alyssa Enriquez, Nancy Hausle-Johnson, Mary Bee Kaufman, Margo Klass, Jennifer Moss, Ree Nancarrow, Oralee Nudson, Teresa Shannon, Todd Sherman, Marianne Stolz, Connie Stricks, and Sara Tabbert.

The "Boreal Echoes" exhibition was produced by the "In a Time of Change" program with support from the National Science Foundation through the Bonanza Creek Long-Term Ecological Research Program, the USDA Forest Service, the University of Alaska Fairbanks, and the Rasmuson Foundation through the Harper Arts Touring Fund administered by the Alaska State Council on the Arts State Council on the Arts, with in-kind support from IGCA and other partners.

Founded in 2007 by the Bonanza Creek Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) in Fairbanks, Alaska, the In a Time of Change (ITOC) program facilitates and produces collaborative arts-humanities-science exhibits and events focused on ecological themes important to Alaska. ITOC recognizes that cross-disciplinary interactions between artists, humanities scholars, and scientists can foster community engagement with the natural world and build collaborative capacity, helping society to address complex environmental problems. ITOC emerged within the Bonanza Creek Long-Term Ecological Research program in Interior Alaska and is funded by the National Science Foundation, the USDA Forest Service, and private contributors, with in-kind support from the University of Alaska Fairbanks, Fairbanks Arts Association, and other partners. UAF professor Mary Beth Leigh directs ITOC in collaboration with ITOC researcher and evaluator Lissy Goralnik (Michigan State University). ITOC is part of a growing network of place-based, environmental arts-humanities-science programs across the U.S. and around the world.

Reciprocity

March 26, 2025 Karinna Gomez

MARCH 2025
Reciprocity | Collaboration between Emily Longbrake, Christine Sundly & Momentum Dance Collective

In a world where we are all connected, the exchanges and cooperation we have with one another through time are a critical piece of the human experience. Reciprocity is a month-long performance and visual art installation that brings together work from Emily Longbrake, Christine Sundly and Momentum Dance Collective. The work explores the relationships between time, memory and the dualities that are constant in all phases of life.

During the gallery's regular hours, the community was invited to experience the art installations and video projection. There were also four live dance performances by Momentum Dance Collective.

About the artists

Emily Longbrake is a freelance artist from Anchorage, Alaska, blends craft and technology across various media. Her art is inspired by the patterns, connections, and constant change found in nature, particularly the mountains and plants surrounding her home.

Of the Menominee Nation, Christine Sundly is an Alaskan-based artist with an emphasis on creating abstract art. She has an absolute love of color and patterns as shown in experimenting both digitally and in mixed media. Through both education and working experience, Christine maintains strong bones in pushing her limits and asking the big “why” questions when creating.

The Egg Series, a Collection of Related Images | Susan Johnson

The Egg Series, a Collection of Related Images | Susan Johnson

This project came into my life while adapting to sudden retirement and trying to deal with the isolation of my first long Winter in Kasilof. When it’s well below zero, it is way too cold to bring a camera outside. Despite that brutal cold, every day my Nine chickens were producing beautiful multicolored Eggs. They were not my usual subjects, and shooting indoors was a real change for me. I’d rather capture big dreamy landscapes outdoors, but this project proved to be a perfect way to keep shooting throughout the Winter.

After the editing and proofing were done, and when the prints were laid out on the table, I began to see how well the images related to each other. The layouts, shapes and colors formed into triptychs fairly naturally, and a concept was created out of chaos. These images were meant to stand alone, but since they all worked so well together, new visual relationships were created between the individual pieces, and the parts became a whole.

Staged | Response

Staged is an immersive still life installed in the Annex gallery next door. Over the past several months the community has been invited to participate in this environment, exploring the process of making as a performance - artists coming and going within the Annex, visible to passing-by viewers. Staged | Response is a collection of the aftermath, work made within and from the installation highlighting how different artists respond to a single space. This exhibit showcases a snapshot of our community's perspectives and how still life fits within contemporary art.

Perusing Paris | Charles Mason

Perusing Paris | Charles Mason

This exhibition of street photography in Paris was made in late 2022, when my wife and I traveled there for ten days. Lisa is a walker, and I am a street photographer. This happy coincidence of our interests led us to walk ten miles a day for each of the eight days we were there. That’s eighty miles of city streets and sidewalks and museums and other public places that I was able, Leica camera in hand, to observe and photograph. All in arguably the most walkable and photographable city in the world. It was sheer photographic joy, and the work here is the result.
