Dan Brown Hozjan WALL-TENT AND CANVAS .
24/7, Friday - Sunday, Main Riverside Festival Grounds
This piece was concieved during long days hiking through the wild spaces
of the Yukon Territory and dreamt of during nights spent in canvas tents. It
is a tribute to the vibrant light and life of the summertime and was painted
in a small cabin on Haida Gwaii. Dan Brown first arrived in Dawson eight
years ago as a student of the Yukon School of Visual Arts and subsequently
fell in love with the community and has been here ever since.
Basia Hinton BLACKHOLE LOVE SONG IN THE KEY OF DAWSON.
24/7, Friday - Sunday, SOVA, Front Deck
Step inside a 3-D grid-map representation of a black hole made entirely
from recycled materials! This large sculptural piece explores sound and
light waves, intimacy, the cosmos, time, patterns in nature, and desire. The
piece playfully invites viewers to pause and experience a moment of self
reflection and connect with their environment. Basia has been loving the
north and all its magic for the last five years, spending time making art,
teaching, drumming, and coordinating youth and arts programs.
