FEBRUARY AT THE APK

\n\nThe Alaska State Museum is open with FREE admission
Friday, Feb 7th, from 4:00 - 7:30 pm
FEBRUARY 7TH EXHIBIT OPENING
Tamara Wilson: SLINKIES AND THE WINDOW FRAME
Juneau – The Alaska State Museum is pleased to announce Slinkies and the Window Frame, an exhibition by Tamara Wilson featuring studio work and site-specific installation created out of a variety of ingredients including remnant tile, truck bed liner, imitation bubble gum, oak, felt, and expanding foam. The exhibition desires to understand the domestic by pretending and discovering who and what occupies that space. The objects and creatures are created from a place of nostalgia, longing, and cosmic curiosities.
\n\nWilson is a multimedia artist from and working in Fairbanks, Alaska. She creates artwork influenced by daily life in the beautiful ancestral lands of the Dena'ina people of the lower Tanana River where she has built her home and studio. After receiving a Master of Fine Arts from the University of New Mexico and attending a residency in Estonia, Wilson returned home to Alaska.

Plants are a wonderful way to bring joy into our homes during the dark months of winter. A Forever Plant can withstand the challenges of a dry cabin and or those that lack the green thumb to keep traditional house plants alive. From cactus to monstera: with the use of felt fabric, sewing, a little hot glue, a repurposed container, and your imagination, if you can cut it out we can grow your Forever Plant. Join Fairbanks multimedia artist Tamara Wilson and bring your Forever Plant to life in this workshop recommended for students 10-19.

| \n Sharing the World I Know is a new solo exhibition featuring quilt works by Fairbanks art quilter Ree Nancarrow. The exhibit runs through March 15, 2025. \n\nFor 50 years, Nancarrow watched a small tundra pond outside her window called Deneki Lakes. She tracked the shifting habitat at the lake as the water level dropped over time. Fewer species live there now. \n\nIn 2010, Nancarrow started working with scientists through a program called In a Time of Change, which supports collaboration across the environmental arts, humanities, and sciences in Alaska. She explains how this collaboration informed her work: “The knowledge and deeper understanding of the natural world gained from working with these scientists has changed how I see the world, and how I describe it visually. That knowledge and concern for the world I live in led me to tell stories of climate change such as wildland fire, permafrost melt, development of greenhouse gases, bark beetle infestations, and creation of methane bubbles.” \n\nShe makes her quilts with custom-printed fabric. The fabric features images and designs she has collected and created over her art career. She sews them together and quilts each piece with intricate designs, enhancing their rich imagery and detail. | \n
Lou Logan: SKIN-ON-FRAME\nQAYAQ CONSTRUCTION
| \n Qayaq Update The qayaq progress has been slow but steady. Each piece\nrequires research. Traditionally, builders used an anthropometric measuring\nsystem. This means using your own measurements as a reference. For example, the\ngunwales are typically 2½ armspans long. This is not a hard rule, as there are\nvariations, but it can act as a guide. I don't know all of the measurements. For\nsuch pieces I'll study as many qayyat (plural for qayaq) as I can find and make\nan average. \n\n\n\nThe keelson is now finished. The ribs will be next. These\nwill be steam bent into shape. Then the long, skinny stringers are tied to the\nribs. After that the deck stringers and cockpit are installed which completes\nthe frame. note: the keelson is a reinforcing structural member that lays on top of the keel \n | \n

Kawa.e'e was the clan leader of an Auk village on Admiralty Island when he heard of George Pilz's offer of \"100 Hudson Bay blankets and work for the tribe\" for each commercial gold discovery. Kawa.e'e responded by bringing Pilz specimens of quartz, rich with gold, galena (lead ore), and stibnite (antimony ore). No one knows the source of his samples but Juneau and Harris staked a claim on Kowee Creek on Douglas Island. Kaw.e'e later lived in Juneau. He was a respected member of the community and served as a policeman during the days of Navy rule. He is pictured here in his policeman's uniform wearing a star. He died Feb 27, 1892 and is buried in the Juneau Cemetery.
