ODD GALLERY
The ODD Gallery is a contemporary exhibition space housed in KIAC. The ODD Gallery’s year-round programming features solo and group exhibitions (selected and curated by committee) by regional, national and international visual artists, as well as the annual thematic project, The Natural & The Manufactured. The gallery also presents a wide array of outreach programming including artist talks, openings, lectures, screenings, youth programs and other special events. Gallery programming fosters professionalism and appreciation of regional visual arts practice and provides the community with exposure and access to a diverse range of national and international contemporary visual arts practices and theories.
The Natural & The Manufactured project re-examines the various cultural and economic values imposed on the environment, while exploring alternative political, social, economic and aesthetic strategies towards a re-interpretation of landscape and social infrastructure. The Gallery seeks proposals from visual artists working in all media for this yearly thematic project. Two participants will be selected for exhibition-creation residencies leading to one gallery-based and one outdoor installation. New project ideas are encouraged. Applications to the N&M will be considered for 6-week residencies culminating in site-specific exhibitions opening August 11, 2016.
