AntiFreeze: Dance Among Installations

AntiFREEZE, a music, dance and video performance featuring Yngvil vatn Guttu. The original idea was that this would take place among the installations, but now it can highlight the remains. The performance will be brief – about 20 minutes. Help us say goodbye to the installations.

AntiFREEZE will take place on the Park Strip near 10th Avenue and H Streets. 6:00 – 6:20 p.m. Appropriate for all ages.

There will be receptions following at the International Gallery (6:30) and the Alaska Native Arts Foundation (7:00).
