A review panel organized by the Anchorage Museum recently has selected five Alaska artists to present exhibitions at the museum between 2017 and 2019. They include: Alison Bremner (Yakutat), Thomas Chung (Anchorage) Alanna DeRocchi (Anchorage), Elizabeth Irving (Fairbanks) and Amy Meissner (Anchorage).
Meissner works in textiles, creating small and large-scale works, often from vintage materials. Bremner incorporates oral history, ancient mythology, Tlingit design and present-day imagery in her work. Irving works in painting — both oil and acrylic. DeRocchi’s ceramic sculptures reflect her interest in animals and nature. Chung works in a variety of media ranging from performance to large print photography, installation, sculpture, painting and drawing.
In addition to the upcoming solo exhibitions, the Anchorage Museum is working with artists from around the world to participate in residencies and programs — through installation, performance, research and other activities.
