EXHIBITS
THE BIG ONE: EARTHQUAKES IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST
February 2 through March 14, 2010, Pratt Museum Special Exhibits Gallery
This exhibit travels to the Pratt from the Burke Museum and answers key questions pertinent to life in the Pacific Northwest: Why are earthquakes inevitable here? What hazards do they present? What can we do to prepare?
BACKYARD, ALASKA
Opening Reception Friday March 19 from 5-7pm, artists’ talk at 6pm then remains on exhibit through May 16, 2010, Pratt Museum Special Exhibits Gallery
Michael Walsh and Asia Freeman’s exhibit explores stories, truths, myths, feats and failures memorialized in our backyards. Since pioneering days, we Alaskans have been known to hoard a lot of stuff. Our backyards don’t conceal as much as they reveal shared experiences and dilapidated dreams. Working with found objects, moving images and sound, collaborating multi-media artists reveal down-home Alaskan experiences for Backyard, Alaska.
KACHEMAK BAY: AN EXPLORATION OF PEOPLE AND PLACE
Pratt Museum permanent exhibit
This innovative exhibit is a complete redesign of the Pratt's main galleries, with Phase I completed in 2004. Community-based videos, photo essays, computer interactives, and visitor-controlled remote video technology take visitors beyond the museum walls to historic and contemporary life around Kachemak Bay, providing an intimate means of understanding people and place.
