The MTS Gallery First Friday After Hours Salon, OPEN/CLOSE
hosts another in its series of performance events.
This 1st Friday we present You See, a unique collaboration of ideas,
film, dance and music from local Alaskan artists.
Eight artists collaborated on this multimedia performance. It consists of
five short films featuring the dancers of Momentum Dance Collective,
filming and editing by Dan Lee and an original score composed and
produced by Nick Petumenos and Ivan Night.
The films will be presented simultaneously as guests weave their way
through the gallery space, experiencing five different perspectives of
the same night.
The films collage together a story of five individuals who experience
the consequences of their entanglement with each other.
