As a counterpoint to the site-specific installations in the Midnight Sun Camera Obscura Festival, the ODD Gallery presents The World Inside, a group exhibition that investigates the intertwined subjects of landscape and viewership, perceptual mediation and the urgencies of our material condition. The World Inside illuminates the ways in which our visual technologies, including the eye itself, have worked to define and undermine our impressions of the real, our sense of self and community. The images and objects in this exhibition draw connections between Drop-inwhat we see, Painting how we see, and the enduring cultural effects of our empires of sight. : Saturdays, 1-4 p.m., $5 drop-in in the KIAC Classroom (enter through the back door).

Our Northern Collection is now full to the brim (we plan to expand the shelf space soon), thanks to several dozen recently donated books about the arctic and northern territories from an anonymous giver. A bequest from another donor has also allowed us to add several new books on self-sustainability. In addition, we have recently expanded our stacks of Twentieth Century classics with the addition of several volumes of books by Kurt Vonnegut, Herman Hesse, Dashiell Hammett, and Salman Rushdie.
