“Reciprocity,” is an immersive performance and visual art installation that explores the relationships between time, memory and the dualities of life. The exhibit opened on March 7, as part of downtown Anchorage’s monthly First Friday art walk. Throughout the evening, attendees explored the visual art installations and experienced rotating live dance performances at scheduled times. The installation remains open for public viewing during regular gallery hours until March 28, with additional performance dates on March 21 and 22.
