New Photography Exhibit Opens Nov. 5 – Ben Huff’s Atomic Island
by LAM Webmaster on October 28th, 2021 in Alaska State Museum, Events, Museums | Comments
For Immediate Release
October 28, 2021
Atomic Island, Ben Huff Solo Exhibit
November 5, 2021-January 29, 2022
The Alaska State Museum presents photographer Ben Huff’s new work, Atomic Island, a portrait of the abandoned WWII and Cold War Naval outpost on the Aleutian Island of Adak. The island, instrumental in the disruption of a mainland advance during WWII, and later a nuclear submarine surveillance post, was abandoned by the Navy in 1997. At its height, the island housed over 6,000 people; today fewer than 100 call Adak home full-time. Huff uses his own large-format color photographs, mixed with archival images from the Alaska State Library, to show the past and present of a forgotten island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
The exhibition opens Friday, November 5 at 4:00 pm. At 6:00 pm in the APK lecture hall, Huff will give a talk about his travels to Adak and his process of making photographs. The lecture will be recorded for later broadcast and available online courtesy of KTOO 360TV, at ktoo.org/show/at-the-apk/. To prevent or slow the spread of COVID-19, the Alaska State Library, Archives, and Museum at the APK in Juneau will have limited capacity in the galleries as well as limited seating in the lecture hall.
Huff will provide in-person exhibition walk-throughs throughout the duration of his exhibit, including:
Friday, November 19 at noon
Saturday, December 11 at noon
Saturday, January 29 at noon (last day to see the exhibit)
Ben Huff is one of six artists selected for the Alaska State Museum 2020-2023 Solo Artist Exhibition Series, along with artists Alison Bremner Naxshageit, Sonya Kelliher-Combs, Gail Priday, Jannah Sexton-Atkins, and Mitch Watley.

Featuring the Yées Ku.oo dance group: Alfie Price, David Lang, Disney Williams, Heather Evoy, Nancy C. Barnes, and Walter A. Soboleff Jr.

Special thanks to Nancy Kovalic and Ray Watkins for giving permission for their robes to be included and to Lily Hope for organizing this event.
