Noelle K. Tan
The America Project: utopia
Part 1 of an ambitious black and white photography project by this
CalArts graduate including 36 images documenting road trips taken
by the artist across the country over the past several years. Images
capture cultural markers of American history such as the Biosphere in
Oracle, Arizona, Ponce de Leon's Fountain of Youth in St. Augustine,
Florida, the duct tape "x" marking the spot of Kennedy's
assassination at Dealey Plaza in Dallas, TX. "utopia", the exhibition,
documents the highest and lowest of the collective American dream.
Essay by Larissa Leclair. Tan's work is in many public and private

collections including the Hirshhorn Museum & Sculpture Garden, the
Corcoran Gallery of Art, and the Albright-Knox Gallery.
Remote
A contemporary photography exhibition of four cutting-edge women

photographers. Featuring Lisa K. Blatt (San Francisco, CA), Lely
Constantinople (Washington, DC), Kate MacDonnell (Washington,
DC), and E. Brady Robinson (Washington, DC & Orlando, FL),
"Remote" refers to the desolate far reaches of the mind and the land
- places hard to reach but rich with reward when found and
discovered. Images of Antartica, compliment hypnotic ethereal
images of the sun and sky. Mysterious pictures of Paris, and romantic
images of Mexico connect and thread the desolation of the desert and
the rich colors of the evening sky. Don't miss this gorgeous show!

Candlelight Veneration
Eric Hibit | Picture Cohesion

Friday, October 29, 6:00-7:00 p.m.
Curator's Office
1515 14th Street NW
Suite 201
Washington, DC 20005
(202) 387-1008
Curator's Office becomes a chapel aglow once again next Friday evening as we "venerate the
elements" of Eric Hibit's "Picture Cohesion" exhibition by candlelight. Sacred autumnal wine will
be served.
Picture Cohesion explores how the urban environment and consumerism affect the process of
making art. Using bold visual contrasts of color and texture, the artist presents a collection of
made and found objects that are in conversation with each other. With a gifted eye for collecting
and a deft hand at making, Hibit fashions a truly unique visual experience that could be
categorized as a breed of NEW AMERICAN FOLK BAROQUE. The exhibition engages in raw, camp,
kitschy, fruity aesthetics.
The artist's impulse to embellish the work speaks to many artistic traditions that tend towards
pulsating, all-over activity. Medieval reliquaries, art of the Mexican Baroque, Hindu Temples, and
certain forms of obsessive folk art demonstrate a similar impulse to activate an object with
ornamentation. Such pre-modernist comparisons point to the artist's sensibility.
The artist's preoccupation with boundaries is evident In this exhibition, boundaries between areas
of culture are played with, and notions of good/bad taste and high/low class are conflated. Such
instincts for cultural signs are played against an artistic practice that emphasizes process, craft,
and the hand-made qualities of an object.
Eric Hibit received his undergraduate degree from the Corcoran College of Art and Design and his
MFA from Yale University. He has exhibited at Anna Kustera Gallery, Max Protetch Gallery, and
Satori Gallery in New York. He has shown internationally in Giverny, France. Most recently, the
artist exhibited this summer at Geoffrey Young Gallery in Great Barrington, Massachussetts.

Scott Brooks' work reflects the political and economic turmoil that takes up the head space
of those who are paying attention. "We the People" maintains the detailed figures and
story-telling themes Brooks has become known for, albeit on a much larger scale. In the
past, Brooks' message was often subtle, hidden in his elaborate tableaus. In contrast, "We
the People" blatantly speaks to the pop-culture-obsessed and politically-charged
landscape in which Brooks lives today.

Foundation
The Palestine Center is an independent think-tank committed to communicating reliable and objective
information about the Palestinian political experience to American policy makers, journalists, students and
the general public. Established in 1991, it is the educational program of the Jerusalem Fund for Education
and Community Development.
The Palestine Center brings together people and resources within the American and Palestinian
communities to educate about Palestine and the Palestinian people's ongoing quest for sovereignty on
their land, civil and political rights and an end to Israeli occupation.
The need for an organization such as The Palestine Center can be found in the effects of the economic,
cultural and political oppression Palestinians have endured and which continues on a daily basis in East
Jerusalem, the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, the surrounding refugee camps and for Palestinians world-wide
as they struggle to retain their homeland.
Palestinians' ability to maintain their daily lives and strengthen their democratic political system depends
on international humanitarian and non-governmental organizations such as The Palestine Center.

Sarah Lindley "Poppenhuizen"

We are pleased to announce our gallery's presentation of this
extraordinary exhibition of Sarah Lindley's ceramic sculptures based on
17th and 18th Century Dutch Cabinet Houses. A genre of Dutch furniture,
poppenhuizen were exquisite, miniature houses appointed with all the
comforts and luxuries of the Amsterdam homes they reproduced in every
tiny detail. Lindley's half-scale, skeletal renditions express her interest in the
cabinets' architectural structures, as well as their careful proportions and
design flourishes. Though ostensibly a doll's house, Petronella Oortman's
poppenhuis cost 30,000 guilders in 1670, almost enough to purchase a real
house at that time; thus these follies were clearly not child's play. Likewise,
Lindley's sculptures transcend their role as beautiful decorative objects,
painting an imaginary, yet informative picture of the elite interiors of this
period of material and artistic abundance. Lindley creates more austere
poppenhuizen but applies the same obsessive and confounding
craftsmanship found in the originals by making them in clay. The results are
exquisite contemporary sculpture full of rich, metaphorical content.
Sarah Lindley received her BFA from the famed ceramics department at
Alfred University in NY and her MFA in ceramics from the University of
Washington. She currently teaches sculpture and ceramics at Kalamazoo
College in Michigan. Lindley has received numerous grants and awards for
her work and has recently completed a prestigious residency at the Kohler
Co. Factory in upstate NY. In addition to her significant solo shows,
Lindley's original, furniture-based sculpture has been included in
challenging group exhibitions as far flung as France and Korea.

FRANK HALLAM DAY: RV

October 29 - December 4, 2010
Please join us for an opening reception

Addison/Ripley Fine Art
1670 Wisconsin Avenue NW
(202) 338-5180
In celebration of Fotoweek DC 2010, Addison/Ripley Fine Art is pleased to present "RV" a new body of
photographs by Washington DC, based photographer Frank Hallam Day. In his fourth exhibition at
Addison/Ripley Fine Art, Day continues to be convincing as a master of concept, technology and
provocative aesthetics. The viewer is at once drawn into the dramatic realm of the RV, curious about its
inhabitants while, at the same time, kept at a distance by the "gated community" that is the essence of both
each particular RV and their surrounding and often intimidating landscape. Day describes them as,
"...overtly theatrical, the foliage surrounding the RV's often looks like a scenery prop...intended to look
staged, almost dreamlike, half-way between fantasy and reality, exercises in artifice". As such, they share a
current interest of contemporary photography and places Day in the ranks of its most accomplished
practitioners.
While the photographs are intended to look overtly theatrical, presenting a staged dreamlike reality, they are
not Photoshop constructions, but, rather, a demonstration of the artist's technical skill. For this body of
work, Day has been on the road, in Florida, with lights and a tripod scouting appropriate RV's that will
express, "...the night song of a dark American dream; lovely and glowing, yet somehow toxic and chilling."
Using artificial lighting and time exposures he alters and manipulates nature with convincing, often
disturbing, results.
Day's recent curatorial success with PORTRAY, an exhibition of work by Washington area artists and his
inclusion as finalist in Voies Off 2010 in Arles, France mark him as a powerful force in both his home town
and internationally.

Transformer is proud to present our

8th Annual DC Artist Solo Exhibition:
Tang: Freedom & Its Owner

October 30 - November 4, 2010
OPENING DAY/OPEN HOUSE:

Saturday, October 30, 1:00-7:00 p.m.
Transformer invites audiences to meet Tang & experience his work throughout the
opening day, while enjoying flavored coffees & chocolates from ACKC, and live music
by Lillie Ruth Bussey.
Transformer's 8th Annual DC Artist Solo Exhibition presents the work of Tang in his
first solo exhibition. Marking his most conceptual work to date, Tang takes over
Transformer's project space with a bold, highly stylized and meticulously rendered
site-specific installation. As a culmination of Tang's previous works, Freedom & Its
Owner is the ultimate combination of his life philosophy and travel experiences.
Originally from Thailand, Tang moved to Northern Virginia as a young teenager

where he grew up skateboarding & BMX bike riding. He was very influenced by the
music, design, and lifestyle of these sporting sub-cultures, which embrace personal
freedom and being in the moment. Seeking to further fulfill the adventurous, free-
spirited nature he found through these sports, Tang makes an effort to travel to one
new country each year. Staying for at least one month, Tang integrates himself into
local cultures, while marveling at nature's beauty in each land he encounters. For
Tang, taking the time to contemplate and appreciate nature is part of owning his
freedom.
Expressing this ownership visually, Tang uses architectural elements to contrast the
confinement of his working life with the personal freedom he experiences while
traveling. Constructing a wall within the gallery, Tang separates the constraining
'darkness' of everyday urban & suburban responsibilities, while highlighting the
freeing 'light' of his month(s) long travels within mountain and jungle destinations.
Referencing time spent hiking in the mountains of South America - his favorite
destination - Tang incorporates large sculptural work of natural wood with brightly
colored mixed media paintings, characterized by his signature geometric forms and
figures.
Tang received his BFA in Fine Art at the Corcoran College of Art + Design,
Washington, DC, in 2004. He attended the Skopelos Foundation for the Arts in
Skopelos Island, Greece in 2003. Tang is a Teaching Assistant at the Corcoran
College of Art + Design in the Printmaking Department, and is a Studio Assistant at
the Hand Print Workshop in Alexandria, VA.
EXHIBITION HOURS: Wednesday - Saturday, 1 - 7pm & by appointment.

"Mundane History"
This feature is, on the surface, the story of the son of a wealthy family forming a relationship with his
caretaker after being paralyzed in an accident. But this description hardly does justice to the film's
mesmerizing atmosphere, intriguingly elliptical time scheme, and heady engagement with everything
from Thai history to evolution to reincarnation and the birth of the universe. It all adds up to one of the
most stunningly inventive films of 2009. (Dir.: Anocha Suwichakornpong, Thailand, 2009, 82 min., Thai
with English subtitles)
"Here"
Selected for the Cannes International Film Festival's Directors' Fortnight, this trippy story of insanity and
murder betrays its director's training as a visual artist, and has drawn comparisons to the work of
David Lynch. After killing his wife, a mentally disturbed man loses the ability to speak and is
committed to a mental hospital, where he forms a bond with an enthusiastic female kleptomaniac
and is subjected to an experimental treatment known as "videocure." (Dir.: Ho Tzu Nyen, Singapore,
2009, 86 min., English, Mandarin, Bahasa Indonesia, and Nepalese with English subtitles)
DAY OF THE DEAD
Open House

2829 16th Street NW
The inauguration of the Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) altar, a quintessentially
Mexican tradition, is one of our most lively events of the year and always fun for the
entire family. This year, the altar will be dedicated to the Mexican Revolution, one of the
most important social movements of the 20th century, which celebrates its landmark
centennial anniversary in 2010. Come enjoy the altar and other activities during one of
Mexico´s most unique holidays!
We invite you to attend our opening reception for "Night of the Living Art." Trick-
or-treat and bring the kids out for an alternative haunted house experience! In spirit
of this eerie holiday, explore the "dark" creativity and view local artists' paranormal
pieces taking inspiration from classic horror films, historical representation of drama
and pop cultural phenomena.
(Don't worry, as creepy as this looks, the event is family-friendly!
We are even hosting trick or treating for the kids in conjunction with other Arts District
businesses! So instead of going to a haunted house come explore our "haunted" galleries.)
To celebrate the "darker half" of the year with Design Studio Art Gallery, we
encourage you to come dressed in costume. All staff will be in costume!
Appreciation of the art will be greatly enhanced by the creativity you put into your
costuming.

Hello to all, or rather, Bonjour!
As you will have guessed, we've not been able to make headway
on getting a new home of our own. But that won't stop us from
doing the kinds of events that only Chapters can do, such as
Monday, November 1, 7:00-8:30 p.m.

French poet Hedi Kaddour, with a bilingual reading from
TREASON.
Poet and novelist Hédi Kaddour is a Parisian as well as a Germanist and an Arabist.
He writes a walker's, a watcher's, and a listener's poems in sonnet-shaped vignettes.
Capturing Kaddour's full range of diction, as well as his speed, momentum, and tone,
Marilyn Hacker's translations brilliantly bring these poems alive. He was Poetry
Daily's Featured Poet on March 30, 2010, so you can sample his eloquence there.
After the reading, we'll have a conversation on translating poetry moderated by Steve
Moyer. Don't miss this opportunity to hear a world-class poet.
We'll be at Teaism Lafayette Park, 800 Connecticut Avenue NW, which will
be closed for dining, but refreshments will be served. (nearest Metro: Farragut West,
17th St. Exit.) Merci beaucoup to Teaism's Michelle and Linda for their hospitality
encore une fois!

"Writing the History of Conservatism"

At a time of significant change in American politics, AEI is going back to basics exploring the philosophical and historical
roots of American conservatism. One of the challenges of writing a long history of conservatism is how conservatism's
central concept frequently changes. Does conservatism imply deference to tradition and a preference for hierarchy over
egalitarianism? Or, is it defined by its support for a vigorous foreign policy and a free-market economy? Historians of
conservatism face the danger of adopting a definition and including or excluding figures or movements from the past
according to how well they conform to it. Is America's "conservative tradition" real, or is it a figment of historians'
imaginations? Does conservative-history writing raise methodological questions, comparable to the issues raised by
Marxist historiography? Patrick Allitt, Cahoon Family Professor of American History at Emory University, will discuss these
and other issues at the November Bradley Lecture.

Opening Reception
Tuesday, November 2, 5:30-7:30 p.m.
Mandarin Oriental Hotel
1331 Maryland Avenue SW
Free and open to the public
VSA, DC and the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group are collaborating on an exhibition that will bring their signature eleven-
blade fan logo alive. The artists at the ARTiculate Program are creating the series after being inspired by some of the
fantastic locations of the Mandarin Hotels around the world. This after-work event directly supports local Washington, DC
artists and youth.
“Fans Around the World”is an exhibition of original multi-media artwork done by the ARTists at VSA‟s ARTiculate
Program. The artwork is created on fans to celebrate the Mandarin Oriental‟s logo. The fans start as just another blank
canvas for the artists. The ARTists are then able to take their inspiration and utilize the fan‟s unique surface to enhance
the piece. The exhibition includes large-scale fans, and fan-mobiles that become active in the breeze of the garden patio.
There are approximately fifteen framed 20 inch fans that will be on display in the Mandarin‟s exhibition space.
The youth who participate in the ARTiculate Employment Training Program are young adults from the local area with
special needs. WVSA provides artistic, vocational, and job readiness training through the arts. The gallery openings are a
way for the artists to share their artwork with the public, while connecting with the greater community of Washington, D.C.
VSA, Washington, DC is a unique non-profit organization providing multiple creative environments, opportunities, and
experiences for children and adults through arts-infused educational and vocational programs.
Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group is an international hotel investment and management group with deluxe and first class
hotels, resorts and residences in sought-after destinations around the world.

Purchase book
He has reported on the inner workings of the U.S. government, explained the global economy, and crawled under
the hood of the American automobile industry's downfall. Now, in his latest book, Don't Vote: It Just Encourages the
Bastards, acclaimed humorist P. J. O'Rourke, the H. L. Mencken Research Fellow at the Cato Institute, explores the
basis of our democracy and politics, and, with his trademark humor, takes a hard look at the people and
institutions that practice it.
Since 1970, O'Rourke has been reporting on the inner workings of the U.S. government and believes, now more
than ever, it is time for us to be on a "big fat political diet." O'Rourke will share his sharp insights on such
topics as the economy, the financial bailouts, and healthcare reform, as well as the overall state of American
politics. "You can remove morality from politics like you can remove the head from a chicken," he writes, "and
they'll both keep going — politics much longer than the chicken."
With his previous best-sellers including Parliament of Whores, Give War a Chance, Eat the Rich, The CEO of
the Sofa, On the Wealth of Nations, and Driving Like Crazy, this new addition to his canon reaffirms O'Rourke's
stature as "the funniest writer in America."
Come on, come all-- join Dandelion Patch for the Grand Opening event of the season! On Thursday, November

"Italy: Beneath the Surface", Fresco Photography by Diane Epstein

(November 2-13)
Opening Reception
Susan Calloway Fine Arts will be participating in FotoWeek

2010 with a special exhibition, "Italy: Beneath the Surface",
featuring fresco photography by Diane Epstein.
Diane Epstein, an American fine art photographer has made

Italy her home since 1995. She has a keen eye towards
bringing to life Ancient and Renaissance Rome, as well as
other old-world cities. Epstein captures an original view of
the monuments, statues, fountains and the hidden with a
textural, timeless quality. With her own innovative form of
photography, she revives the large-scale narrative painting and panoramic vistas of another time,
while still retaining the architectural details of today.
Epstein's signature "fresco" style of photography is created using a distinctive technique of layering
multiple images, including ancient sites and the richly encrusted walls of Rome to design a
painterly, textured picture, developing an illusion of shape and depth on a two dimensional surface.
She manages to portray visual ambiguities to allure the eye, with painted pillars, columns and
cupolas that cast depth into the viewer's space.
Rather than seven layers of paint applied to a plastered wall, Epstein's fresco series may use seven
or more layers of photographs taken in old world cities of today, dissolving into elaborate displays
of ethereal architecture and spectral visions of what lies beneath the surface.
Although over the last decade Epstein has exhibited widely in Europe this will be her debut in the
U.S. Some of Italian exhibitions include in Rome at the American Academy, the American
Embassy, the Residence of the Belgian Ambassador, John Cabot University and Al Vicario 31, and
in Umbria at the museum, Il Chiostro Boccarini Rome Luxury Suites has a permanent display of
her work at their newest hotel, Babuino 181, next to Piazza del Popolo, where Epstein's
Photography is featured in each of their suites and lobbies. Architect Fabrizio Magnaghi is using
over 25 of her photographs, including the large-scale fresco images in frames up to six feet tall. Her
sepia images of architectural details and fountains will be displayed at the hotels Mario dei Fiori, 37
and Margutta, 54 in Rome.
Susan Calloway Fine Arts specializes in contemporary art by local, regional, and international artists, antique American
and European oil paintings, and a carefully chosen selection of 17th-19th century prints. The gallery also specializes in
conservation framing using archival-quality materials and techniques, and in traditional French mat decoration.

THE SISTERS OF PERPETUAL INDULGENCE: IDENTITY WRIT LARGE

Photography by Matthew Black
OCTOBER 15 - NOVEMBER 13
FotoWeek DC Reception & Meet the Artist
Sister VixXxen as Marcos | Marcos as Sister VixXxen, archival pigment prints, 2009
Since 2007, Matthew Black has documented the outrageous and provocative social activist
group, The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. Members of this international Sisterhood take on
the identities of 21st century nuns, dedicated to "promulgating universal joy, expiating
stigmatic guilt, and serving the community." Far more than street performers or typical drag
queens, they use the art of drag to raise awareness for the LGBT community, educate about
safe sex & AIDS, raise money for local non-profits, and advocate for human rights.
In Black's engrossing, public-private portraits of Sisters in the Seattle chapter he visibly

captures their transformation between various personas and brings to light the deeper,
universal question we each ask ourselves - Who am I really?
About The Joan Hisaoka Healing Arts Gallery at Smith Farm Center:

INDUSTRY GALLERY HOSTS din-din - AN EXHIBITION OF NEW WORK BY JERRY MISCHAK
Includes 36-ft. long Table with Objects & Twelve Reconstructed Chairs Wrapped in Colored Tape
Washington, DC (October 26, 2010) - Industry Gallery will host din-din, an exhibition of new work by Jerry
Mischak, opening November 6, 2010, 6-8 PM, and running through December 18, 2010. Mischak, a senior critic at
the Rhode Island School of Design, visiting professor at Brown University and instructor at the University of
Rhode Island, will exhibit one large-scale installation and twelve chairs, all unique prototypes. The installation
piece dinner table/such a night is a 36-foot long table with 40 plates, 80 pieces of flat ware, 45 glasses, 25 empty
wine bottles, and 100 empty water bottles, all wrapped in more than 3000 yards of orange vinyl tape. The
exhibition's 12 chairs are found objects reconstructed via sanding, cutting with the addition of plastic, Styrofoam
and wood, and all encased in colored vinyl tape.
Mischak uses tape as a unifying element, or as he says, "a skin that covers a number of objects into a common
form." The tape appeals both for its color and as a bonding material. He rarely ever works with sketches and
never with a computer. His works are developed through trial and error and a sculptural process of adding and
subtracting. Mischak says each piece "develops in real time and real space" and explains that with the chairs he
is reinventing and redefining how each function with the body, likening the result to cover versions of well-
known songs created by jazz musicians.
Speaking of the exhibition, Mischak said dinner table/such a night "evokes the remnants and memories of a grand
dinner. Who was there? Who did you sit next to? What were the conversations? What was the food like? Did it get
out of hand? Did you say the wrong things? Did you move ahead with your career? The chairs are separate
thoughts from the enormous table, although as chairs they can relate."
About Jerry Mischak
Mischak grew up in Newark, New Jersey, in a house that he says had his first two studios - the dining room and
front porch his mother converted into a beauty parlor, and a dirt floor basement where he built monsters and
made movies with an 8mm Bell and Howell camera. These were the places he could be alone and creative. "I
once made a figure out of wood wrapped it with strips of white cloth, put it in a metal box and buried it in the
back yard. It was after to my first viewing of The Mummy with Boris Karloff, my mom got worried she thought I
was getting a little crazy. It was a time and world of fantasies, and performance while building the objects that
helped create these stories."
"I feel that my work comes out of those early exploits and the industrial urban sections of Jersey where I would
travel as a kid and later as a teen. Where the bridges embrace the port and the factory buildings."
Mischak cites an affinity for the work of Jorge Pardo, Ernesto Neto and Franz West for "their ability and vision to
cross lines of sculpture, architecture and design." He also admires the work of Tejo Remy & René Veenhuizen,
saying "to me they are always on the edge, their concepts are genuine, clear and sometimes humorous."
Mischak received his BFA from Rhode Island School of Design and MFA from the University of Wisconsin-
Madison. He has exhibited his work at the Palmer Museum, Penn State University; Cypress College Art Gallery,
Cypress, CA; Islip Art Museum; Lehman College Art Gallery, NY; Pavel Zoubok Gallery, NY; Jim Kempner Fine Art,
New York; the Boston Center for the Arts; and, Diverse Works Gallery, Houston. Mischak is also a recipient of the
Howard Foundation Fellowship and Rhode Island State Council of the Arts Fellowship.

José Parlá, Layered Days, 2009. Mixed media, collage, oil, acrylic, plaster on wood panel. 4 x 6 ft. Detail.
Street/Studio 2.0 showcases the multiple practices of artists who work across a continuum of sites and
mediums that include street mural works, studio works in all mediums, gallery and museum exhibitions, digital
production tools, and documentation and distribution on the Web. The artists’ works--in any medium and
wherever they appear--form a dialog with the city and engage us with responses to the energy, conflicts, and
joys of urban life.
Our exhibition last year, Street/Studio, showed how artists working in this new continuity of practice understand
their works as always being site-specific, made for the spaces that frame them, regardless of the cultural
categories defining where art should appear.
Artists associated with this movement have not only broken down walls but have also removed the dichotomy
between the real and digital worlds. With proliferating photo-sharing sites, artists’ blogs, and aggregators like the
Wooster Collective, the Web has become a documentary virtual wall, a global city, a real-time art archive, a
community studio, and an instant messaging system for artists. Software tools for composing images to be
output in other media have become as integral to studio practice as the musician’s mixing board and multiple
digital sound sources.
Street/Studio 2.0 further advances a broader view of art today as artists now develop their work in a continuity of
practice spanning works in all forms and locations, digital media and software, and the Web. Street/Studio 2.0
presents leading artists who have been innovators in new categories of art, creatively recoding the recombinant
DNA of culture into new forms that respond to urban life.

About the Artists
David Ellis is one of the founders of the Barnstormers collective, and he works in many forms that extend his
background in music and painting. His paintings, murals, and motion-painting videos capture the rhythms and
visual energy of jazz, hip-hop, and graffiti, and his kinetic sculptures convert found materials and repurposed
acoustic instruments into programmable motion and sound installations. Street/Studio 2.0 will feature Ellis’s new
HD film, Animal, a 9.5 minute documentation of a six-week motion-painting performance. David Ellis lives works
in Brooklyn, NY. Further info.

2010), originated at the Boston Institute of Contemporary Art. Further info.
José Parlá is internationally known for his multi-layered paintings that combine the direct hand-work of graffiti
and city walls with calligraphy, abstract expressionist gestures, and collaged fragments city life. His works are
urban memory documents, palimpsests of the layers of time, history, and experience in dense urban
environments. His paintings have appeared in major exhibitions in London, New York, Tokyo, and Paris. José
Parlá lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. Further info.

Chris Mendoza was born in Nicaragua and combines a love of the folk culture of his native country with the
chaos and complexity of modern cities. His drawings, paintings, and collage compositions form his own visual
index of the rhythms of the city and a catalog of the fragments of everyday experience. Mendoza has had recent
solo exhibitions in New York and Tokyo, and lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. Further info.

James Marshall (Dalek) has been been constantly developing his post-Pop painting style that abstracts graphic
lines and color from street art, cartoons and animation, and the kaleidoscopic visual density of the city. He was a
studio assistant for Takashi Murakami’s in 2001. Marshall has been in many exhibitions in New York, Paris,
London, Los Angeles and with Irvine Contemporary in Washington, DC. He is a graduate of the School of the Art
Institute of Chicago, and, now lives and works in Raleigh, NC.
Gaia has quickly become recognized for his placement of prints and paintings on the streets in major cities.
Drawing his imagery from archetypal animals, personal portraits, and art history, Gaia constructs linocut images
and drawings that intervene in urban spaces for reflections on the human condition in nature and history. His
studio projects combine collage, linocut prints, and painting, and have been exhibited in Brooklyn, New York,
Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Washington, DC. Gaia lives and works in Baltimore, MD, and Brooklyn, NY,
and is a student at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore.

(corner of Q Street & New Hampshire Avenue)
This is an exhibition premiering 20 photographs of Argentina's national parks by Diego Ortiz Mugica featured
in the new book Parques Nacionales Argentinos (The National Parks of Argentina). The exhibition, part of the
celebration of Argentina's bicentennial, will be open to the public November 10-11, 1:00-5:00 p.m., and
November 12, 1:00-3:00 p.m. Kaller Fine Arts will have a large selection of Mugica's works available including
images from The National Parks, Fly Fishing Moments, The Geography of the Body and other series.
In the book's prologue, Argentine President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner celebrates "the extraordinary value
and enormous richness of our land, our nature reserves, and our diversity." The artist's goal in the national
parks project, on which he spent twelve years and traversed one third of Argentina's 36 parks, was to create
"perfectly clear images where you can feel the stones, the sand, the trees and perceive the wind and the cold
... to show the natural beauty" of the parks. Among his favorite sites, the Iguazu Falls, Glaciares, and
Patagonia North.
About the Artist

Diego Ortiz Mugica, born and raised in Buenos Aires, uses photography, he says, to "share beauty with
people" and his work is a way to "shout to ask people to stop and contemplate beauty." Looking and
contemplation have always been important, especially as a child when a congenital heart defect kept him
largely inactive for the first six years of his life. Following an operation that repaired his heart, and extensive
recuperation, he developed a passion for camping.
Mugica, an active photographer for more than three decades, studied for three years with Pedro uis Raota at
the Escuela Superior de Arte Fotográfico (beginning in 1980), and also participated in workshops with Ulf
Sjöstedt, then director of Victor Hasselblad Company magazine. Subsequently he studied large format
photography with Esteban Marco, thanks to a Foundation Antorchas scholarship. In 1999 and 2001, he
participated in two separate workshops with John Sexton (who worked with Ansel Adams for the last eight
years of Adams' life). Mugica employs the zone system developed by Ansel Adams and Fred Archer in the
late 1930s and speaks of his artistic inspirations as a trinity, with "Ansel Adams, John Sexton and Edward
Weston as the Father, Son and Holy Spirit", respectively. He also cites as inspiration Richard Avedon for
portraiture and Robert Mapplethorpe for the "effective" way he "took pictures of bodies and flowers."
His work is in numerous public collections, among them Argentina's Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes (National
Museum of Fine Arts), Banco Santa Cruz (Santa Cruz Bank), and Fundación ARCADE (ARCADE
Foundation). Private collections include Argentine President Mrs. Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, Juan
Cambaso, president of the art fair ARTE BA, Infanta Cristina, Duchess of Palma de Mallorca, Michael
Cowdray (UK), Carole Bouquet (FR), and many others.
Mugica divides his time between a house in Buenos Aires and a home Patagonia. He spends four to five
months of the year at the Patagonia house, which he has owned for 15 years, and describes the environment
there as "another way of living ... looking at the Limay River is like getting a massage." He would spend more
time there, but in a nod to life's practicalities, he noted: "God is everywhere, but he does business in Buenos
Aires."
The exhibition is being held in conjunction with FotoWeek DC, November 6-13, 2010.

Germany is expected to exceed its target of reaching 30% power from renewable energies by 2020.
But how far away is an energy economy that is based on 100% renewable energies? Is there a tradeoff between
local generation and regional integration? And is the way forward one of energy independence or a stronger
collaboration among states, regions and countries? Please join us for this transatlantic discussion.

About the Photographers
Adrián Salgueiro
He was born in Mar del Plata, Buenos Aires in 1967. He graduated at the Escuela de Arte Fernando
Fader. He had experiences with illustration and graphic design. In 1991 he became involved in
photography: courses and workshops with Ataúlfo Pérez Aznar, Eduardo Gil and Gianni Mestichelli,
to whom he was an assistant. In 1997 he founded, together with other photographers, a self-
managed workshop on expression, which is still working. Towards the end of 1999 he published,
with Paula Burd, Estampas, a limited edition of 80 photographs in little boxes, presented at the
Centro Cultural Recoleta’s auditorium and at Les soirées du Festival Voies Off des Rencontres d’Arles
(France).
Diego Grünstein
He was born in 1969 in the city of Buenos Aires, where he lives and works as a freelance
photographer and props assistant in advertising films. While he was studying Advertising in 1990, his
interest in photography, which he had since his childhood, became more intense, and he started
focusing mainly on the use of classical cameras, composition and black & white lab work, to move on
to work as a photographer and in photo labs. With time, he started meeting other contemporary
photographers to discuss their works, which boosted his work with color. A few years ago he started
working mainly with a 1952 Rolleiflex, and also made some forays into digital photography.
Guillermo Ueno
Born in November, 1968, he is a photographer since 1990. He studied at the Escuela de Arte
Fotográfico de Avellaneda and Esteban Marco’s study. In 1995, he started working as Alberto
Goldenstein’s assistant. He chairs a workshop on Photo Edition at the Centro Cultural Rojas of the
University de Buenos Aires since 1999. Since 1992, he holds regular exhibitions of photography and
video at Galería Ruth Benzacar, Belleza y Felicidad, Palatina, Catena, VVV, Fundación Klemm,
MALBA, MAMBA, MACRO, Centro Cultural Recoleta, Rojas, Médanos, Museo de arte moderno de
Mendoza, Museo de Bellas artes Lincoln, MAC Santiago de Chile, MAC Niteroi Brasil, the Argentine
Consulate in New York, Printed matter and Hogar collection (New York), and Vasistas Galerie
(France).
Nicolás Trombetta
He was born in Buenos Aires in 1972. His relationship with photography started in 1991, when he
entered the Escuela Panamericana de Arte (Pan-American Art School). In 1992 he entered the
Escuela de Arte Fotográfico de Avellaneda (Avellaneda School of Photographic Art), where he
studied for two years while he took pictures of babies for a family photography studio. In 1994 he
attended Alberto Goldenstein’s work.

former student whose work strongly reflects the interests and influence of the teacher. The result is not only a
study in influence but also a reflection of the diversity and quality of the Corcoran’s Photography Department, its
students and its faculty.

Julie Wolfe
November 5 - December 23, 2010
Opening Reception
Friday, November 12, 6:30-8:30 p.m.
Hemphill Fine Arts

Washington, DC 20005.
Washington DC – Hemphill opens Julie Wolfe on

Friday, November 5, 2010. The exhibition will
remain on view through December 23, 2010.
Who conquers whom in the battle between life

and death? The juxtaposition of flourishing life
with lurking death in Julie Wolfe’s artwork
addresses the artist’s preoccupation with
corruptive elements that challenge the strength of
nature. Wolfe’s imagery reveals the
interconnectedness of life and death,
demonstrating their unavoidable coexistence.
However powerful, these formidable renderings
are intentionally covert. Not only does Wolfe
subtly incorporate sinister creatures and violent
symbols, but she succeeds in making them
beautiful. She lures the viewer into a pleasing
environment infiltrated by camouflaged perils. In
the painting titled ―Subversion,‖ a bouquet of
blooming fruits and wildlife surrounds a knife
plunging through a human heart. In ―Decay,‖ a
seductive topiary hangs suspended from a chain
and oozes with an ominous liquid. Her artwork
parallels the intersections between beauty and
violence that exist within and across cultures, a
key example being the ancient artistic and
personal expression of tattoos. Through her
artwork, Wolfe blurs the lines between good and
evil, tranquility and violence, and decay and
regeneration, portraying these forces as less
antagonistic and more interconnected than their
definitions suggest.
Julie Wolfe received a BFA in Painting and Art

History from The University of Texas, Austin,
TX. She has exhibited at the Corcoran Gallery of
Art and the Textile Museum, among others, and
currently resides in Washington DC. Wolfe’s
debut exhibition at Hemphill includes recent
paintings, works on paper, and prints.

"Beyond the Singularity"

The Solo Show of Josh Taylor
"Beyond the Singularity" tells the final story of the fabled Gastonian civilization. Millenia ago a
great race of technologically advanced beings visited an infant planet. They chose this planet as
the site for the greatest genetic experiment ever conducted in the history of the multiverse.
Experiment #57. Out of their experiment rose many forms of unique and wonderous sentient life.
The existence of these "old gods" was only known through the myths and legends that arose from
the collective consciousness of the sentient lifeforms they created, and eventually passed into
obscurity. Then a genetic anomaly arose from the experiment. This anomaly would be known as
Dingle Doppleganger and would threaten the very fabric of reality on Gastonia. Dingle threw the
multiverse into a dark and terrible age. He destroyed everything, tore reality asunder and
recreated Gastonia in his own image. This image included the spread of his reality to the rest of
the multiverse and Dingle worked toward molding the few Gastonians left into a space faring race.
Now the "old gods" have returned to their grand experiment to find something terrible...

About the Artist
JOSHUA TAYLOR was born in New Jersey and continued his downward trajectory in hellish locales
in up-state New York and North Carolina before honing his art skills at Pratt Institute. Upon earning
his degree, he traversed the country, from California to Vermont, pursuing his art career. His fine
art has appeared in galleries in LA, NY, Europe, and the Philippines, and has also been featured in
various publications worldwide. Taylor's current body of work focuses on the history, myths and
legends of his "Gastonian Multiverse", an odd ancient doppleganger reality where the laws of
physics and the very fabric of time and space are falling apart at the seams. He currently resides in
Baltimore where he paints, pays for parking, and works on a series of graphic novels and web
comics entitled Bird & Girl.

Diagnosing Social Ecological System

Many crucial problems affect social-ecological systems (SES) of diverse scales all the way from small lakes,
forests, and irrigation systems to the globe. If we do not really develop a common language for discussing
these questions, we are not going to move forward. In her talk, Dr. Ostrom will discuss the SES framework that
was initially developed for a special feature of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. This
analytic framework examines the interactions among four domains – governance, users, resource systems, and
resource units – and the social and ecological outcomes that result from these interactions. She will apply it to
the analysis of the impact of institutional arrangements on the performance of irrigation systems in Nepal and
forests in 10 countries across the world, and discuss some of the current interests by scholars in Europe and the
U.S. to move on and develop it still further

October's Fringe Artist is Ben Egerman hailing from Minneapolis,
Minnesota. Ben created The Great Ben Egerman Theatre
Adventure! in the fall of 2009 in order to present his touring
production of its namesake's one-man show, Do Not Kill Me, Killer
Robots. It is driven by his desire to tour a show in a wide variety of
locations, with a low-budget, do-it-yourself aesthetic. The show's set
and props, including a large number of electronic props and sound
equipment, are all built by Ben from scratch, designed to occupy no
more space than a desk, all are able to run off a single electrical
outlet, and easily fit into the trunk of a Honda Civic.
Ben will be back at the Fort for fallFRINGE November 17-21. If you
missed his show during this years Fringe Festival or just want to see it
again... don't miss what the Washington Post called "...solidly funny".
Q As a self-producing artist, what qualities make for a good

show idea in your opinion, and what is typically your first step in realizing your artistic vision?
A ... Sometimes, I'll try damn hard, but realize that things like "The Secret Life of Pirate Jesus" made a
really funny sketch, but a really awful full-length play, and fail to make it past the second scene. P.S. yes,
that's a real example. His ship was called the Holy Cutlass.

charmingly madcap adventure about love, life, and man's eternal love affair

the Fairway, except Saturday evenings. To redeem, call Signature's Box

Holiday
by Philip Barry
Directed by Dawn McAndrews
Fringe Button Discount $15 for all matinee and Sunday evenings
1524 Spring Hill Road, McLean, VA
Written just before the stock market crash of 1929, Holiday follows
the whirlwind romance of Johnny Case and Julia Seton, eldest daughter
of a prominent New York family. When Johnny announces he wants to "retire early and work late" sparks
fly, igniting younger sister, Linda, who longs to break out and pursue a dream of her own. Barry's
sophisticated comedy elegantly explores the clash of love and money, eerily preceding the financial doom
that will force millions to examine their greed and humanity. Visit 1stStagetysons.org for information

Opportunit ies
National Urban Fellows' leadership development program is a rigorous, 14-month, full-time graduate degree
program comprising two semesters of academic course work and a nine-month mentorship assignment. Fellows
receive a $25,000 stipend, health insurance, a book allowance, relocation and travel reimbursement, and full
payment of tuition, in addition to their ongoing personal and professional development.
The program culminates in a Master of Public Administration (MPA) degree from the City of New York's Bernard
M. Baruch College, School of Public Affairs. During the mentorship, Fellows complete course work via distance
learning. An MPA degree is awarded to Fellows upon completion of all academic and program requirements.
Following graduation, Fellows become part of a prestigious group of well over 1,000 multicultural, multiracial
alumni who are graduates of the National Urban Fellows program and who are effecting positive changes in
communities nationally and internationally. Individually and collectively, they are helping to create an equitable
and just society while serving as role models for future generations.
Fellows apply their expertise in the public sector, contributing their newly acquired leadership skills to public
service for the betterment of their communities and the nation. They return to their former or new occupations
more experienced in public policy decision-making and are better prepared to make a strong commitment to
equity and social justice, thereby fulfilling the mission of the program. Finally, Fellows give back to the
organization that supported them, recognizing that their ongoing commitment, engagement and involvement
and/or annual giving will help to secure the future of National Urban Fellows.

To all our partners in the DC region -

Thanks again for your support of StreetWise Partners' programs over the last 12 months. We are excited about further
developing and improving our Career Ventures program, as well as our Alumni workshops over the next year, to better help
motivated low-income individuals. Currently 77% of participants have a job, a promotion or pay-rise, or are enrolled in a
career advancing education program within 6 months of starting our Career Ventures program. We want to get this up to
100%!
I hope you will continue to support our efforts as a volunteer, and we have a new Mock Interview Day on July 13th (downtown
Washington, D.C., 6:30pm - 9:00pm) that we're offering to individuals who are applying to participate in our Fall
program. Volunteers will conduct three mock interviews in different interviewer „roles‟ - CEO, Line Manager,
HR Manager – to give the experience of different types of interviews. Volunteers then give feedback about their
performance and their resume. You can RSVP to volunteer at this event by responding to this email!
If you're interested in helping us with our current challenge campaign to raise $100,000 by the end of June (last day of the
campaign today!), then you can text the word ‘partners’ to 20222 now to donate $10 to support our incredible programs. An
easy way to make a difference, without even leaving your desk! (more details below).
Thank you so much for your ongoing support.
Best wishes,
Lauren
