Margaret Boozer's 'Dirt Drawings' at Katzen

Express Night Out | Arts & Events | Dirt's Tones and Tales: Margaret Boozer's 'Dirt Drawings'

VISITING THE Katzen Arts Center at American University, one would not expect to see 12,000 pounds of clay lying on the floor. But that's exactly what's at the museum through Sun., part of Margaret Boozer's exhibition "Dirt Drawings."

"Usually, a museum is designed to take care of objects rather than foster their growth and evolution," says Katzen director and curator Jack Rasmussen. "This show is about the artistic process, instead of rows of pots."

Katzen Arts Center, 4400 Massachusetts Ave. NW; through Sun., Aug. 16; 202-885-1300.
