Sam Gilliam: Close to Trees
April 2 to August 14, 2011
Opening Saturday, April 2, from 6:00 to 9:00
Sam Gilliam first took his paintings off their stretchers in 1965,
using the liberated canvases to transform gallery walls into
three-dimensional abstractions. He has continued to experiment with the
practice of painting and the line between painting and sculpture. For
this exhibition, Gilliam will transform the 8,000 square foot space of
the third floor of the American University Museum at the Katzen Arts
Center into an exciting and colorful work of art.

Survival Guide for Artists and Arts Organizations
Tuesday, March 29th @ 7pm
Adam Natale, Director of Partnerships & Business Development at Fractured Atlas, will speak about key services, programs, and resources that can help artists with the business side of their art -- the "unsexy" side that artists generally do not like thinking about, but allow them to focus more easily on the creation of their art, while also maintaining the infrastructure of their "arts business."
To start, Adam will introduce the services offered through Fractured Atlas, a national, nonprofit arts organization that provides fundraising, education/professional development, insurance, and other services to both performing and visual artists. Adam will then talk about other local, state and national organizations that offer similar resources on arts advocacy/civic engagement, fundraising, jobs in the arts and arts administration, tips on grantwriting, social media/new technology, networking, emerging arts leaders, and general career and resume guidance. We are looking forward to a lively Q & A!

Culture Wars: Then and Now
Presented at the Corcoran in Partnership with Transformer
and the National Coalition Against Censorship
On Saturday, March 26, the Corcoran Gallery of Art and College of Art + Design, along with partners Transformer and the National Coalition Against Censorship will present Culture Wars: Then and Now, a FREE one-day symposium examining past and current debates about freedom of expression and public support for the arts.
"In light of recent censorship by the Smithsonian Institution and threats by congressional leaders to pull arts funding from national arts institutions, including the National Endowment for the Arts, Culture Wars: Then and Now presents very timely conversation examining how freedom of expression and public support for the arts are currently being debated," said Victoria Reis, executive and artistic director of Transformer.
Culture Wars: Then and Now will examine censorship in four unique discussions: Censorship Examined, Culture Wars Redux, Give Me a Revolution: Artists' Responses to Censorship, and Free Speech & Arts Funding.
"We are convening this symposium because the fear of controversy and subsequent institutional self-censorship that come in the wake of a censorship incident are much more dangerous than the incident itself," said Svetlana Mintcheva, director of programs at the National Coalition Against Censorship.
All panels will be held at the Frances and Armand Hammer Auditorium from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 26 and are free and open to the public. "The Corcoran is pleased to partner with Transformer and the Coalition to put this important discussion, and subsequent dialogue, on the center stage, where it belongs," said Corcoran Director and President Fred Bollerer.
Marshall Reese of Ligorano/Reese Collaborations and a participating panelist in Culture Wars said: "During the first week of December, I had this strange sense of déjà vu. Once again, politicians were censoring a major art exhibition, and it was even the same artist, David Wojnarowicz. It was almost as if I had been asleep for the past 20 years. And yet, it's become clear, this isn't just some weird Twilight Zone like aberration; it's the onslaught of an attack on not just our civil liberties, but with what's happening in Wisconsin on the American way of life."
To further punctuate aspects of the conversations taking place throughout the symposium, video works via Franklin Furnance's The History of the Future! A Franklin Furnance View of Performance Art will be shown in the Corcoran Atrium during the lunch break and between panel sessions.
A reception for panelists and attendees will follow in the Corcoran Atrium from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. Pre-registration is encouraged; to register, visit https://getinvolved.corcoran.org/culturewars.
The full-day symposium will be streamed live at www.corcoran.org

The older classic works feature their own original scores, intersections of visual and musical forms. (Approximately 100 minutes)

Washington Design Center's 2011 Dream Home | The Georgetowner
The Contemporary Museum will explore social changes and movements that revolutionized the art world during the 1950s with its Critical Perspectives discussion series, “Revolutionary Road: How the Art of the Fifties Paved the Way for Today’s Art,” beginning Tuesday, March 22, 2011. The six-week course will reveal how radical new art forms challenged the notion of suburban tranquility, and encouraged artists to embark on life-transforming personal quests.
Critical Perspectives will examine the rise of such influential groups and artist collectives as the Nouveau Realisme of France, Gutai of Japan, and the Fluxus and Happenings artist networks in the United States. The series will also explore the era’s emerging art forms, including junk culture and experimental photography, as well as revolutionary installation strategies. An overview of the seminal figures who taught or studied at the renowned though short-lived Black Mountain College will provide insight into the great artistic minds of the 50s and the new forms of expression they pioneered.
The series will convene every Tuesday, from March 22 through May 3, 2011, excluding April 19, at 6:15 p.m. at the Contemporary Museum.
Critical Perspectives will be led by Virginia K. Adams and Sue Spaid. Ms. Adams is a modern and contemporary art history instructor at Maryland Institute College of Art. Sue Spaid is executive director of the Contemporary Museum.
This is a ticketed series. For more information about Critical Perspectives and the Contemporary Museum, visit www.contemporary.org or call (410) 783-5720.

Artists can make a living independent of a gallery. This Mini Boot Camp will be a hands-on intensive professional practice workshop in which Ms. Louden will provide guidance with respect to: galleries; understanding the world of public art; applying for grants and navigating application proposals of all sorts; general marketing strategies; pursuing jobs in the arts; how to research and "find the money"; basic professional correspondence; creating a great presentation package/portfolio; the basics of writing a resume and a solid artist statement; and, creating a realistic set of goals that are flexible enough to evolve over time. Sharon's perspective focuses on creative thinking outside the box and following different avenues to create opportunities and income without spending a fortune. Sharon feels the ultimate goal is to achieve professional independence, confidence and empowerment.
Sharon M. Louden graduated with a B.F.A. from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and an MFA from Yale University, School of Art. Her work is held in major public and private collections throughout the United States, Asia and Europe.

Contemporary CaféUnveiling Jim Lucio’s Monument to Disposable Pop Culture, “Totems”
March 12, 2011, 9:30 – 11:00 a.m.@
Contemporary Museum100 West Centre Street
Baltimore, MD
Pop culture and coffee will set the mood at the Contemporary Museum’s next Contemporary Café, featuring a cupping hosted by Spro and the unveiling of the museum’s latest New View storefront window installation, “Totems” by artist Jim Lucio.
The installation will explore Lucio’s lifelong fascination with disposable pop culture, hoarding tendencies, and how material things often come to define their owners. The window will be a monument to visual clutter, wrapped with images from Lucio’s personal collection of ephemera, film stills and other visual graphics. Totem poles will be erected from collected materials and found objects including old toys, lamp parts and other pop cultural debris.
Lucio will discuss the newly-commissioned piece during Contemporary Café.
Participation in Contemporary Café is $5 for the general public and is free for members of the Contemporary Museum.
“Totems” will be on display through Sunday, April 3, 2011.

Each year Raandesk Gallery hosts an international competition in photography with a specific theme. The theme, Staged, was selected by one of the jurors for the 2010 competition and served as a single word platform for photographers to present their work. The exhibition is comprised of photographs created by the top five finalists of the competition and serves to be dramatic as well as insightful into each artist's individual definition of the theme.
Opening Reception: March 10, 7 - 9 PM
