DCist Exposed

February 20 – March 7, 2009

Opening Reception: Friday, February 20, 2009 from 5 to 9 pm


DCist is partnering with the Gallery at Flashpoint to exhibit nearly 50 amateur and professional photographers chosen from more than 300 entrants who submitted their work through Flickr.com. DCist Exposed showcases photographic talent that reveals the city through the eyes of people who live and work in the DC metro area.

DCist is also bringing back last year's special event for emerging collectors, Emerge Exposed, on Tuesday, March 3 from 7 to 9 pm at Flashpoint's Mead Theater Lab. Co-hosted by DCist, Flashpoint and the Pink Line Project, a panel of experts will share tips and ideas on how to begin collecting art. There will be a $10 suggested donation at the door for Emerge Exposed.

Anti-Plastic: Anthony Cervino

Opening Reception Friday, Sept. 5, 6:00 - 8:00pm
September 5 - October 11

With plastic resin and paints, Anthony Cervino transforms the parts taken from toy model kits, into low-relief sculptures on canvas. Not quite wall sculptures and not quite paintings, these chromatically reductive works are evocative of architectural structures, disaster scenes, and abstract landscapes.
