Mainly Monotypes: Prints by Mary D. Ott
October 8 - November 9, 2008
Opening Reception: Friday, October 10, 6 - 8:30 pm
Mainly Monotypes: Prints by Mary D. Ott at Touchstone Gallery features one-of-a-kind images of ornamental grasses. These colorful and expressive monotypes* are part of Ott's series of more than 40 original prints titled "Bouquets of Grasses."
In addition, the exhibit includes screenprints of agaves from Crete and France and landscapes from Washington , DC and the Eastern Shore of Maryland.
____________________________________________
*A monotype is a one-of-a-kind print. Ott's are produced by creating an image with etching ink on a piece of Plexiglas (a “plate”) and then printing the design on a piece of paper using a hand-operated etching press. Once the design is transferred from the plate, very little of the original design is left on the plate. For this reason there is only one print, a monotype, made from the image that was originally on the plate.

Artist Coalition for Dupont Underground
Heather Goss has an article about,
Read the article HERE
a group of arts organizations pushing to convert the unused space underneath Dupont Circle into an exhibition space for experimental artists and curators to hold shows they may not otherwise find space for, for "mid-size" traveling exhibitions that can't find a home in a big museum, as well as a variety of other creative endeavors: fashion shows, video screenings, architectural events, and more.. Warehouse's Paul Ruppert, along with Adam Griffiths from the Washington Project for the Arts, and Julian Hunt, an architect with Hunt Laudi Studio, have formed an "ad hoc committee" as part of the new Artist Coalition for Dupont Underground.
ACDU's mission is to fill a hole they feel is missing for art spaces in the city.
"It's a central location and a large space that fits a lot of converging interests," Hunt explains.

Uncommon Beauty
Ellipse Arts Center & Washington Project for the Arts Present
Uncommon Beauty
October 3 - December 13, 2008
Sarah Tanguy, Independent curator critic and ART in Embassies Program Curator
ARTISTS:
Kay Chernush, Mary Coble, Frank Hallam Day, Jason Horowitz, Lucian Perkins and Athena Tacha.
In contrast to the standards of the media and the fashion world, exhibiting artists for Uncommon Beauty will stake out alternative perspectives. While they are important topics, the overall focus of the exhibition is not our society’s obsession with diet fads, obesity, and cosmetic intervention. Instead, the exhibition seeks to investigate the underpinnings of beauty and imperfection; how standards and ideals become formed and perceived; and the dynamics of self-esteem, self-hate and acceptance. The intent is to offer something different, unexpected, positive, or ambivalent; something that problematizes the notion of beauty without merely bashing it.
Artists' Talk and Opening Reception: Thursday, October 2, 5:30 p.m. - 9 p.m.
Artists' Talk: 5:30 - 6:30 p.m. Reception follows
Dress: Your interpretation of "Uncommon Beauty"
Parking is free and open late the night of the reception
Personal Identity and the Disjunction of Public Perception: A Discussion with Kay Chernush and Mary Coble: Thursday, October 16, 7 - 9 p.m.
Art Eyes Happy Hour: Friday, November 7, 7 - 9 p.m.
Everyone is welcome to personally interact with select Uncommon Beauty artists as we connect the Deaf and Visual Arts communities. Art Eyes is designed to create dialogue, art critique among peers and interpretation of artworks. Their mission is to empower the Deaf community to become move involved in the Visual Arts. Targeted audiences include all artists, art lovers and art-curious.
ASL interpreters will be present and parking is free/open late for the reception, discussion and Art Eyes happy hour.
Please note: "Uncommon Beauty" exhibits photographs with adult content that may not be suitable for children. Parental discretion is advised.
