Thought you'd heard it all? Read about the new National Harbor opening this side of the Potomac in Prince George's County, a short drive from downtown DC. - ART, retail, dining, glitz! Washington Glass School and Art Whino are a few galleries that will be opening spaces there. Artworks that are installed in National Harbor include sculptures by Albert Paley, who made "Portal Gates" for the Renwick Gallery in 1974 and J. Seward Johnson Jr.'s giant, the Awakening which was moved from Hain's Point to the promenade at National Harbor.
The Captain in the Harbor
Milt Peterson's Vision Anchors a Massive Development
By Paul Richard, The Washington Post
"National Harbor's scale is that of a city's. Its cost is in the billions. Already, you can't miss it. It's as if a small Dubai had suddenly appeared in sight of the Capitol dome."
"At National Harbor art wasn't an afterthought. We had art before we had buildings." "The mainstay of this whole project is art." says Milt Peterson.

Doris Colbert Kennedy: Visualizing the Cosmos
Doris Colbert Kennedy's recent abstract paintings dichotomously place her in both the aggressive school of American Abstract Expressionism and in the self-reflective Color School of Washington, DC painters. Her dynamic and cosmic like compositions embody the vigorous push and pull of the one while exuding the mental serenity and self-reflection of the other. Presented by Anacostia Fine Art.

This exhibit, which is now the subject of a new book just published by University of New Mexico Press, offers a rare contemporary look into the lives of one of America's largest invisible and disenfranchised populations. The pictures were taken in fifty different towns across California; they address the day-to-day life of migrant workers and their families, giving a human face to this otherwise forgotten population. The Migrant Project, an indepth photo-documentary (with bilingual text), proudly places the faces and stories of those currently working our fields front and center, providing a present day microcosm for numerous issues surrounding the human cost of feeding America.

IPSO FACTO at DCAC
Paintings and Drawings by Jerome Spinner
March 28 - April 27
Opening Reception: March 28, 7-9pm
curated by Jefferson Pinder, Karen Joan Topping and B Stanley Painting over the anonymous with the obvious is the dialogue Jerome Spinner is entering into with anyone that looks at his work. To answer your question before you ask it; to exert a kind of meaningful control over what you should consider is important. Stenciling the title, media, size and year in block letters onto art works he gets at flea markets, yard sales and thrift shops the label becomes the work. It seems a blatant and simple critique of the relationship most viewers have with a work of art or artifact –the six seconds it takes to read the label. Except it’s not that simple.

New American Paintings
Robert Sparrow Jones and Jamie Pocklington
March 28 - April 26
OPENING RECEPTION:
Friday, March 28, 5-8pm
The artists featured in this month’s exhibit of works were selected by Stephen Bennett Phillips of the Phillips Collection for the New American Paintings publication, Volume No. 69. While time has passed since they were recognized for their work nationally, we at the Long View Gallery were drawn to the strength of their talents.
Robert Sparrow Jones' works are loose and energetic, relying on a bright and forceful color scheme to evoke an emotional response.
Jamie Pocklington’s subjects come mostly from internet photos albums and image search engines. He is drawn to images that have universal qualities that he then collages into new scenarios, out of context of the original photos.

I took these pictures one recent sunset in Washington, DC. The gray tonality adds a moody quality to the images. I like the relationship of smoky greys, flight and brooding clouds.

Article on Scope quotes Washington, DC Gallerist
"New York is not about razzledazzle," Andrea Pollan, the director of Curator's Office, a Washington, D.C., gallery that is showing at Scope New York, said. "I'd like to think there's a little more contemplation going on in New York, a more thoughtful process to collecting."

Heidi Taillefer, Muse Paintings
Heidi Taillefer: Muses and Heroes
April 5 - May 10
Opening reception with the artist: Saturday, April 5
Irvine Contemporary is pleased to present the first US solo exhibition by Montreal-based artist Heidi Taillefer. Taillefer's oil paintings on canvas and panel are an original creative fusion of realism and surrealism combined with popular traditions ranging from illustration and manga to Victorian romanticism. Her striking imagery combines painterly surrealism with the latest cyborg fantasies--Max Ernst meets The Matrix. Preview images.
About the Artist
Heidi Taillefer began drawing at the age of 3, and after a decade of private art lessons, she began pursuing careers in both fine art and illustration. After studying at McGill University, Taillefer dove into the deep wells of Surrealism and Symbolist painting, illustration and comic styles, and all the variations of cyborg imagery. She developed a style in oils and acrylics known for a fusion of mechanical and organic imagery and the appropriation of symbolic styles. Her work has appeared in numerous publications, and she also designs book, album, and magazine covers. She has exhibited her paintings through venues across North America, including the McAllen International Museum of Art and Science in McAllen, Texas, and she is well-known for having designed the internationally recognized image of "Dralion" for the Cirque du Soleil.

REVELATION by Gene Markowski
Recent black and white still photographs by Gene Markowski
April 12 - May 31, 2008
Opening Reception
Saturday April 12, 5 to 8 pm
Gene Markowski's, "Revelation" at District Fine Arts uses the Roman Catholic Church as the springboard into his personal (he is a practicing Roman Catholic) revelations about the church and its rigid stance on such topics as abortion, gay rights, priestly sexual abuse and entitlement, the exclusion of women, and saintly myths. He approaches his subject with a sense of humor without losing the importance of the issues, or that the images are primarily works of art. Without question, his poetic side manages to shine through the issues he touches on, which keep the series engaging. However, the key to fully appreciate the exhibition are the titles of the photographs which are often with a double amusing meaning.
Still/life, the human figure, and self-portraits form an enigmatic series of images that consistently underscore such psychological states as eroticism, ecstasy, revenge, and rejection. The images are intentionally without photographic refinement, but carry a deeply expressive and vital energy that conjures Markowski's personal journey into a visual representation of some of the troubling aspects of the contemporary church today. The human condition which is so deeply wound around these photographs can be read entirely separate from the Catholic question, revealing our own inner lives, shaped by the complicated world we live in. The moral and intellectual questions Markowski poses are the core of the exhibition, and he gives the entire show the lift it needs through his sensibility and salient humor.
Markowski is a Professor of Art at Trinity University where he has taught studio courses for the past twenty years. He is an active artist with many one man and group exhibitions in his extensive career. His work is represented in many private, corporate, and museum collections throughout the United States and Europe.

A Play With Politics
Arena Stage continues its celebration of acclaimed American playwright Arthur Miller with A View From The Bridge. Miller’s story of a dockworker struggling with incestuous feelings for his niece covers all the usual bases of jealousy, distrust, and betrayal, but it also tackles tougher topics, such as illegal immigration and citizenship.To catch on to even more of the play’s political undertones, be sure to read up on Miller’s feud with former collaborator Elia Kazan before you go; the play harshly criticizes Kazan’s cooperation with the McCarthy-era investigators who went on to blacklist much of Hollywood for their Communist sympathies.

Artomatic Comes to NoMa
May 9–June 15, 2008
Up to 800 artists and 50,000 visitors expected in D.C.’s most exciting new neighborhood.
The NoMa (north of Massachusetts Avenue) Business Improvement District (BID) will host this year’s Artomatic, the Washington, D.C. area’s homegrown art extravaganza. From May 9 through June 15, 2008, up to 800 local and regional artists will exhibit their works on eight floors of the Capitol Plaza 1 building, located at 1st and M Streets, N.E., just one block from the New York Avenue Metro station.
Held regularly since 1999, Artomatic transforms an unfinished indoor space into an exciting and incredibly diverse arts event that is free and open to the public. In addition to displays and sales by hundreds of artists, the event features free musical, dance, and theater performances; holiday celebrations; films; educational presentations; and much more.
This year’s Artomatic, occupying 200,000 square feet at Capitol Plaza 1, will be the largest to date. Designed by renowned architect Shalom Baranes and owned by an affiliate of The Polinger Company, Capitol Plaza 1 offers 293,000 rentable square feet of Class A office space, with dramatic Capitol and city views from the upper floors.
“We are thrilled to partner with Artomatic in an event that will bring tens of thousands of people to NoMa,” said Elizabeth Price, president of the NoMa BID. “It is a great opportunity to showcase the transformation that is underway in NoMa and infuse it with the energy and creativity of the artistic community.”
"Artomatic has come back to its roots in D.C. with our largest event ever,” said George Koch, Chair of Artomatic. “We are excited about our partnership with the NoMa BID and their help in bringing this new space to our attention. Artomatic 2008 will have an abundance of exhibit and performance space that will be open to all — from recognized artists to undiscovered talents.”
Registration for artists and performers who wish to participate in Artomatic will be open soon. To stay up to date on the event details and schedule, visit www.artomatic.org and sign up to receive the Artomatic newsletter.

Conversations with Artists Lecture
Wednesday, March 26, 5:30 pm
The impact of far-flung communities on one another is the focus of Robbins and Becher, who call it "the transportation of place." Influences and dislocations that intrigue them include German architecture in Africa, Germans dressing as Native Americans, Bavarian-style towns in the United States, and American-style buildings in Cuba. Robbins and Becher investigate these cross-cultural interactions through photography, film, video, and digital media.
Lecture takes place at the Center, located in the Carriage House, behind the museum. Free; registration required

Crystal Flight Block Party
Crystal Flight lands in Crystal City with 50 airplane statues on the streets of Crystal City celebrating flight.
April 13, 1-6pm
23rd Streeet Between S. Eads & S.Fern, Crystal City, VA
1 Block. 3 Bands. 50 Planes
Crystal City BID Soars with Crystal Flight – A Celebration of Art and Air, Crystal City (Arlington, VA)
New development, high-profile tenants, a revitalized Crystal Drive, award-winning restaurants, energy-filled events, and an epic theater all speak to Crystal City’s evolving character. Couple these exciting changes with one of Crystal City’s most unique assets – proximity to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport – and the area truly is taking off!
To highlight this aviation connection, the Crystal City Business Improvement District(BID) announces a six-month “Celebration of Flight.” This campaign kicks off with Crystal Flight, which brings 50 (fifty) 5-foot-by-5-foot airplane statues (25 fighter jets and 25 vintage planes) to the streets of Crystal City in April 2008.
Each Crystal Flight plane is sponsored by an area business, designed and decorated by local artists, and then placed throughout Crystal City. Aimed to attract visitors from all over, this series showcases Crystal City’s integral relationship with the concept of “Flight,” as illustrated by the proximity to Washington National Airport and the local presence of the United States Air Force, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and more.
“Few neighborhoods have the luxury of a walkable airport connection,” said Angela Fox, President/CEO of the BID. “It’s one of the things that makes Crystal City unique, and we decided to have some fun with it. This will be great for families and aviation enthusiasts everywhere.” Lowe Enterprises Real Estate Group has generously provided workshop space to store and decorate the planes, and JK Moving and Storage, Inc., has partnered to provide critical technical support for the handling of the planes.
The BID continues to celebrate other exciting flight-related activities in Crystal City, such as the recent opening of the Boeing retail store and the expanded partnership with the U.S. Air Force and Arlington Sports in hosting the 2nd annual Crystal Ride – U.S. Air Force Cycling Classic on May 4, 2008.
About the Crystal City Business Improvement District
Established in April of 2006, the Crystal City Business Improvement District (BID) is creating a soul for Crystal City. A public-private partnership, the BID is providing a higher level of service to visitors, workers and residents in Crystal City – driving to become world-class destination in both Arlington and the greater DC region.

Schuman is one of TIME magazine's 100 most important design influencers, and contributor to style.com (the official website of VOGUE magazine), GQ, Italian VOGUE, and other fashion periodicals. The images in this exhibition were originally taken by Schuman for his blog, but are now reproduced as digital prints. Displayed in a gallery setting, contextually reconfigured from fashion documentary into fine art, Schuman's striking images are evocative of the street photography of Diane Arbus or Lisette Model.

In this show Steinhilber uses photographs, sculpture and drawing to explore themes of fluidity, death, violence and desire for control. The subjects of the show are both complex and simple. In the works, foam packing peanuts, plastic bags, and fluorescent bulbs begin to share a narrative that mixes the unnatural with the organic.

ROB TARBELL'S WORK DREW HIGHEST BID AT WPA'S GALA AUCTION
Rob Tarbell, Aerial Rider, 2007
Smoke on paper | 55" × 42"
Courtesy of the Artist
One of my favorite pieces in the exhibition, Rob Tarbell's, gorgeous Aerial Rider, 2007 fetched well over the reserve price. According to Aaron Gallery's Sabrina Reilly, it received the highest bid of the night. If you missed buying Rob Tarbell's work at the WPA auction, go to Aaron Gallery where you can buy another of his works.
Rob Tarbell's work is currently on view at Aaron Gallery until April 2, 2008.
From the point of view of attendance, the WPA Auction was a hit! And from the bidding wars, most likely a big financial success. If you haven't taken a look at the art, you can see it at the WPA's site. A part of the exhibition remains on view at the Katzen until March 23.
The Katzen installed the WPA's Auction Art along a glassed corridor and in two rooms of the museum. A stream of people made their way past each other during the auction to check on the bids for "their" work. It was an exciting night with last minute bids before the whistles closed different areas of the auction. You had to be fast on your feet. The gala dinner ran late and the first area closed within 15 minutes of the stream of bidders. All in all, it was an exciting evening filled with patrons, artists, curators, gallerists and others.

The Five Senses:
More Than Meets the Eye
March 6 - April 6, 2008

Jurors Statement -
Over the many years that I have been curating, creating, discussing and writing about art, I never cease to be surprised at the constantly changing and always surprising quality that is human creativity.
When the Target Gallery asked me to curate "The Five Senses," I must admit that I was a little concerned about the sort of work that I would eventually review for selection. The harsh brainwashing of the post-modernist mafia is a hard thing to avoid, even if you are a rebel against it.
But leave it to the creativity and intelligence of the artists submitting entries to not only surprise me, but also to delight me and open my eyes to a whole new genre of creativity, new media, fresh ideas and enviable talent from all over the nation.
I was floored by the sheer diversity of interpretations of the theme, including a lot of three dimensional entries, which are usually represented by a small number, in a juried call for artists such as this one. Not this call! There was a surprising number of 3D pieces in this call and a significant number in the selected pieces.
Not to say that the 2Ds were not represented; after all, J. Lewis Takahashi's gorgeous watercolors and Thomas Schlotterback's superb charcoal drawing make a very strong presence for the wall works.
But as I write these words, I can't wait to see and get my hands on Sun Kyoung Kim's "Triad II" or "Restriction I." Or see or walk around Anjali Srinivasan's "(Re)Flexion" and Adam Bradley's "Cherubs," or wear and use Gary Schott's "Thought Stimulators."
This exhibition is a triumph of the human mind and talent over those who want to reduce the creation of art to just ideas or wall text about ideas, and it has been my honor and pleasure to have been a part of it.Juror: F. Lennox Campello

WPA's Gala Event
DC Modern Luxury - March 2008
"the WPA's much-anticipated gala on Friday, March 7, at the Katzen Arts Center is set to be one of the city's swankest affairs. Heralded as the most cutting-edge art auction in town, the event features a curatorial cadre hailing from Manhattan to Richmond. Of those picking the pieces, Marc and Sara Schiller of the renowned Wooster Collective will bring their favorite street artists' work and the National Gallery of Art's Sarah Kennel will highlight under-the radar photographers.
The auction will not only put new artists in front of the area's leading collectors, it will also raise much-needed funds for the new microgallery space and the organization's operations costs. "Our benefactors are now founding supporters again," says [Kim} Ward. "There's such a new different excitement, and they get to help decide where it's all going to go."

Patrick Holderfield at Project 4
Pilgrim
March 8 – April 12, 2008
Opening Reception: Saturday, March 8, 6:00 - 8:30pm
Collectors Preview: Friday, March 7, 6:00pm - 8:00pm
Project 4 presents a drawing and sculpture installation by Seattle-based artist Patrick Holderfield.
Drawing from diverse associations and sources, Patrick Holderfield endeavors to create work that requires an emotional and intellectual engagement. His goal is to offer some type of authentic experience inciting the viewer’s contemplation of his or herself in relation to the larger world through the poetic use of both familiar and idiosyncratic imagery.
This current body of work centers around a series of drawings portraying environments that suggest pilgrimage, inappropriate expressions of emotions, transformation and conflict. Using the landscape as a grounding element, these scenes of tragedy and eloquence analogize current political, social and personal happenings. The accompanying sculptures and site-specific installations are seen as an extension of the drawings referencing boundaries and nature: specifically, the space, physically and psychologically, that confines and defines an environment.
"My vision is of the individual setting off on a journey that is both benevolent and malevolent and where the two are not so clear," says Holderfield. "It is also what’s found along the way"
Patrick Holderfield holds a BFA from State University College in Buffalo NY. His work has been featured in solo and group exhibitions across the Pacific Northwest including the Tacoma Art Museum, Frye Art Museum and James Harris Gallery in Seattle. His work is in collections including the Tacoma Art Museum, Altoids Curiously Strong Collection, and the City of Seattle.

Murals DC / Artist Opportunity
Budget: $3,000-$12,500 per mural
Deadline: Friday, March 21, 2008 at 7 pm
The DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities (DCCAH) in collaboration with the Executive Office of the Mayor (EOM) and DC Department of Public Works (DPW) seek artists, artist teams and youth organizations to design, create and install aerosol murals or aerosol-inspired murals in identified locations throughout the District of Columbia for a new project entitled Murals DC.
Murals DC has been created to replace illegal graffiti with artistic works, to revitalize sites within the community and to teach young people the art of aerosol painting. The goal of this initiative is to positively engage the District's youth by teaching proper art techniques, providing supplies, and a legal means to practice and perform their skill in a way that promotes respect for public and private property and community awareness. Site selection is based on areas of the District with high incidence of illegal graffiti as identified by the DPW, Mayor's Office of Community Relations and Services (MOCRS) and other agencies. Each mural will reflect the character, culture and history of the neighborhood.
