The Medium is the Message

jodi / Paul Martin Wolff
November 7 – 30, 2008

Opening Reception: Friday, November 7, 6-9pm
Artists’ Talk: Saturday, November 8, 2-4pm

Paul Wolf, Twist, lemon poured glass, 30"x5"x6"

jodi, Symphony, mixed media on panel, 47"x80"

The paintings and sculpture in this show were born of the sophistication, simplicity and elegance of two artists whose work needs no message. For jodi and for Paul Martin Wolff, who came to art later in life, form and texture reign. And, in this exhibition, the ying and yang of their work is harmonious: black and white, smooth and textured, opaque and luminous.

For jodi, creating textured surfaces with environmentally safe materials is a noble pursuit and for Wolff, it’s all about delving into the medium he uses. When not making art, Wolff enjoys the challenges of life as a successful attorney, and jodi gives seminars to artists across the country. Both have exhibited their work at Zenith Gallery for years, and their pieces are in private and corporate collections across the US.

Thursday October 23, 4 pm
Lamond Recreation Center, 20 Tuckerman Street, NE
Event is Free and open to the public


The Lamond Recreation Center is the first LEED® Silver Certified building in the District and features a host of after school programs and activities for students from surrounding schools.

In partnership with the DC Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR), the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities (DCCAH) announces the installation of a mosaic mural by DC public artist G. Byron Peck, City Arts, LLC. Located at the intersection of Kansas Avenue and Tuckerman Street, NE, Washington, DC, Lamond is designed to revitalize and enhance the mind, body and spirit of the users and the surrounding urban community. It is also designed to provide the neighborhood with an environmentally efficient recreation facility, the first LEED Silver Certified facility built by DPR.

Utilizing sustainable and recycled materials, the 12 by 16 foot mosaic mural enhances the facility’s unique characteristics and highlight activities within the community. It contains references to native plant life, sports and multigenerational relationships that are reflected within the community.

G. Byron Peck, City Arts LLC, has created more than 20 high-profile public murals, mosaics, and other artworks, mostly located in Washington, DC. In April, Peck received First Prize for Creative Use of Mosaic in Commercial Project at the International Spectrum Awards in Miami. The project, funded by the DCCAH, involved four 300-foot long mosaic sections spanning the walls of the 12th Street Tunnel where it joins Maine Avenue, SW, also known as the Southwest Gateway.

The Lamond Recreation Center mosaic mural is made possible through the generous funding from the Department of Parks and Recreation and commissioned by the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities.

Peter Saul: A Retrospective

October 17, 2008 - January 4, 2009

The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts (PAFA) is the only East Coast venue for the most comprehensive survey of Peter Saul's work ever to appear in the United States. Peter Saul: A Retrospective will be on view in the PAFA’s Samuel M. V. Hamilton Building, Fisher Brooks Gallery.

Peter Saul has challenged viewers and the art world with his hilarious yet transgressive figure paintings. Unafraid to tackle difficult political subjects or examine both the individual or national psyche, Saul is one of the most influential and divisive artists of his generation. Organized by the Orange County Museum of Art and curated at PAFA by Curator of Modern Art Robert Cozzolino, Peter Saul: A Retrospective is the first major American survey of Saul’s work, featuring 50 paintings and drawings from 1958 to the present, including large-scale “historical epics,” satires of art history, and several of Saul’s most recent paintings addressing World War II and the war in Iraq. The PAFA presentation will include material not shown at other venues, borrowed directly from the artist, including several working sketches and Clemunteena Gweenburg (1971) from his scathing series of Art World Portraits. Saul will also debut a painting, currently in progress, inspired by Thomas Eakins’s Portrait of Dr. Gross (The Gross Clinic) this Fall.

Regime Change Starts At Home

October 18 to December 06, 2008

I went to the opening at Irvine Contemporary tonight to see the talents of Shepard Fairey, Al Farrow and Paul D. Miller (DJ Spooky). The exhibition is a knock out! The presence of special security police at tonight's reception added to the feeling of angst depicted by some of the artwork. Al Farrow's cathedral and reliquary, made of guns and bullets blended an eerie fascination of religion and weapons with surreal beauty and austerity. The (trigger finger) reliquary points a scathing finger at the rewards of power. Standing in the space with these three artists works is almost overwhelming. Theirs is the visual power to transport the viewer to new perceptions, to questions, to awareness.

From Wired "The whole concept of 'Obey' was getting people to question their obedience," said Fairey. "Now I'm trying to react to what's going on around me in a way that is constructive."

Francis Bacon at Tate Britain

11 September 2008 - 4 January 2009

Tate Britain's marvelous retrospective gives us a haunting vision of life stripped to the bone, a sense of macabre desolation.
"He is the single greatest artist that Britain has produced in the hundred years that have passed since his birth in 1909. There is no great secret to his success. Francis Bacon is quite simply the most extraordinary, powerful and compelling of painters."

CRYSTAL ART

Today the Crystal City Business Improvement District unveiled their latest creative endeavor, Art Walls at the Hyatt Regency in Crystal City, VA. As Crystal City's curator, the BID employs light, art, and design to transform the way people see, perceive and experience the area. The new program infuses color and character into the textures and surfaces of Crystal City to brighten and energize Crystal City's gateways and gathering places. The Art Walls collection includes three projects: Radiance, Prism and Ellipsis.

Embraced by Crystal City commercial property owners, the first corporate Art Wall is a partnership involving Gould Property Company, the Airport Hyatt and Concord Residences. Paintings from Anne Marchand's Ellipsis Series were selected for the first Crystal City Art Wall. Twelve of the artists most colorful abstracts are enlarged and direct UV printed onto ten-foot square Dibond panels then mounted onto the back wall of the Hyatt Regency Hotel. Clearly visible from the Concord Residencies and streetscape, the vibrant work adds flavor and spirit to the area.

Slideshow of the art installation.

Crystal City is a canvas, where Crystal City Business Improvement District acts as a curator - matching spaces with artists. The BID aims to infuse walls with color and character while highlighting area assets as well as the talents of local artists.

This is what shines in good architecture....a grand implementation of geometry and symbolic design. Ayers Saint Gross has designed The Vedanta University to be built in three phases for 100,000 students.

DIY City Mag

Focuses on Washington, DC in the October 2008 Online Issue

DIY City is an online magazine that celebrates the independent artist and the DIY spirit. The idea for the mag grew out of a need to find art supplies and resources in New York City. NYC was a natural pick for our first issue (Feb 2008) as it seems that just about everyone moonlights doing some type of creative work. DIY, or do-it-yourself, has a broad range of meanings. For us it represents the creative spirit of individuals making things in a move away from mass production. Some of the DIYs we’ve met make wares to give or trade with others, while many others make them to sell in the ever growing DIY marketplace.

Cheeseburger and Sushi / Brandon Hill

Solo show of Brandon Hill through October 22

Art Whino presents Cheeseburger Sushi, a playful juxtaposition of forms and ideas by artist Brandon Hill. In this solo exhibition Brandon infuses his funky style into a charged cross representation of the modern vs. the traditional, the Eastern vs. the Western, and the image vs. its physicality.Touting the Cheeseburger as the “ambassador” food item of Americanism , Brandon playfully asserts that it is comparable in that sense to the way Sushi is viewed with an association to Japanese-ism. The two, he explains, “serve the same purpose in their level of respective popularity as well as status.” This core concept is the underlying connection within his various works that all incorporate “a fun mix of ideas that could be considered traditional by one culture” and new to another. This show promises to be eye candy for everyone; incorporating 2D works, sculpture, designer vinyl, furniture art, light installation, and (of course) tasty treats, all in Brandon Hill’s unique and light hearted style.

Artists' Talk: Saturday, October 4, 3:00 - 5:00pm

Canadian-born painter Renèe duRocher and sculptor Mary-Ann Prack share more than their native country, including a contemporary style inspired by the past and a penchant for abstract figurative art, painted in earth tones with vivid colors and linear grace. Where they differ in this show, is that duRocher's figures evoke a sense of modern society's activity and purpose while Prack's seems timeless and spiritual.
