The Contemporary Museum will introduce a new forum for discussion of contemporary art in Baltimore - New Art Dialogue Series - with a conversation with Dan Cameron, director and curator of the landmark PROSPECT 1 exhibition in New Orleans, on Thursday, March 12, 2009 at 7 p.m. The program will be held at Maryland Institute College of Art’s Falvey Hall. The program has been rescheduled from its original February 5 date.
Mr. Cameron will share his experience curating PROSPECT 1 and the impact that it had on post-Katrina New Orleans. PROSPECT 1 was the largest international exhibition of contemporary art presented in the United States. The critically-acclaimed exhibition included works by 81 artists from 38 countries, presented in more than two dozen galleries and public spaces throughout the city. The exhibition closed in January 2009. Mr. Cameron is Visual Arts Director at the New Orleans Contemporary Arts Center.
Admission to the lecture is $10 for the general public, $5 for students, and free for members of the Contemporary Museum and MICA students.
The Contemporary’s New Art Dialogue Series will present lectures and conversations by distinguished artists, critics, art historians, and curators whose work is defining the field of contemporary art. The series will cultivate critical discourse responsive to the cultural, social, and political issues of our time.
The New Art Dialogue Series is sponsored by the Louise D. and Morton J. Macks Family Foundation. Additional support is provided by Bodil Ottesen.

What We Want Is Free: An Exploration of the Field of Non-profit Visual Arts Organizations
Tuesday, March 3, 6:30 – 8pm
The Goethe Institut
812 7th St NW
Washington, DC
In tandem with Transformer’s current Summer Camp program - a four-week series of creative events (February 7 – March 7) investigating art as action, engagement, social exchange, and interactivity, Transformer presents What We Want Is Free: An Exploration of the Field of Non-profit Visual Arts Organizations. This ninth panel in Transformer’s on-going FRAMEWORK Panel Series will examine the importance of non-profit visual arts organizations with small to medium sized budgets – 'alternative art spaces' and/or 'artist spaces' - and their impact on the past, present, and future of contemporary visual art. Transformer is presenting this panel in partnership with The Goethe-Institut who will host the event in their theatre. Participation is free.
Participating panelists include: Mark Allen, Director, Machine Project, Los Angeles, CA; Wendy Clark, Visual Arts Specialist, National Endowment for the Arts, Washington, DC; Steven Rand, Executive Director, Apexart, NYC; Victoria Reis, Executive & Artistic Director, Transformer, Washington, DC; and Don Russell, Executive Director, Provisions Library, Washington, DC. The panel will be moderated by Ryan Hill, Transformer Board Member, and Manager of Interpretive Programs & Curatorial Research Associate, Hirshhorn Museum & Sculpture Garden.
Questions to be addressed include: What is a Visual Arts Organization (VAO)? How did the field of non-profit alternative arts organizations/artist spaces begin and what were they an alternative to? What are some different models of current non-profit VAOs – how has the field changed since its inception, the culture wars of the early 90s? How do these VAOs educate audiences, support artistic careers, enhance our society? In what ways do these organizations facilitate discovery and usher in new artistic concepts?
The panel discussion will be followed by a thirty minute question-and-answer segment with the audience.

Feb. 27 through Jan. 3, 2010,
The Smithsonian American Art Museum presents New Deal Paintings from the First Federally Funded Art Program in the United States. In 1934, Americans grappled with an economic situation that feels all too familiar today. Against the backdrop of the Great Depression, the U.S. government created the Public Works of Art Program—the first federal government program to support the arts nationally. A selection of paintings made with support from this program will be on view in the exhibition at the Smithsonian American Art Museum. It will begin a three-year tour of the United States in 2010.

Kip Deeds, Angela White, and Tinam Valk
The Alasktic Print Series, Mappings, and Passages
March 5- March 28, 2009
Opening Reception: Saturday, March 7, 2009 5-8PM
Opening Reception: Saturday, March 7, 2009 5-8PM
Angela White, Point Lobos, CA, oil on canvas, 8" x 10"Three artists…three adventures. From Alaska to Mexico, Europe, California and back…three artists merge together to display their journeys. Using paper and canvas as their map, their journeys are drawn by means of relief print, screen print, encaustic, oil, acrylic, watercolor, modeling paste, charcoal and other mixed media. Together they share three exhibitions: The Alasktic Print Series, Mappings, and Passages.
“The Alasktic Print Series” takes you on a journey from Mexico to Alaska through the eyes of Philadelphian artist, Kip Deeds. This project was initially inspired by Utagawa Hiroshige’s 1834 print series, “53 Stations on the Tokaido,” which depicts scenes along the famous eastern sea road in Japan. Deeds’ journey at times traces Lewis and Clark, depicts John Steinbeck’s Travels with Charlie, and moves to the lyrics of Woody Guthrie. A series of 15 relief and screen prints makes up “The Alasktic Series”.
Angela White’s “Mappings” fuses translucent layers of luminous and encaustic surfaces that creates visual depth and density in her work from trips to our west and east coasts. White’s love of natural landscapes reflects a desire to show constant movement and natural rhythm. The seascapes and landscapes are created using mixed media, oil paints, and are occasionally embedded with gold and silver leaf covered with iridescent oil paints.
Tinam Valk’s “Passages” through layers…layers of history, structures, statues, architecture. Tinam has traveled extensively to Europe, East Africa, South America but retreats annually to Hunting Island, SC for a constant source of inspiration. Painting’s fueled through memory or visits to old estates, Valk’s architecture-related paintings originate from modeling paste, acrylic, oils, charcoal, pencil, and pastel.

Elizabeth Gilbert muses on the impossible things we expect from artists and geniuses -- and shares the radical idea that, instead of the rare person "being" a genius, all of us "have" a genius. It's a funny, personal and surprisingly moving talk.

Melissa Ichiuji / Irvine Contemporary
Irvine Contemporary presents Melissa Ichiuji’s second solo exhibition,
Lesser Madonnas.
Melissa Ichiuji, Lesser Madonna No.1, 2009. Fabric, nylon, wooden chair, mixed materials. Variable dimensions.
Opening reception with the artist, Saturday February 28th, 6-8PM. Lesser Madonnas.
Melissa Ichiuji, Lesser Madonna No.1, 2009. Fabric, nylon, wooden chair, mixed materials. Variable dimensions.In her new body of work, Melissa Ichiuji explores new themes that challenge our cultural messages about motherhood, the mother’s body, domestic space, and sexual identities. Lesser Madonnas exposes age-old tensions and dualisms in our cultural symbols of the feminine—Madonna/Mother versus Aphrodite/Venus, the mystery of procreation versus the power of the erotic, the mother in the limited confines of domestic space versus the unlimited sexuality of woman as agent of desire. Ichiuji also continues her challenges to simplistic demarcations of sexual and gender identity in children, adolescents, and adults, often with wry humor and striking visual puns.

1515 14th St NWCourtesy: Curator's Office
Curator's Office introduces the work of emerging artist, Dawn Black. Mysterious and exquisitely painted in watercolor, ink, and gouache, the works on paper present portraits of individuals altered by masks, uniforms, couture fashion, prison garb, ethnic attire, and other random eccentric forms of concealment. The artist was referred to the gallery by Curator's Office artist Jiha Moon. Black's work was extremely well received by curators, collectors and museum directors at this past December's Scope Miami Art Fair and nearly soldout.
Conceal Project examines the practice of masquerade, especially its role in relation to identity. The artworks not only explore the artist's own mania regarding disguised and surrogate identity, but of society's at large by depicting scenes of carefully selected concealed figures drawn in gouache and ink on paper. These figures are all "real" people (none being from imagination) who have been culled from the Internet and various periodicals. Of particular interest to the artist is a disguise's ability to make the wearer powerful through clandestine anonymity and, paradoxically its ability to allow the concealed person to be his or her authentic self. Oscar Wilde once remarked, "Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.

Gallery Talk 7pm / Reception 8pm
Fantastical Imaginings is a traveling exhibition curated by J. Susan Isaacs that originated at the Delaware Center for Contemporary Art. The exhibition will be featured at MAP from February 19 through March 28, 2009, and additional works will be on display at the Julio Fine Arts Gallery at Loyola College.

The exhibition will include the work of: Laylah Ali, Roberley Bell, Paul Chidester, Amy Cutler, Marilyn Holsing, Mark Hosford, John Karpinsky, A.D. Loveday, Caire Owen, Serena Perrone, Hiro Sakaguchi, John Shipman, Ann Siems, and Lee Wilkinson

"We Have The Summer" at Rockn Roll Hotel @7:00 2/15!Alternative / Pop / Rock
http://www.wehavethesummer.com/
New CD titled "Say That Ten Times Fast."As we transition from our former name "Amity", into our new name "We Have The Summer", (which was created after a conversation between our bassist and lead vocals led to discussion about what will happen when he and our drummer leave for college). We have just recorded a new CD titled "Say That Ten Times Fast." It is a pop-alternative sounding album with hits such as, "The Day We Come Alive", and "Leonardtown". Check out our Myspace to listen to our e.p that we have posted!
