"Mundanity"
August 30 - September 24
Opening Reception: Tuesday, August 31, 6-8:pm
Eight sculptors:
Brent Crothers
Steven Dobbin
Mimi Frank
Breon Gilleran
Steve Jones
Ryan McKibbin
Betsy Packard
Megan Van Wagoner
Curated by:
Beverly Ress
"Mundanity" looks at sculptural objects that seem familiar in an everyday sense. Some are made of thrown-away materials - paint can lids, old garden hoses or cast-off tools; others are representations of common objects, re-made in traditional sculptural materials - a plaster form with gold leaf, cast glass potatoes, an iron and candy in cast iron, and wooden limbs.
All of the artists work with the history that even the most basic objects accrue, uncovering meaning and delight in the quotidian materials and mundane moments that make up our daily lives.

The Ninth Annual Page-to-Stage Festival 2010
The Ninth Annual
Page-to-Stage Festival 2010
The Page-to-Stage festival is made possible by The Morris and Gwendolyn Cafritz Foundation.
September 4–6 (Saturday–Monday)
2 p.m.-10 p.m. each day
Venues throughout the Kennedy Center
FREE! No tickets required, limited seating available.
The Kennedy Center hosts its ninth annual Page-to-Stage festival, featuring more than 40 D.C.-area theater companies. This three-day event offers free readings and open rehearsals of plays and musicals being developed by local, regional, and national playwrights, librettists, and composers.
Don't miss your chance for a first look at outstanding works for upcoming season premieres!
Limited seating available on a first-come, first-served basis.
General admission seating opens approximately 30 minutes prior to each event.
Programs, artists, and schedules are subject to change without notice.
No free parking for free events.
White Noise
White Noise, Tom Block's first play, will have a reading at the Kennedy Center on Sunday, September 5, as part of the "Page to Stage Festival." The reading will take place in the South Atrium Foyer at 7 pm, free and open to the public. http://www.kennedy-center.org/calendar/index.cfm?fuseaction=showEvent&event=XKPTS
White Noise by Tom Block follows Tim, an African American painter, as he struggles with inner demons, an increasingly bizarre exterior reality, and a scantily clad Simone Weil, a historical figure that metastasizes as a figment of his own imagination. Having abandoned true faith, Tim grasps for "faith in faith" and in the end finds dubious consolation, alone in a bathroom.
This play will be produced in February, 2011 at the Burke Theater on 7th St. and Pennsylvania Ave. in Washington D.C., by Stroyka Theater. http://www.stroykatheater.com/

CM Dupré Artist Talk during Alice Exhibit on August 25, 7:00 - 9:00 pm
In CM Dupré's Alice series' (both the first and second series of paintings are featured in her current Alice exhibit at The Art League Gallery at National Harbor) she deciphers Alice in her different stages of life, from childhood to adulthood. Fascinated by the character of "Alice" and who and what she represents, Dupré philosophically, psychoanalytically, and sociologically explores Alice's curiosity and imagination, her iconography, her ability to transform and inspire, and her pervasive existence. “Alice” is in all of us, or is she?
CM Dupré will talk about her work and painting technique on Wednesday, August 25 from 7:00 - 9:00 pm. Alice is featured at The Art League Gallery at National Harbor, located at 120 American Way, Oxon Hill, MD 20745.

Complimentary Snacks and Special Show Cocktail
Brought to you by Mie N Yu Restaurant
German-based stencilist, LECKOmio debuts his US first solo show, Its Not a Trick. His exhibition looks at the relationship of street art within its subcultural milieu. With all its complexities and shrouds of mystery, LECKOmio composes a new series; tying in the culture of people who align themselves with the lifestyle, in juxtaposition with the urban icons consistently associated with the studio, and the street. The title he has chosen for this series addresses the mechanization of his technique; LECKOmio states that he wants to present that stencil work is simply a technique, and like everything else requires “creativity, preparation, patience, and accuracy” to master. His latest backyard and graffiti paintings, aptly titled Graffparcs, are inspired by finding beauty in the decay of urban structures. He states that graffiti, “both good and bad quality, helps keep those ruins alive, that they still have charm and sense, and when you can read the work they become guestbooks of the individual city where local writers have left their signatures.”
The sketching session begins at 7pm and ends at 9pm and is free. 15 special edition blank sketchbooks for sale at the show as well but you are welcome to bring your own sketchbook.
The event is FREE and open to the public.

Painter Matthew Mann combines 14th century imagery with the cowboy archetype in a contemporary adaptation of Giotto'sScrovegni Chapel with The Cinecitta Chapel. Creating surreal and oftentimes humorous paintings, Mann interprets American-ness through the lens of Italian quattrocento painting and the gunslinger as defined by foreign-born filmmakers and writers.

CATALYST: CALL FOR EPHEMERA / WPA
CATALYST: CALL FOR EPHEMERA
Deadline: September 8
WPA announces a call for WPA-related ephemera to be installed as part of Catalyst, WPA’s 35th Anniversary Exhibition, on view November 9 through December 19, 2010 at the American University Museum.
CATALYST will be a dynamic, narrative recollection of WPA’s legacy, showcasing selected artists, exhibitions, programs, and events from its 35-year history. The exhibition, curated by J. W. Mahoney, will include recent and period artworks, documentation in both still and moving media, a series of related performances and public programs, and a fully-illustrated catalogue.
Throughout its 35-year history, WPA has produced a wealth of printed matter, merchandise and, more recently, digital images, and video related to its events and exhibitions. Much of it is now lost, but what survives acts as an informal archive of the organization’s history.
We want to create a ‘wall’ of WPA memorabilia from 1975 to today that will greet museum visitors as they enter the exhibition. Loaned items will be tagged and a loan agreement issued so that they can be returned to you. There is also an option to donate the item(s) to our archives. Ephemera in digital form, including videos of WPA performances and events, will be posted on the exhibition’s website.
Appropriate materials include but are not limited to flyers, posters, postcards, tee shirts, catalogs, photographs, and videos from WPA events/exhibitions. Accepted ephemera will be installed in the exhibition space or posted online for the duration of the exhibition and a list of contributors acknowledged.

Diluted Loss / Keith Ramsey
Diluted Loss illustrates the racism and discrimination that was directed toward African American troops in World War II, both from the United States military as well as Japanese and European troops. The series is mixed media, and was created using organic materials, acrylic and oil paint, snips of news articles and letters from soldiers, and other charred symbols of American liberty.
Ramsey describes the series as “not a pretty picture I painted, but an important one”. Ramsey considers himself to be a documentarian, charged to present the overlooked, historical accounts of African American soldiers through art.
Keith M. Ramsey grew up in Williamsburg, Virginia. The son of an artist, he developed an early affinity for the works of Edward Hopper. Since receiving his Degree in Fine Arts from Virginia Commonwealth University in 1998, he has been working steadily toward his artistic vision of images created from influences of experience, introspective thought and political perspective. His work has been exhibited throughout the Richmond area.
For more information about the exhibition visit The Black History Museum of Virginia.
ARTIST TALKS - All Talks will start at 1pm.

You might say painter Dana Ellyn is never more at home than when she's sidled up to her easel. In her case, though, that's more than a figure of speech — where Ellyn lays her paintbrushes to dry is just across the paint-splattered room from where she lays her head to sleep each night.

Ruptured Walls: Flower Paintings by Corwin Levi
August 6 - August 28
Germination Projects by Pam Rogers
August 6 - August 28
FIRST FRIDAY RECEPTION: August 6th, 2010, 6-9PM
Free food and refreshments. Sponsored by Pabst Blue Ribbon!
Featuring live music by the Duc D'Angelos Quartet!
$5 suggested donation.
Corwin Levi's flower paintings transport the viewer into a vortex of nostalgic, youthful wonderment. The fantastical imagery of his work is so visually commanding that the intensity of dreams, ideas, and space are literally punched through the canvas.
Pam Rogers' work propels viewers into a nurturing, cocoon-like state of being. Using the natural world as a set focus, both her paper based and sculptural installations evoke a sense of their own potential for organic growth in the viewer. The quite nature of plants and vegetation transcend the canvas and become something of an unrequited mentor, demonstrating patience, empathy, and the innate struggle to survive.

A Natural Response: The Art of M.M. Pipkin

Saturday, September 11
Free with admission
All Talks will start at 1pm.Hear Keith Ramsey speak about the passion and inspiration behind this art series. Learn how Mr. Ramsey created more than just a work of art, but an educational tool to about American history.
Diluted Loss illustrates the racism and discrimination that was directed toward African American troops in World War II, both from the United States military as well as Japanese and European troops. The series is mixed media, and was created using organic materials, acrylic and oil paint, snips of news articles and letters from soldiers, and other charred symbols of American liberty.
Ramsey describes the series as “not a pretty picture I painted, but an important one”. Ramsey considers himself to be a documentarian, charged to present the overlooked, historical accounts of African American soldiers through art.
Keith M. Ramsey grew up in Williamsburg, Virginia. The son of an artist, he developed an early affinity for the works of Edward Hopper. Since receiving his Degree in Fine Arts from Virginia Commonwealth University in 1998, he has been working steadily toward his artistic vision of images created from influences of experience, introspective thought and political perspective. His work has been exhibited throughout the Richmond area.

This initiative provides free spaces for artists and organizations to showcase and sell their goods, while also offering District citizens free and public art. A press conference to announce the new art happenings in and around the Washington E. Convention Center took place today and you can see a preview of some of the art in the windows at my Artravelin Flickr set.
