In this digital era, much of what is most important to us exists only as bits and bytes.

Modern technology can inspire a false sense of connectedness that alienates us from the

physical world and its interactions. As meticulously created objects, Mordini's fiberboard

sculptures are the organic antithesis to this digital paradigm. With dis-member, an

installation of fragmented body parts and distorted appendages, Mordini explores themes

of disconnectedness, social hierarchies, and alienation.Min Enghauser: Desert Dwell

November 4-25, 2011

Min Enghauser began making photographs as a child; exploring, learning and becoming aware

through photography. For Enghauser, photographs, and the act of making them are glimpses of

timeless spirits, of pure and unbiased realities of nature and time. Enghauser's exhibitDesert

Dwellare all images from the Anza-Borrego Desert where she found that there is a coming

together of the essence of the inhabitants and the spirit of place. Plant with rock, rock with sky,

sky with mountain. These inhabitants speak to each other without words and at their core is

the spirit of the other. Enghauser's photographs are the instruments through which she

discovers and uncovers the truth of this slowly changing landscape of unity, cohesion, beauty,

mystery and fate.

Project 2011: Face to Face artists will discuss their residency and give a personal tour of their studio space andthe installations they created for Artisphere.

Artisphere hosts an international artist exchange with Arlington's sister city Aachen, Germany for the second half

of a cultural exchange. For ten days, visiting artists from Germany will work together with Arlington-area artists to

create a site-specific installation within Artisphere. Their work spaces will be open to the public and will serve as a

visual documentation of the exchange. The first part of the exchange took place in April 2011 when Arlington


4/43

artists spent ten days in Aachen, Germany. The artists collaborated on site-specific installations in the Aula

Carolina, a 17th-century monastery that now serves as a cultural center in the city. The work they created was on

view at Aula Carolina for the week of the exchange, and has since traveled to other cities in Belgium and the

Netherlands. The goals of the exchange are for artists to work collaboratively to create site-specific installations, to

explore the differences and similarities in the artists situations, and to provide insight into cultural work of the

two countries.

Sweet Tides, oil on canvas, 48 x 48

Alison Hall Cooley's work captures the rhythm and the transience of the natural world.She focuses on the memory of spaces in her work, using color to masterful effect in all

that she portrays. By incorporating color fields, shooting and falling lines, andetchings, which overlap and move, she creates compositions suggestive of coastal

landscapes. The dislocation of her interweaving values and color planes are steadied


5/43

by the navigation of her deliberate lines. Cooley, who has described herself as an artistwho has "a deep relationship with the paint," uses knives, spatulas and even her hands

in this tactile relationship. Cooley's most recent works explore the manner in which

natural elements transform man-made structures, revealing the beauty and mystery of

remembered spaces.

Over the past ten years, Alison Hall Cooley has exhibited in Nantucket (annual soloshows), Washington DC, Richmond, VA, and Lenox, MA. Her work is included in

over one hundred private collections, with a particularly strong support base in

Nantucket, where she currently resides, and the Washington DC area, where she grew

up.

Cooley studied at Sarah Lawrence College and continued her education at theCorcoran School of Art in Washington, DC. She is the winner of several awards,

including the Charles C. McDougall Award for Promising New Artist. She has been

featured in numerous publications, including Nantucket Living, The Georgetowner

and the Nantucket Independent, and has been recognized by the Artists Association ofNantucket for her work.

Sweet Tides is on view at Thos. Moser's DC Showroom through December 31,2011.

__________

This study day and concert celebrate the music and life of Giovanni Battista Pergolesi (1710-

36), a figure of considerable importance in 18th-century music and culture. The brief life and

compositions of Pergolesi have remained of significant interest to scholars, performers, and

music audiences.

Beginning with an international panel of scholars on Friday afternoon at Georgetown

University's Lauinger Library, in the Murray Conference Room, LAUINGER LIBRARY ), the study

day will explore recent research about the life, works, operatic milieu of the composer in

coordination with the 300th anniversary of his birth and celebrations initiated by the

Fondazione Pergolesi in 2010. The Saturday concert will feature Pergolesi's Confitebor tibi,

Domine for Soprano, chorus and chamber ensemble and the Stabat mater for two sopranos and

Occupying an entire room at Industry Gallery, the 'PP Tree' installation offers visitors

an atmospheric welcome to the exhibition. Made exclusively from polypropylene pipe

and nylon cable ties, the work pays homage to Washington DC's own iconic cherry

trees, whilst questioning our relationship with and attitudes towards plastics. The

longevity and ready availability of the industrially manufactured materials used to

construct the installation stands in stark contrast to the ephemerality and natural

beauty of the cherry trees and blossoms it emulates.

Solo Exhibition of photographs by Kesha Bruce

Morton Fine Art (MFA) is pleased to present (Re)calling & (Re)telling, a solo exhibition of

photographs by artist Kesha Bruce in conjunction with Fotoweek DC 2011.

About (Re)calling & (Re)telling:

History and Meaning: When is a Story More Than Just a Story?

A good story allows us to make sense of the world by helping us to define who we are and

understand our place in it. In her Fotoweek DC exhibition, titled (Re)calling and (Re)telling,

artist Kesha Bruce offers viewers a contemporary entryway to the rich tradition of

storytelling in art through the use of both photography and collage.

For the past several years, Kesha Bruce has created work using an old collection of

photographs taken by her grandfather during his years as a soldier during the Korean War.

In addition to the many photographs of young African American soldiers going about theirdaily routines, the collection also included snapshots and informal family portraits taken

upon his return home to Des Moines, Iowa. Fascinated by the people and places in each

photograph, these images soon became the basis for two complete bodies of work.

The narratives Bruce recreates in (Re)calling and (Re)telling, are composed of a mysterious

mix of elements culled from the intimate terrain of memory, nostalgia, and the mundane

remnants of daily life.

Also featured at Morton Fine Art is her latest series The Story, comprised of small, intimate

mixed media works on paper which render character and place through the use of

minimalist texts, each work relating to the next like non-linear chapters of a novel that

refuse to settle into a comfortable beginning, middle, and end.

About Kesha BRUCE (France, b. USA):

Born and raised in Iowa, Bruce studied painting at the University of Iowa before going on to

earn her MFA in Painting from Hunter College in New York City. She has received awards

from the New York Foundation for the Arts, The Vermont Studio Center, and The PuffinFoundation. Her photographic work from (Re)calling & (Re)telling was awarded the EnFoco

New Works Photography prize and was included in the traveling exhibition Double

Exposure: African Americans Before and Behind the Camera.

Maryland School of Theatre, Dance, and PerformanceStudies

The 1955 film The Night of the Hunterwas largelyignored upon its release but is now widely regarded as anAmerican masterpiece. This new multimedia production isa historical re-imagining of the making of the film, woven

from the classic screenplay and accounts of the shootingfrom those who were there, including director CharlesLaughton, screenwriter James Agee, and actors Robert

Mitchum, Shelley Winters, and Lillian Gish. The playprovides a powerful new framework for experiencing thisuniquely chilling tale of corruption and evil, in which theforces of creation and destruction do battle with each

other, within and outside of the frame.

Hamiltonian Gallery

1353 U Street NW


Hamiltonian Gallery is pleased to announce the In

Between, a solo exhibition by Hamiltonian Fellow Elena

Volkova. In her newest series, Volkova explores drawing

as a process of perception by pushing the conceptual

boundaries of the medium off of the paper, and into the

realm of space itself.

Elena Volkova presents a series of graphite drawings in

which the subject matter is light. Seemingly fundamental,

her drawings of folded paper and shadows on walls using

a subtle value range are indicative of a systematic

process-oriented approach to drawing, yet the resultspeaks more about the space around the actual drawn

object. By bringing attention to the shadows and highlights

that constitute an image, Volkova makes the viewer an

active participant of the installation, where the act of

looking, perceiving and comparing is emphasized.

By denoting dynamic two-dimensional surfaces defined by

light and shadow, Volkova has investigated the spatial

limits of drawing. The geometric forms in her drawings

present a flat plane shifting between representation and

reality.

Volkova explains, "In this body of work, I would like to bring

the viewer's attention to the discrepancy between art and

reality. Employing the ideas of trompe-l'oil, I am interested

in the threshold between the real and the false, and the

moment at which the two become interchangeable."

Elena Volkova's drawings implement the ordinary and

commonplace, which instantly capacitates the viewer to

move beyond the familiar neutrality of a piece of paper

and delve into its potential.

HAMILTONIAN GALLERY is a new dynamic space in the

heart of the growing Washington DC contemporary art

district. The gallery focuses on innovative works by

emerging and mid-career artists. In conjunction with

Hamiltonian Artists, the gallery will promote new artists,

aiding in their further development. Through our

dynamic exhibitions and gallery programs, we seek to

broaden the cultural dialogue within our modern

community.

The American Future: The Case for Optimism

Bradley Lecture by John Podhoretz

Monday, November 7, 2011, 5:30-7:00 p.m.AEI, Twelfth Floor

Two blocks from Farragut North Metro

PARTICIPANTS ARTHUR C. BROOKS, AEI

JOHN PODHORETZ, Commentary Magazine

DESCRIPTIONThe enduring economic woes of the United

States and their seeming intractability haveraised profound doubts about the future. A

symposium featuring 41 writers and thinkers in

the November issue of COMMENTARYsuggests more intellectuals see a bleaker, more

straitened, less exceptional America in the 21stcentury than believe this country's best days lie

ahead. COMMENTARY's editor, JohnPodhoretz, takes profound issue with this view:

As ever, the hope for the future lies in the

American people themselves, who haveresponded over the past decades in rational ways

to incentives, largely the result of government

policies, with ultimately perverse effects. Now

that the effects of these incentives have beenlaid bare before them, there is every reason to

believe they will make the right choices--andlead their country out of the doldrums and awayfrom the abyss.

VIDEO Alivestreamof the event will be available

starting at 5:30 p.m. ET the day of the event.

Shortly after the event, avideowill beavailable on the AEI website.

Historical Perspectives on International and National Affairs

"The Economics of the Civil Rights Revolution in

the South"

Gavin Wright

STANFORD UNIVERSITY

The Civil Rights revolution has been an inspiration to oppressed minorities around the world and is now an

essential component of both national and regional civic culture. But was it also a revolution in economic life?Contrary to many pessimistic accounts, economic gains for black southerners were real and substantial,

sufficient to reverse a fifty-year pattern of black outmigration from the South. With few exceptions, southern

whites did not lose economically from desegregation; instead they also gained.

Gavin Wright is William Robertson Coe Professor of American Economic History at Stanford University. He

received his PhD in economics from Yale University and is a past president of the Economic HistoryAssociation. His books include: The Political Economy of the Cotton South (1978); Old South, New South

(1986); and Slavery and American Economic Development(2006).

The IMF, World Bank and UN have recently concludedthat the Palestinian Authority (PA) is now able to

conduct the sound economic policies expected of a

future well-functioning Palestinian state, given its solidtrack record in reforms. However, several recent

developments have posed serious risks to the PAs

state-building capacity, and are also jeopardizing

social stability in the Palestinian territories. These risksinclude shortfalls in crucial donor aid and persistence

of Israeli restrictions on the movement of goods andpeople within the Palestinian territories and across itsborders. Dr. Kanaan, Chief of Mission for the West

Bank and Gaza, presents an analysis of these factors

and sheds light on what needs to change to promotegrowth and development of thePalestinian economy.

Dr. Oussama Kanaan is the IMF Chief ofMission and Resident Representative for

the West Bank and Gaza. He has

worked at the International MonetaryFund since 1993. He is the author of

numerous publications which includearticles in economics, particularly applied to countries inthe Middle East (including the West Bank and Gaza), and

the peace process. He holds a Ph.D. in economics from

It was 90 years ago this fall that the first public education film about cancer was released by the American Society

for the Control of Cancer (today the American Cancer Society). Cultural Programs of the National Academy of

Sciences will screen a restored copy ofThe Reward of Courage (1921) together with a live performance of aspecially commissioned musical score by Maurice Saylor. This is the first time in more than 60 years that the film

has been screened in public.

The Reward of Courage was a pioneer in public health education. Released to coincide with the first nationalcancer week, it sought to transform public ideas about cancer by introducing the notion that early detection andtreatment by a recognized physician was the best way to ensure successful interventions against this group of

diseases. It embedded this message in a melodrama that warned against a nefarious quack, invited audiencesto sympathize with a vulnerable woman endangered and a young couple thwarted in love, and told of the story

of a hard-hearted businessman converted to the idea that an industrial clinic could improve worker health andproductivity, increase company profits, and detect cancers.

The movie provided a template for the many thousands of educational films about cancer produced in the 90

years since 1921. It will be introduced by the historian David Cantor who will talk about the discovery of this

film and its historical significance, and Maurice Saylor who will talk about the process of composing a score for

this film.

The Reward of Courage lasts about 30 minutes, and the program will also include a special showing of a Harry

Langdon comedyLucky Stars (1925) in which Harry Lamb (Langdon) meets a huckster called Hiram Healy(Vernon Dent), and mayhem ensues as Harry and Healy try to sell a cure-all in the Mexican town of San

Tabasco.

Timed to coincide with the city's annual photography extravaganza, FotoWeek DC, the Goethe-Institut Washington

and the Corcoran College of Art + Design bring together works by contemporary German photographer Iris Janke

and two American counterparts, Sara J. Winston and Kaitlin Jencso, to dialogue on a common topic: self-identity.

Selected with input from Janke and C|O Berlin, the International Forum for Visual Dialogues, the Americanphotographers' approaches to a universal theme lend themselves well to an exchange with their Germancounterpart. Through the photographs (and in person during the opening reception), the different approaches

initiate conversation and reflection.

Events do not just succeed each other or simply follow a chronological course; they are constantly beingrearranged according to whether they belong to a particular sheet of past, a particular continuum of age, all ofwhich coexist. Gilles Deleuze

About Iris Janke:German photographer Iris Janke has made her own life the subject of her photography, offering it up to public

view. Her work treads a fine line between reflection and intuition, between control and chance. From

innumerable scenes and events she daily records in her visual diary, she must select those images that have the

strongest narrative power, that reveal underlying structures and establish connections. Telling something about

your own life in the medium of photography is difficult if you want to do more than simply talk about yourself.It is a project without a conclusion, a work in permanent progress. Works of Iris Janke (b. 1975) have been

shown at the Rencontres dArles, the White Box in Munich, and at the Galerie Chateau d`Eau in Toulouse.

Excerpts from her photographic series have appeared in numerous publications, including Camera Austria, EinMagazin ber Orte, and on the website of PhotoEspaa.

About Kaitlin Jencso:

Kaitlin Jencso creates photography that portrays carefully constructed moments in time that pertain to private

life entering the public sphere. She was born and raised in rural Southern Maryland and now resides in the

Washington, DC area. Her rustic past has influenced how she interacts with, and documents, the broadercommunity. She has been exhibited in Gallery 31 and White Walls at the Corcoran College of Art + Design as

well as at the College of Southern Maryland. She has received the Overall Achievement in Art Award fromCollege of Southern Maryland and has had photographs published in University of New Mexico Press BestStudent Essays. She is currently a BFA student at the Corcoran College of Art and Design and will graduate in

2012.

Kaitlin Jencso's Artist Statement

About Sara J. Winston:

Sara J. Winston is an artist interested in personal documentation. She uses photography as a means of

storytelling, as a testament to domestic life, allowing the photographs to speak as an optimistic reflection of thequiet observer. Born and raised 50 miles north of Manhattan in Orange County, NY, she is currently pursuing

an MFA degree at Columbia College Chicago. Sara holds a BFA in Photography from The Corcoran College of

Art + Design and is a recipient of Columbia College Chicago's Follet Graduate Merit Award.

In association with FotoWeek 2011, an annual weeklong celebration of photography in Washington, DC.

Long at the forefront of contemporary art, German photography is on regular display in the Goethe-Institut

Washington's FotoGalerie.

32/43

NYC NOW, features new artworks by nationally renowned, New York based, contemporary

artists Margaret Bowland, Kenichi Hoshine, Choichun Leung, Jules Arthur and Jason Sho

Green.

NYC NOWis a tribute to the vibrant exploration and innovation in contemporary art,

highlighting a talented group of artists l iving in and around Manhattan. The exhibition willinclude abstract paintings, figurative works in a variety of mediums, and sculpted oil and

acrylic paintings.

Artists include:

Margaret Bowland (painting; Brooklyn, NY b. USA): Recently in a solo exhibition at the

Greenville County Museum of Arts and winner of the National Portrait Gallery's Outwin

Boochever 2009 People's Choice Award, Margaret Bowland explores problematic and

provocative issues of race, gender, beauty and individuality in her artwork.

Kenichi Hoshine (painting; Brooklyn, NY, b. Japan): Mixing media including oil, graphite,

acrylic, shellac and beeswax, he creates obscured images that suggest mood and

narrative. His most recent series is rooted heavily in abstraction and exploration of surface.

Choichun Leung (painting; Brooklyn, NY, b. UK): Of British and Chinese decent, Leung is

known for her signature script abstract paintings, developed when she longed to write

Chinese characters that she could not understand, and in effect created her own secret

language. This is her first series of paintings sans script as the artist translates her own inner

narrative into a pure emotional gesture in paint.

Jules Arthur (mixed media, NYC, NY, b. USA): Trained in classical realism and illustration at The

Art Students League and The School of Visual Arts in New York City, Arthur explores the

portrayal of the human condition in his art. His work reveals personal moments of pride and

introspection of struggle and triumph depicted in a variety of mediums including charcoal,oil paint, and mixed media incorporating wood, metal, paper and leather.

Jason Sho Green (heavy impasto painting, Brooklyn, NY, b. Japan):Born in Japan and raised in Georgia, Jason Sho Green's cultural wires have been crossed since birth.

His primary medium is sculptural painting with a heavy and expressive impasto surface oftentimes

including dried and balled up acrylic paint to construct a 3D surface. Jason lives and paints in

Brooklyn, NY. He recently earned his MFA from the New York Academy of Art.

RSVP:http://www.wilsoncenter.org/event/rsvp?eid=20555&pid=115

Please join us for a candid discussion with Ambassador Swanee Hunt on her recently released book, WorldsApart: Bosnian Lessons for a Global Security. The volume tells of a well-meaning foreign policy establishment

often deaf to the voices of everyday people. Its focus is the Bosnian War when Ambassador Hunt served in

Vienna and was intimately involved in American policy toward the Balkans. During and after her tenure, shemade scores of trips throughout Bosnia and the rest of the former Yugoslavia, attempting to understand the

costly delays in foreign military intervention. To that end, Ambassador Hunt had hundreds of conversations

with a wide range of politicians, refugees, journalists, farmers, clergy, aid workers, diplomats, soldiers, andothers. In Worlds Apart, her eighty vignettes alternate between the people living out the war and the

internationals deciding whether or how to intervene. From these stories, most of which she witnessed firsthand,

she draws lessons applicable to conflicts throughout the world. Dr. Gerard Toal will join Ambassador Hunt to

reflect on his research and experiences of the conflict from a geo-political perspective.

The Strategic Arms Limitation Talks produced a series of comprehensive arms control agreements between the

United States and the Soviet Union that for the first time limited the deployment of ballistic missiles and anti-

ballistic missile systems. Commonly referred to as SALT I, the agreements were signed by President RichardNixon and the General Secretary of the Soviet Union Leonid Brezhnev at the Moscow Summit in May 1972.

This volume documents the negotiations leading up to the agreement, the internal deliberations among U.S.

policy makers, and reveals the play of political and national security considerations that factored into U.S.negotiating positions and policy decisions.
