John D. Podesta of the Center for American Progress, Douglas Holtz-Eakin of the American ActionForum, and Al Hunt of Bloomberg invite you to join us for a debate on foreign policy and the U.S.strategic approach toward Iran.

Iran lies at the center of a geopolitical hotspot. Situated between Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan,Iran controls vast oil reserves, a sizable military force, and most notably, a robust uranium enrichmentprogram. The country has been the target of international sanctions for decades, and protests in2009 revealed deep dissatisfaction among Iranians with their government. Should the U.S. continueinternational pressure and increased sanctions against Iran or focus on a military solution? Can anIranian nuclear weapon be prevented? What role should America play in the transition to a peacefulIranian democracy?

Please join us as Brian Katulis, Senior Fellow at the Center for American Progress, and Reuel MarcGerecht, Senior Fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, engage in lively discussionand debate on a sensible foreign policy solution to Iran.

In the years since September 11, 2001, media reports claim that so called homegrown terrorism has increased in

the U.S. A recently released Bipartisan Policy Center report indicates that U.S. authorities failed to realize that a

group of Somali-American youths traveling from Minnesota to Mogadishu in 2008 to join extremists was not an

isolated issue. Instead, the movement was one among several instances of a broader, more diverse threat that has

surfaced across the country. How serious a threat is homegrown terrorism in the U.S.? How has the U.S.

government reacted to the prospect of homegrown terrorists? What, if any, civil liberties have been traded away to

combat this alleged threat?

The following are our esteemed Panelists:

Laura K. Donohue, Ph.D., J.D. Associate Professor of Law at Georgetown Law, and a faculty affiliate of

Georgetowns Center on National Security and the Law.

Michael German, Esq. Policy Counsel for the American Civil Liberties Unions Washington Legislative Office

VSA presents a conversation with AimeeMullins on innovative thinking, art, and

disability, moderated by Kristen Hileman,

curator of contemporary art at the

Baltimore Museum of Art.

Aimee Mullins is a record-setting track star, a fashion muse, and a magnetic filmpresence. She is also the owner of more than a dozen pairs of prosthetic legs,many of which have been exhibited in museums. By challenging the conventional

ideas of disability and beauty, Mullins boldly re-imagines the body's physical andartistic potential.

Several of Mullins' prosthetic legs - including the hand-carved wooden setdesigned by Alexander McQueen detailed at right - will be on display the eveningof the talk.

Patti Marxsen will read from her collection of short stories, Tales from the Heart of Haiti, published earlier this year by Educa

Vision, the premier Haitian-American publishing firm in the U.S.

Marxsen, who came to know Haiti in the 1990s through her association with Haitis Hospital Albert Schweitzer, speaks of the

impetus for her stories as my fascination with Haiti as a nation, a culture, and a land of contrasts dependent on foreign aid. I began

with the unfulfilled promise of Haitian Independence from France, in 1804, of Haiti as the first black republic prepared to control

its own destiny in the wake of a stunningly successful slave revolution.

In her stories, Marxsen presents a complex perspective of the Haitian people by writing of their interactions with those who come

from somewhere else and try to help. As we have seen in the months since the Earthquake of January 12, 2010, Haiti overflows

with expatriates and missionaries. But how much do foreign helpers see and know? Only when we allow ourselves to enter into

that mysterious world of Haitian feeling, Haitian spirituality, Haitian loss, and Haitian violence do we begin to understand the

boundaries and the connections, Marxsen says. I have written these stories with the hope of understanding that particular

otherness that is sadly, beautifully, wildly, and proudly Haitian.

In addition to her reading, Marxsen will address the current situation in Haiti by delineating the most urgent needs and by sharing

her views on how international organizations can best help to meet those needs by deepening their understanding of Haitian

history and culture. In particular, she will raise questions about how NGOs and the Interim Commission for the Recovery of Haiti,

co-chaired by former President Bill Clinton and Haitian Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive, have helped or hindered progress. I

always go back to an invaluable piece of advice from the co-founder of Hospital Albert Schweitzer, Gwen Mellon. Never forget, you

are a guest in this country. With this advice in mind, Marxsen adds, Guests behave differently than saviors.

Patti Marxsen is a former French teacher and has served as a communications manager in several non-profit organizations in New

England, including a Boston-base peace and justice institute. Her Haiti-related writings have been published in the Caribbean

Writer, The French Review, theJournal of Haitian Studies, New Century Voices, and the Womens Review of Books. In addition to

Tales from the Heart of Haiti, she is the author ofIsland Journeys: Exploring the Legacy of France (2008), which includes an

essay on Haiti. She is also a board member of the Haitian Studies Association and has played an active role in organizing the

annual conference at Brown University, November 11-14, with the theme of Haiti, History, and Healing: Facing the Challenges

of Reconstruction. Marxsen lives in Switzerland with her husband, a retired surgeon.

Since President Obama's 2009 disarmament speech in Prague, nuclear nonproliferation has been at the forefront of the

current administration's foreign policy. One of the key administration arguments made in favor of concluding a New

START agreement is that it will help promote nonproliferation by fulfilling the requirement of the Nuclear Nonproliferation

Treaty (NPT) i.e., that the superpowers make progress toward nuclear disarmament. Yet, as nuclear technology spreads

both for civilian and illicit military purposes, it is hardly clear if the goal of nuclear nonproliferation can be reached withoutadditional, new initiatives in addition to those the administration has already launched.

Recently, the House Committee on Foreign Affairs and the House Subcommittee on Terrorism, Nonproliferation and

Trade held hearings to examine how sound U.S. and international nuclear nonproliferation controls are and how the U.S.

might upgrade its nuclear nonproliferation restraints to address these new threats. What nuclear nonproliferation threats

does Congress believe need to be met with new initiatives, and what might these new approaches be?

Join us for a panel discussion on these issues with Edward A. Burrier, Professional Legislative Staff for Rep. Ed Royce,

Ranking Member of the House Subcommittee on Terrorism, Nonproliferation and Trade; Don MacDonald, Majority Staff

Director for the House Subcommittee on Terrorism, Nonproliferation and Trade; and Henry D. Sokolski, Executive Directorof the Nonproliferation Policy Education Center. John Noonan, Policy Advisor at the Foreign Policy Initiative, will

The America Project: utopia

Part 1 of an ambitious black and white photography project by this

CalArts graduate including 36 images documenting road trips taken

by the artist across the country over the past several years. Images

capture cultural markers of American history such as the Biosphere in

Oracle, Arizona, Ponce de Leon's Fountain of Youth in St. Augustine,

Florida, the duct tape "x" marking the spot of Kennedy's

assassination at Dealey Plaza in Dallas, TX. "utopia", the exhibition,

documents the highest and lowest of the collective American dream.

Essay by Larissa Leclair. Tan's work is in many public and private

collections including the Hirshhorn Museum & Sculpture Garden, the

Corcoran Gallery of Art, and the Albright-Knox Gallery.

Remote

A contemporary photography exhibition of four cutting-edge women

photographers. Featuring Lisa K. Blatt (San Francisco, CA), Lely

Constantinople (Washington, DC), Kate MacDonnell (Washington,

DC), and E. Brady Robinson (Washington, DC & Orlando, FL),

"Remote" refers to the desolate far reaches of the mind and the land

- places hard to reach but rich with reward when found and

discovered. Images of Antartica, compliment hypnotic ethereal

images of the sun and sky. Mysterious pictures of Paris, and romantic

images of Mexico connect and thread the desolation of the desert andthe rich colors of the evening sky. Don't miss this gorgeous show!

Curator's Office becomes a chapel aglow once again next Friday evening as we "venerate theelements" of Eric Hibit's "Picture Cohesion" exhibition by candlelight. Sacred autumnal wine will

be served.

Picture Cohesion explores how the urban environment and consumerism affect the process of

making art. Using bold visual contrasts of color and texture, the artist presents a collection of

made and found objects that are in conversation with each other. With a gifted eye for collecting

and a deft hand at making, Hibit fashions a truly unique visual experience that could be

categorized as a breed of NEW AMERICAN FOLK BAROQUE. The exhibition engages in raw, camp,

kitschy, fruity aesthetics.

The artist's impulse to embellish the work speaks to many artistic traditions that tend towards

pulsating, all-over activity. Medieval reliquaries, art of the Mexican Baroque, Hindu Temples, and

certain forms of obsessive folk art demonstrate a similar impulse to activate an object with

ornamentation. Such pre-modernist comparisons point to the artist's sensibility.


15/62

The artist's preoccupation with boundaries is evident In this exhibition, boundaries between areas

of culture are played with, and notions of good/bad taste and high/low class are conflated. Such

instincts for cultural signs are played against an artistic practice that emphasizes process, craft,

and the hand-made qualities of an object.

Eric Hibit received his undergraduate degree from the Corcoran College of Art and Design and his

MFA from Yale University. He has exhibited at Anna Kustera Gallery, Max Protetch Gallery, andSatori Gallery in New York. He has shown internationally in Giverny, France. Most recently, the

artist exhibited this summer at Geoffrey Young Gallery in Great Barrington, Massachussetts.

The Palestine Center is an independent think-tank committed to communicating reliable and objectiveinformation about the Palestinian political experience to American policy makers, journalists, students andthe general public. Established in 1991, it is the educational program of the Jerusalem Fund for Education

and Community Development.

The Palestine Center brings together people and resources within the American and Palestiniancommunities to educate about Palestine and the Palestinian people's ongoing quest for sovereignty ontheir land, civil and political rights and an end to Israeli occupation.

The need for an organization such as The Palestine Center can be found in the effects of the economic,cultural and political oppression Palestinians have endured and which continues on a daily basis in EastJerusalem, the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, the surrounding refugee camps and for Palestinians world-wideas they struggle to retain their homeland.

Palestinians' ability to maintain their daily lives and strengthen their democratic political system dependson international humanitarian and non-governmental organizations such as The Palestine Center.

Sarah Lindley "Poppenhuizen"

We are pleased to announce our gallery's presentation of this

extraordinary exhibition of Sarah Lindley's ceramic sculptures based on

17th

and 18th

Century Dutch Cabinet Houses. A genre of Dutch furniture,

poppenhuizen were exquisite, miniature houses appointed with all the

comforts and luxuries of the Amsterdam homes they reproduced in every

tiny detail. Lindley's half-scale, skeletal renditions express her interest in the

cabinets' architectural structures, as well as their careful proportions and

design flourishes. Though ostensibly a doll's house, Petronella Oortman's

poppenhuis cost 30,000 guilders in 1670, almost enough to purchase a real

house at that time; thus these follies were clearly not child's play. Likewise,

Lindley's sculptures transcend their role as beautiful decorative objects,

painting an imaginary, yet informative picture of the elite interiors of thisperiod of material and artistic abundance. Lindley creates more austere

poppenhuizen but applies the same obsessive and confounding

craftsmanship found in the originals by making them in clay. The results are

exquisite contemporary sculpture full of rich, metaphorical content.

Sarah Lindley received her BFA from the famed ceramics department at

Alfred University in NY and her MFA in ceramics from the University of

Washington. She currently teaches sculpture and ceramics at Kalamazoo

College in Michigan. Lindley has received numerous grants and awards for

her work and has recently completed a prestigious residency at the Kohler

Co. Factory in upstate NY. In addition to her significant solo shows,

Lindley's original, furniture-based sculpture has been included in

challenging group exhibitions as far flung as France and Korea.

In celebration of Fotoweek DC 2010, Addison/Ripley Fine Art is pleased to present "RV" a new body ofphotographs by Washington DC, based photographer Frank Hallam Day. In his fourth exhibition atAddison/Ripley Fine Art, Day continues to be convincing as a master of concept, technology andprovocative aesthetics. The viewer is at once drawn into the dramatic realm of the RV, curious about itsinhabitants while, at the same time, kept at a distance by the "gated community" that is the essence of botheach particular RV and their surrounding and often intimidating landscape. Day describes them as,"...overtly theatrical, the foliage surrounding the RV's often looks like a scenery prop...intended to lookstaged, almost dreamlike, half-way between fantasy and reality, exercises in artifice". As such, they share acurrent interest of contemporary photography and places Day in the ranks of its most accomplishedpractitioners.

While the photographs are intended to look overtly theatrical, presenting a staged dreamlike reality, they arenot Photoshop constructions, but, rather, a demonstration of the artist's technical skill. For this body of

work, Day has been on the road, in Florida, with lights and a tripod scouting appropriate RV's that willexpress, "...the night song of a dark American dream; lovely and glowing, yet somehow toxic and chilling."Using artificial lighting and time exposures he alters and manipulates nature with convincing, oftendisturbing, results.

Day's recent curatorial success with PORTRAY, an exhibition of work by Washington area artists and hisinclusion as finalist in Voies Off 2010 in Arles, France mark him as a powerful force in both his home townand internationally.

He was PoetryDaily's Featured Poet on March 30, 2010, so you can sample his eloquence there.

After the reading, we'll have a conversation on translating poetry moderated by SteveMoyer. Don't miss this opportunity to hear a world-class poet.

We'll be at Teaism Lafayette Park, 800 Connecticut Avenue NW, which willbe closed for dining, but refreshments will be served. (nearest Metro: Farragut West,17th St. Exit.) Merci beaucoup to Teaism's Michelle and Linda for their hospitalityencore une fois!

"Writing the History of Conservatism"

Bradley Lecture by Patrick Allitt

At a time of significant change in American politics, AEI is going back to basics exploring the philosophical and historical

roots of American conservatism. One of the challenges of writing a long history of conservatism is how conservatism's

central concept frequently changes. Does conservatism imply deference to tradition and a preference for hierarchy over

egalitarianism? Or, is it defined by its support for a vigorous foreign policy and a free-market economy? Historians of

conservatism face the danger of adopting a definition and including or excluding figures or movements from the past

according to how well they conform to it. Is America's "conservative tradition" real, or is it a figment of historians'

imaginations? Does conservative-history writing raise methodological questions, comparable to the issues raised by

Marxist historiography? Patrick Allitt, Cahoon Family Professor of American History at Emory University, will discuss these

and other issues at the November Bradley Lecture.

"Italy: Beneath the Surface", Fresco Photography by Diane Epstein

(November 2-13)

Opening Reception

Thursday, November 4, 5:00-8:00 p.m.


33/62

Susan Calloway Fine Artswill be participating in FotoWeek

2010 with a special exhibition, "Italy: Beneath the Surface",

featuring fresco photography by Diane Epstein.

Diane Epstein, an American fine art photographer has made

Italy her home since 1995. She has a keen eye towards

bringing to life Ancient and Renaissance Rome, as well as

other old-world cities. Epstein captures an original view ofthe monuments, statues, fountains and the hidden with a

textural, timeless quality. With her own innovative form ofphotography, she revives the large-scale narrative painting and panoramic vistas of another time,

while still retaining the architectural details of today.

Epstein's signature "fresco" style of photography is created using a distinctive technique of layering

multiple images, including ancient sites and the richly encrusted walls of Rome to design a

painterly, textured picture, developing an illusion of shape and depth on a two dimensional surface.

She manages to portray visual ambiguities to allure the eye, with painted pillars, columns and

cupolas that cast depth into the viewer's space.

Rather than seven layers of paint applied to a plastered wall, Epstein's fresco series may use seven

or more layers of photographs taken in old world cities of today, dissolving into elaborate displaysof ethereal architecture and spectral visions of what lies beneath the surface.

Although over the last decade Epstein has exhibited widely in Europe this will be her debut in the

U.S. Some of Italian exhibitions include in Rome at the American Academy, the AmericanEmbassy, the Residence of the Belgian Ambassador, John Cabot University and Al Vicario 31, and

in Umbria at the museum, Il Chiostro Boccarini Rome Luxury Suites has a permanent display of

her work at their newest hotel, Babuino 181, next to Piazza del Popolo, where Epstein's

Photography is featured in each of their suites and lobbies. Architect Fabrizio Magnaghi is using

over 25 of her photographs, including the large-scale fresco images in frames up to six feet tall. Her

sepia images of architectural details and fountains will be displayed at the hotels Mario dei Fiori, 37

and Margutta, 54 in Rome.

Susan Calloway Fine Arts specializes in contemporary art by local, regional, and international artists, antique Americanand European oil paintings, and a carefully chosen selection of 17 th-19th century prints. The gallery also specializes in

conservation framing using archival-quality materials and techniques, and in traditional French mat decoration.

FotoWeek DC Reception & Meet the Artist

Saturday, November 6, 7:00-9:00 p.m.

Sister VixXxen as Marcos | Marcos as Sister VixXxen, archival pigment prints, 2009

Since 2007, Matthew Black has documented the outrageous and provocative social activist

group, The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. Members of this international Sisterhood take onthe identities of 21st century nuns, dedicated to "promulgating universal joy, expiating

stigmatic guilt, and serving the community." Far more than street performers or typical drag

queens, they use the art of drag to raise awareness for the LGBT community, educate about

safe sex & AIDS, raise money for local non-profits, and advocate for human rights.

In Black's engrossing, public-private portraits of Sisters in the Seattle chapter he visibly

captures their transformation between various personas and brings to l ight the deeper,

universal question we each ask ourselves - Who am I really?

Street/Studio 2.0showcases the multiple practices of artists who work across a continuum of sites andmediums that include street mural works, studio works in all mediums, gallery and museum exhibitions, digitalproduction tools, and documentation and distribution on the Web. The artists works--in any medium andwherever they appear--form a dialog with the city and engage us with responses to the energy, conflicts, and

joys of urban life.

Our exhibition last year, Street/Studio, showed how artists working in this new continuity of practice understandtheir works as always being site-specific, made for the spaces that frame them, regardless of the culturalcategories defining where art should appear.

Artists associated with this movement have not only broken down walls but have also removed the dichotomybetween the real and digital worlds. With proliferating photo-sharing sites, artists blogs, and aggregators like theWooster Collective, the Web has become a documentary virtual wall, a global city, a real-time art archive, acommunity studio, and an instant messaging system for artists. Software tools for composing images to beoutput in other media have become as integral to studio practice as the musicians mixing board and multipledigital sound sources.

Street/Studio 2.0further advances a broader view of art today as artists now develop their work in a continuity of

practice spanning works in all forms and locations, digital media and software, and the Web. Street/Studio 2.0presents leading artists who have been innovators in new categories of art, creatively recoding the recombinantDNA of culture into new forms that respond to urban life.

James Marshall (Dalek) has been been constantly developing his post-Pop painting style that abstracts graphiclines and color from street art, cartoons and animation, and the kaleidoscopic visual density of the city. He was astudio assistant for Takashi Murakamis in 2001. Marshall has been in many exhibitions in New York, Paris,London, Los Angeles and with Irvine Contemporary in Washington, DC. He is a graduate of the School of the ArtInstitute of Chicago, and, now lives and works in Raleigh, NC.

Gaia has quickly become recognized for his placement of prints and paintings on the streets in major cities.Drawing his imagery from archetypal animals, personal portraits, and art history, Gaia constructs linocut imagesand drawings that intervene in urban spaces for reflections on the human condition in nature and history. His

studio projects combine collage, linocut prints, and painting, and have been exhibited in Brooklyn, New York,Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Washington, DC. Gaia lives and works in Baltimore, MD, and Brooklyn, NY,and is a student at the Maryland Institute College of Art in Baltimore.

Photographs of Argentina's National Parks

As Part of Argentina's Bicentennial Celebration - New Exhibition Features 20 Photographs

from 12-year Project Covering 12 National Parks

This is an exhibition premiering 20 photographs of Argentina's national parks by Diego Ortiz Mugica featured

in the new book Parques Nacionales Argentinos(The National Parks of Argentina). The exhibition, part of thecelebration of Argentina's bicentennial, will be open to the public November 10-11, 1:00-5:00 p.m., and

November 12, 1:00-3:00 p.m. Kaller Fine Arts will have a large selection of Mugica's works available including

images from The National Parks, Fly Fishing Moments, The Geography of the Bodyand other series.

In the book's prologue, Argentine President Cristina Fernndez de Kirchner celebrates "the extraordinary value

and enormous richness of our land, our nature reserves, and our diversity." The artist's goal in the national

parks project, on which he spent twelve years and traversed one third of Argentina's 36 parks, was to create

"perfectly clear images where you can feel the stones, the sand, the trees and perceive the wind and the cold

... to show the natural beauty" of the parks. Among his favorite sites, the Iguazu Falls, Glaciares, and

Patagonia North.

About the ArtistDiego Ortiz Mugica, born and raised in Buenos Aires, uses photography, he says, to "share beauty with

people" and his work is a way to "shout to ask people to stop and contemplate beauty." Looking and


45/62

contemplation have always been important, especially as a child when a congenital heart defect kept him

largely inactive for the first six years of his life. Following an operation that repaired his heart, and extensive

recuperation, he developed a passion for camping.

Mugica, an active photographer for more than three decades, studied for three years with Pedro uis Raota at

the Escuela Superior de Arte Fotogrfico (beginning in 1980), and also participated in workshops with Ulf

Sjstedt, then director of Victor Hasselblad Company magazine. Subsequently he studied large format

photography with Esteban Marco, thanks to a Foundation Antorchas scholarship. In 1999 and 2001, heparticipated in two separate workshops with John Sexton (who worked with Ansel Adams for the last eight

years of Adams' life). Mugica employs the zone system developed by Ansel Adams and Fred Archer in the

late 1930s and speaks of his artistic inspirations as a trinity, with "Ansel Adams, John Sexton and Edward

Weston as the Father, Son and Holy Spirit", respectively. He also cites as inspiration Richard Avedon for

portraiture and Robert Mapplethorpe for the "effective" way he "took pictures of bodies and flowers."

His work is in numerous public collections, among them Argentina's Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes (National

Museum of Fine Arts), Banco Santa Cruz (Santa Cruz Bank), and Fundacin ARCADE (ARCADE

Foundation). Private collections include Argentine President Mrs. Cristina Fernndez de Kirchner, Juan

Cambaso, president of the art fair ARTE BA, Infanta Cristina
