The Fridge is pleased to announce the first exhibition of 2011, a solo exhibit by Laura Elkins entitled White House Negligee, aselectionfrom The White House Collection, self-portraits as American First Ladies

Laura Elkins began The White House Collectionin 2000 shortly after moving to Washington and touring the White House, where shesaw the collection of official portraits of First Ladies. Embracing First Lady imagery, Elkins creates self-portraits that are deeply personal

while inherently historical and political. In this latest development of The White House Collection, Elkins uses a dressing table as aprop to reflect large-scale, self-portraits as First Ladies in various states ofnglige. One prop led to another, including typical dressingroom accessories such as lipstick, lingerie, pistols, and the Pope. The exhibit includes both large and small oil paintings, as well as a

limited-edition print series that will be available only during the exhibit.

Director, Center for Educational Freedom.

Health care is the budget buster at the federal level, but K-12 education is what's poised to bankrupt state and localgovernments. Spending on public education eats up around half of the general budget in most states, and it's by far the

priciest single item. For every dollar raised by state and local governments for Medicaid, three dollars go to K-12schooling. As a result, combined state budget gaps in the high tens of billions of dollars are predicted through at least2012.

That's the immediate problem. Just over the horizon, things look worse. State public-employee pension systems arefacing a trillion-dollar shortfall in their commitments, driven in large part by the massive costs of public-school employeebenefits.

So exactly how bad is the education spending crisis? Is there anything we can do to avoid huge state and local taxincreases or a serious decline in the breadth and quality of educational services?

Join us for a discussion of themost important state and local spending issue of 2011 ... and many years to come.

America's Next Chapter(ANC) is about your childrens children and the consequences of our currentgovernments actions on theirfuture.

Is there a brighter future for the next generation?

New York Timescolumnist Bob Herbert suggests that America has blown numerous opportunities over the

past decade to be great. America has not taken lead on a vast cooperative effort domestically, internationallyto combat terrorism and lay the groundwork for a more peaceful world, American has not secured our best

talent to rebuild historic cities with major renovation, and America has not corrected, by drastic means if

necessary, the faults in our economic system.

Tavis Smiley will pose some of Americas most challenging questions in a televised symposium featuring eight

of the nations most influential thinkers, entertainers, politicians and business leaders Cornel West, David

Frum, Dana Milbank, Arianna Huffington, Helene Cooper. Questions will include how does each American do

his or her part to help us escape the reliance on fossil fuels? Are we becoming more and more accustomed to

a sense of helplessness i.e. Katrina and the gulf oil spill? How do we rebuild cities with empty homes and no jobs? When does economic recovery reallyhappen? Have we become a nation that is good at destroying

things i.e. school programs, health services, libraries and the salaries that go with them as states and

cities face their worst cash squeeze since the Great Depression?

We have some work to do my friends and todays panel represents the individuals at the forefront for change.

Our journey to a brighter future begins now and todays conversation will provid e the information you need

wrestle with and evoke change.

Was Orwell Right?The Dark Side of the Internet

Who really benefits from the internet and

social media technology? Evgeny Morozov

delves into this question in his new book, Net

Delusion: The Dark Side of the Internet. He

argues that, contrary to common belief, this

new technology often empowers Big Brother

far more than the individual. It is not the

young protestors and dissidents but rather the

regimes in Teheran and Beijing that are the

Web's greatest beneficiaries.

Please join us on Thursday, January 13, for a

spirited conversation with Evgeny Morozov andSusan Glasser, Editor-in-Chief ofForeign

Policy,to be followed by a cocktail hour tocelebrate the publication ofNet Delusion.

1358 Florida Avenue NEWashington, DC 20002(202) 588-8750

Cordy Ryman: WindowboxingBrandon Morse: High Pressure System

January 15 March 5, 2011

Conner Contemporary Art is pleased to present two concurrent solo exhibitions featuring painted

sculptural assemblages by Cordy Ryman and real-time generative digital work by Brandon Morse.

In Cordy Rymans first solo exhibition with the gallery, he presents a new series of playful works

created with paint, wood, metal, Velcro and scraps recycled from his studio floor. Ryman, whose New

York solo show was identified this fall as one of the sleepers of the season by Roberta Smith, is

known for continuous experimentation in constructing, altering, and reconstructing painted geometricforms.

As Ryman intuitively responds to the contours and material qualities of his media, he envisions the

eventual habitation of his works on surfaces in architectural environments. The show title,

Windowboxing (i.e., the solid border that wraps around a tv image when a widescreen picture is refit

into a narrower format), suggests how the artists adaptive process may shape our perceptual

experience. Rymans installations demonstrate this point. In Windowboxing, an expansive pattern of

rectangular wood frames climbs across the surface of the longest wall inside the gallery, and, outside,

in Kamco Wave, an array of boards wraps around a corner to engulf part of the courtyard. Each of

these sculptures effects an improbable monumental presence in its context, challenging our ordinary

sense of proportion and altering our perception of space.

Conner Contemporary Art is located in the historic H Street Corridor/ Florida Avenue Arts district.

Gallery hours: Tuesday - Saturday 10-5pm.

The word "Biomorphic" is a term commonly referred as organic, abstract shapes derived from

biology or living organisms. The word, "bio", means life; and "morphic", meaning transformation.In an art sense, it is a focus on the power of natural life and use of organic shapes & line work. As

a person and artist, it was only natural for me to be inspired by life, with great emphasis ontransition. Living in New York, I see life in an urban state of mind capturing the world in 360

degree hyper views. Everyday, I am surrounded by culture, bustling streets, speeding traffic to

buildings being torn & built back up in an instant.

My view of the world is a product of the past colliding with the present. I aim to expose theemotional side of the city streets pushing the final image to abstraction & constructing a new view

of the world. Each piece represents a world full of ambition, energy and movement. I aim torecreate the world through multiple perspectives captured in various time frames. My artwork is

greatly inspired by the world, but hidden between the layers is a narrative of life. My art is a prismof life, beauty and transformation.

I expose the beautiful complexities of being human.

Life is Art.

Show end date: February 16
