    conflict

    Religious liberty and tolerance are among the most central global issues facing us today. Too often scholars have

    approached them solely as philosophical questions or abstract universal imperatives, obscuring their meaning and

    significance within specific religious traditions. Any effort to deepen appreciation for religious liberty and

    tolerance while excluding religious voices is bound to fail. In conjunction with Calvin College, the Berkley Center is

    convening scholars and practitioners from Christian, Jewish, and Muslim backgrounds to examine and compare

    resources supportive of religious freedom and tolerance within their own traditions. The participants are among

    the contributors to a forthcoming book,Abrahams Children: Liberty and Tolerance in an Age of Religious Conflict.

    The conference, made possible through the generous support of the John Templeton Foundation, will conclude

    with an interfaith service in commemoration of September 11, 2001.

    Each of the panels will address the following questions:

    1. Historically, how has your tradition been exploited by opponents of religious liberty and tolerance? Does suchexploitation persist, and why?

    2. What are the major resources within your tradition supportive of religious liberty and tolerance? What do they

    add to dominant secular human rights discourse?

    From the very beginning to the very end of his Presidency, Ronald Reagan was guided by the first principles of the

    American Founding, especially the idea of ordered liberty. In the opening paragraphs of his first inaugural address

    in 1981 much of which he personally drafted President Reagan echoed the preamble of the Constitution, calling

    on We the people to do whatever needs to be done to preserve this last and greatest bastion of freedom

    America. Eight years later, in his farewell address to the American people, the President said that the American

    Revolution was the first revolution in the history of mankind that truly reversed the course of government, and

    with three little words, We the people.

    Under all circumstances, Reagan looked to the Constitution as his North Star. In his State of the Unionspeeches, Reagan referred to the Constitution more than any other president in the preceding 50 years anaverage of 16 times per speech. A survey of his presidential papers reveals 1,270 references to the Constitutionduring his eight years in the White Houseand another 113 mentions of the Declaration of Independence. Inthis forum, with two former Reagan cabinet members and two published Reagan historians, we will discuss howthe principles of The Founding and the Constitution provided the foundation for Reagans presidency and

    ultimately influenced his every decision.

    Project 4 Gallery is proud to present In Quest ofThe Sun, a solo exhibition of new work

    by DC artist Ellington Robinson.

    To Ellington Robinson, painting is a physical, psychological, and spiritual experience,

    which includes a formal process and a narrative approach. By contorting and layering

    collected materials such as travel documents, vinyl, record sleeves, and cassette tapes,

    Robinsons works evolve and embody his quest.

    In his new work Robinson explores the ways by which people reach their physical and

    socioeconomic location. He asks: How do we arrive at our longitude, latitude, and

    altitude? What determines our height, width, and depth within time zones. Robinson

    recognizes that planes, trains and cars, religion, education, and labels are agents in our

    migration, while also acknowledging a celestial agent where the ancestors dwell in

    eternity and parallel universes. He employs interoffice envelopes where the names of

    ancestors, musicians, freedom fighters, and literati are inscribed as a way of stating a

    common thread; or cassette tapes in which the voices are there but cannot be seen or

    heard. Further, Robinson draws from the study of his own location and travels. Railroad

    tracks and floorboards of inner city row-homes are distinctive from the horizon of the

    ocean in the Virgin Islands, visually representing the contrast between the two places

    Robinson has called home.

    Ellington Robinson earned his M.F.A. in painting and mix media at the University of

    Maryland, College Park and his B.A. in English from Morehouse College, Atlanta, GA. His

    work is in public and private collections including The David C. Driskell Center and the

    Jean and Robert Steele Collection. Robinson currently lives and works in Washington DC.

    Please join us for the opening reception of Ellington Robinson: In Quest of The Sun, with

    the artist in attendance. Music by DJ I'Wah.

    Ten years after 9/11, the United States and Pakistan have little to show for the strategic

    cooperation they proclaimed in the aftermath of the attacks. The best way for the United States to help Pakistan is to stop

    pretending that it can change the Armys dysfunction and stop enabling the military, writes George Perkovich in a

    forthcoming piece. Instead, the United States should scale back its presence in Pakistan and redesign its approach to

    civilian assistance in cooperation with more effective national and multinational actors.

    Karen DeYoung, associate editor and senior national security correspondent for the Washington Postwill moderate a

    discussion of U.S. policy toward Pakistan in the post-9/11 context.

    Copies of the new publication, Stop Enabling Pakistans Dangerous Dysfunction, will be available.

    Is Realism Relevant? Conner Contemporary Art enthusiastically says YES with three

    concurrent solo exhibitions featuring new works by Erik Thor Sandberg, Nathaniel

    Rogers and Katie Miller. Six centuries after Flemish oil painting branded the early

    modern age, each of these DC area artists maximizes his or her command of the realist

    technique to express the human condition in contemporary life. Engagement with current

    issues imbues these painters works with the relevance of their own time, while their

    informed references to artistic precedents casts present situations within a historical

    perspective. With its world class Old Master museum collections, Washington is a

    natural home for realism. Representational painting began to make a resurgence here in

    the 1970s, in the wake of the prominent Washington Color abstractionists. Today,Sandberg, Rogers and Miller are at the leading edge of contemporary realism in DC.

    23/84

    ERIK THOR SANDBERG unleashes allegories of our increasingly complex relationship

    with nature through narratives of power and passivity that unfold across panoramic

    vistas in Reparatory Gestures, his fourth solo exhibition with the gallery. Sandberg, who

    has repeatedly demonstrated mastery of the human figure and landscape as a subjects,

    emphasizes the viewers body in the experience of the topographies depicted in the fourlarge concave paintings that anchor this new series. The artist designed curved panels

    to envelope us in captivating expressions of mans manipulations of the environment.

    Sandberg impressed artificiality on each wilderness landscape with depictions of

    intrusive human activity, or vestiges of it, such as a port-a-potty, picnic fixings, and

    guardrails. Whether his characters are engaged in libidinous acts, or immobilized by

    uncertainty, the contexts in which we find them question the ultimate consequences of

    their choices. As the picture planes bend, so do the meanings that play out across them.

    The concave arch of each panel pushes and pulls the ideas represented on it, diverting

    them from a predetermined linear progression into elusive possibilities for our thoughts

    to follow. Sandberg reminds us that our personal and collective journeys may lack sure

    direction or fixed outcomes. Yet, he also suggests, with flawlessly rendered details,

    including glistening drops of nectar and multi-colored birds eggs, that natures powers of

    imaging and reparation are ceaselessly at work, leaving us with hope that these forces

    can restore the balance that man repeatedly compromises.

    NATHANIEL ROGERS presents vivid analogies of human phenomena surrounding the

    concept of crisis - how we create it, deal with it, or ignore it - in When Disaster Strikes,

    his second solo exhibition with the gallery. Rogers superior draftsmans skill is perfectly

    matched to his sharp wit in this series of intimate panel paintings that reveal coping

    strategies, or lack thereof, in the automated, indulgent contemporary world. The artist

    postulates extreme life situations that manifest at intersections and dissonancesbetween behavior and virtual reality. In scenes of real and imagined disasters, including

    floods, fires and unseen threats, Rogers suggests a breakdown in reality. This theme is

    expressed most noticeably in the anxiety contained in his narratives, and more subtly in

    the dissolution of the representational fabric of his pictures. We find a section of the

    interior depicted in Facing Annihilation unexpectedly sanded down to reveal the bare

    wood of its support; and a slice of the landscape background in Nailed, appears to peel

    off, an illusion that underscores the artifice of the picture. As Rogers characterizes

    contemporary states of mind, he also tests his mediums ability to convey the immediacy

    of our experiences.

    The Fancy of Babes is KATIE MILLERs first solo exhibition with the gallery. Relentlessly

    pushing the realist technique toward hyper-realism, Miller creates artistic

    characterizations of the consumer-driven hype that fuels the commercial sexualization of

    children. The artist orders her toddler subjects according to hieratic compositions seen in

    Renaissance masterpieces by Hans Holbein the Younger and Albrecht Drer, among

    others, employing geometric principles from that period to instill her figures with the

    authority of holy, royal or mythological beings. The anachronistic formats interact with

    Millers exacting rendering of the childrens features and flesh, giving them an

    otherworldly quality. The youngsters that confront us in these paintings appear

    disarmingly knowing and self-possessed. This effect is amplified by their attributes, belly

    button rings and bling-bling-binky pacifiers, inspired by Bratz Babyz dolls, and otherwidely marketed childrens products. Even the kids pets - a purse dog, a Cremello horse

    and a hairless cat - appear to have been bred to exaggerated points of curvaceousness.

    In her three largest panels, Miller poses the toddlers full -length figures in extremely

    graceful positions that seem to defy anatomy and gravity. Their precarious beauty

    figures the challenges of balancing childhood with forced adulthood in todays consumer

    culture.

    Conner Contemporary Art is also pleased to announce Plunder, a special *gogo

    projects installation created by Lauren Adams for our courtyard. Adams work was

    inspired by Elizabethan colonial era textiles, such as pirate flags and clothing depicted in

    portraits of Queen Elizabeth I and the explorer Sir Walter Raleigh. Adams appropriates

    decorative patterning from the time of sea based exploration to suggest a critique of

  • 8/4/2019 bMichael Events This Week 9 September 2011

    24/84

    capitalisms colonial past. Pairing pirate flags with courtly dress, the artist asserts that

    pirate culture arose not only from rogue sailors who plundered other ships for

    transatlantic trade goods, but also from the colonizers who 'plundered' North American

    native wealth.

    Included in the exhibition are drawings and a scale model of The Large House of Humanity,

    1998, an unrealized project designed for the bank of the Potomac River in Washington DC. The

    proposed monument has a perimeter of 70 x 50 meters and a height commensurate with the

    Washington Monument. The white metal construction forms the contours of a traditional

    American home with a mansard roof. From a distance this gigantic house appears like a white

    mirage against the blue sky. Suspended from the ceiling inside the house are wire letters that

    read: Since home we have but one, this earth we live upon. With our home in constantmotion we

    are striving toward the stars.

    TRADEis exchange; it means "commerse" and

    "profession." The exhibition TRADEat the 39th

    Street Gallery intends to be all of those things. It's

    about working in the arts, placing the gallery and

    the Gateway CDC at the center of all the things

    galleries do: supporting artists, building

    relationships, creating discourse, and yes, funding

    the continuation of those efforts.

    Based on the concept of an exchange portfolio and

    curated by Phil Davis, Trade brings together eight

    artists who each created a new edition of 12

    artworks. Each artist will receive one work from

    each of the other artists, thus becoming one

    another's collectors and inevitably also one

    another's promoters. The remaining four works in

    each edition are available for sale - all at the same

    price of $250.

    It's a rare opportunity to collect work by established

    artists at such an affordable level. Proceeds go

    directly to the artists and also benefit the Gateway

    CDC, which in turn supports arts programming in

    the 39th Street Gallery as well as working to

    developing the Gateway Arts District.

    39th Street Corridor Exhibition SpaceHello:Mosaics by Liza Linder

    "I've never really gotten over the fact that my

    husband and I put our bodies together and made two

    people. INCREDIBLE." Liza Linder

    This installation tells the story of that process for the

    artist. From the beginning of their relationship she

  • 8/4/2019 bMichael Events This Week 9 September 2011

    28/84

    left branches of forsythia on her now husband's

    windshield as a way of calling attention to herself and

    a way of saying "Hello."

    This is the artists way of giving thanks to Cilia,

    Progesterone and Chromosomes.

    And though the artists story continues to change and

    move through time, the act of mosaic-making sets her

    experiences in stone, well in glass, anyway. In this

    way, the story becomes concrete. It stops moving and

    becomes a place of stillness...a place of

    contemplation.

    The Gateway Community Development Corporation is the catalyst for arts-driven economic

    revitalization of the U.S. Route 1 corridor and the surrounding communities in the Gateway Arts

    Join us as we debut our new art space and first

    exhibition featuring paintings by Baltimore artist

    Randi Reiss-McCormack in the solo space and an

    installation by DC-based artist Matt Hollis in the

    project space.

    harmon art lab (HAL) is a creative collaboration that ties art curator, artist and viewer into

    an interactive dialogue of ideas and engagement. HAL will exhibit the work of two risk-

    taking artists per month working in a variety of media that will help to redefine

    contemporary art in the DC area, one as a solo exhibition, the other as a site-specific

    installation influenced by the space and the content of the artist's own work. This will offer

    prospects for transformation as each artist creates something temporal and unique to the

    space.

    Along with the gallery, harmon art lab will publish a monthly online art paper inviting a

    menagerie of guest writers to articulate refreshing and thoughtful perspectives about the

    world of art as they see it. Unlike a traditional gallery website, the online art paper will also

    include fascinating interviews with area artists, collectors, curators and critics, as well as

    exhibition and installation images every month.

    HAL will be open on Saturday and Sunday during the first week of exhibition, with events

    such as artist talks, panel discussions and private functions throughout the month, and by

    appointment after that.

    harmon art lab is the creation of artists Peter e Harper and Thomas Drymon.

    Randi Reiss-McCormack's work has been shown on both

    coasts as well as in Europe. A prolific artist, an educator, a

    wife and mother of three, her work involves themes of

    domesticity mixed with patterns of pop culture and

    impressionistic vibrancy resulting in a subtle social

    commentary that embraces

    the viewer, incites nostalgia,

    and stirs thought.

    Matt Hollis's work evokes a deep sense of nature,

    transforming and enlarging it into an artificial realm that gives the viewer a new

    perspective on how life interacts with itself.

    WASHINGTON, D.C. (August 30, 2011) INDUSTRY will be launching its Fall 2011 design season with the first U.S.

    solo exhibition of work by innovative British artist and designer, Tom Price. Specializing in modern furniture products,

    sculpture and lighting design, process plays a key role in Prices work which has been bought by international museums,

    galleries and private collectors. Much of Prices work is made using unconventional materials. In fact, he often finds it

    necessary to invent new tools and techniques in order to get the required results from certain fabrications. But Price sees

    this as an intrinsic part of the overall designand narrative.

    "I like to think of myself as working in collaboration with materials, processes and phenomena and that the final physical

    outcome is a product of mutual consent."

    About Tom Price

    A London native, Price attended several renowned schools including the

    Royal College of Art. That background in Fine Art informs his approach todesign, which is typically very sculptural in both appearance and concept.

    The vast majority of Tom Prices furniture and collections are anything but

    conventional. Represented in collections around the world, recently two of

    Prices pieces were acquired by the Museum of Modern Art in San

    Francisco.

    Included in this exhibition will be Prices coveted Meltdown Chairsa series of unique furniture pieces made by melting a

    seat shape into a sculpted assembly of commonplace plastic products using a specially designed heated former. Original

    to this exhibit is an homage to DC. When he visited last spring, Price fell in love with the areas iconic cherry trees.

    Inspired by them, he has constructed a series of sweeping sculptures out of plastic tubing, referencing the shapes of the

    trees and their blossoms. They will combine to create a unique immersive and site-specific installation, taking over an

    entire room of the gallery.

    Prices public commissions include a large-scale sculpture for a new square in the centre of Gloucester (UK) and a

    sculptural installation for a restored Victorian grotto at the foot of the Royal Terrace Gardens, in Torquay (UK). As an

    enduring tribute, Prices talent and techniques are referenced in many respected design books including Desire by

    Elizabeth Honerla; Contemporary Furnitureby Martin Wellner and Andrea Mehlhose; New TalentsThe State of the Arts

    by Hans Maier-Aichen and Second Lives: Remixing the Ordinary by the Museum of Arts and Design, New York.

    About

    INDUSTRY

    21st Century Design Gallery

    INDUSTRY is the premiere gallery in the US devoted to exhibiting the work of 21st Century design. Their focus is on

    designers who create functional art from industrial materials. Offering single-artist exhibitions, INDUSTRY represents a

    broad spectrum of international design trends through imaginative and limited edition works that blur the boundary

    between art and design and redefine the relationship between designer and gallery.

    INDUSTRY MISSION is to introduce and promote designers and their work to US collectors, curators and critics, to

    stimulate the conversation about the role design can play in theirs lives, and to inform the viewer about the importance of

    contemporary design in this time and place.

    INDUSTRY DIRECTOR Craig Appelbaum has been a collector and private dealer. He opened INDUSTRY in 2010 to

    exhibit individual artists work within the frame of an installation, allowing each artist to tell his or her own story throu gh

    site-specific works designed to transform the perception of space.

    "Many of the artists I show are producing pieces that are highly sought after by museums and collectors in the rapidly

    expanding area of contemporary design. In the past decade the field has grown considerably as measured by the

    increasing number of museum exhibitions, international art fairs such as Design Miami and S.O.F.A., and attention by

    major international auctions houses including Christies, Phillips and Sothebys."

    INDUSTRY MENTORING PROGRAM In addition to showcasing established artists the gallery also has developed an

    initiative to introduce the work of emerging designers and design students, offering them the opportunity to exhibit in a

    professional environment and affording them a realistic gallery experience. And while introducing new talent, at the same

    time gallery visitors will have a rare opportunity to view the work of tomorrows designers showcasing innovative products

    from a new generation.

    Photography Show about Adams Morgan opens Adams

    Morgan Day at .

    The show spans four decades in the life of the Adams Morgan

    Community. It is the work of photographer Nancy Shia, longtime Adams

    Morgan resident and former ANC commissioner. It will run through the

    month of September.

    From the anti-gentrification demonstrations to the original Madams Organ

    yippie house on 18th Street; to the Latino Festival Parades on Columbia Road and the

    riots that came down Columbia Road, Shia's camera has been there.

    Included in the photos are neighbors who used to live in Adams Morgan

    and buildings you won't recognize because they've been renovated and

    rebuilt. One specific address depicted is 1717 Columbia Road, NW,

    presently the home of Christ House; it was redone in the 80s after

    its previous use as a squatters' shelter in a vacant building. Adams

    Morgan has a long history as an outspoken community with marches andprotests. Many of the images confirm this history.

    The photographs will undoubtedly bring back memories. Potters House and

    the photographer are planning discussion groups about the history of

    the community throughout the month of September. All residents, past

    and present, are invited to share stories about what it was like

    living in Adams Morgan way back when.

    The 9/11 Arts Project: Studio GalleryAll Members

    Artists everywhere have been moved to create work in

    response to the events of 9/11, both immediately

    afterwards and over the past 10 years.

    By bringing together past and present work, we hope to

    illuminate ways in which art can help us to process

    catastrophe and its aftermath. The participating artists

    have been asked to reflect on their work in this regard,

    and their observations and insights will be included in

    the exhibition.

    Artist's Statement:

    This show reflects my interest in light. Usually, my eye is

    caught by something about the light in a scene. I just have to

    capture it. You can see this interest in light in my sky photos,

    my landscape scenes, and my flowers. The light emitted by or

    shining on a subject gets my attention. So: "First Light."

    Then I quickly take many photos, focusing on the special

    challenge of creating the most artistic composition in the

    moment. The digital revolution is what has made the next

    essential step--artistic fine tuning--possible for me, the

    amateur. At last I can manipulate the natural subject; I can

    crop it and change the exposure to focus the observer's

    attention. So: "Second Sight."

    Much to my surprise--and that of others--my photos do

    capture (and, on rare occasions, create) beauty to share with

    everyone. This is very pleasing and rewarding for me.

    About the Artist:

    I started taking pictures not to create art but to create a visual

    historical record of my life. Since young adulthood I havewanted to visually illustrate my life story, both personal and

    professional, as it has intersected with the wonderful people

  • 8/4/2019 bMichael Events This Week 9 September 2011

    42/84

    who have helped create it.

    My history as a photographer began in earnest after I

    graduated from Columbia and went to Oxford. I started taking

    some photos there and during my European travels as a way

    of creating a visual record. As I continued to travel around the

    world--Europe, Israel, Nigeria, Kenya--as part of my academic

    life, I continued to use Brownies and Polaroids to create a

    personal historical record. When I had kids, I became

    enthusiastic (from their perspective, overlyenthusiastic) about

    chronicling their lives. Every activity prompted many photos.

    Throughout my professional life as a university professor,

    dean, higher education association executive, lawyer, civic

    activist, and business owner, I have taken photographs to

    chronicle events.

    It has only been since Virginia and I married that I actually

    became committed to the art of photography. She presented

    such a wonderful subject. And we lived in exceptionally

    beautiful settings, and we always had flowers. And we had

    friends with wonderful young children who became my

    spontaneous models. The art of photography became part of

    my role as chronicler.

    This show includes diverse samples of subjects and

    settings. There are no children's photos because we decided

    not to use photographs requiring individual releases. There

    are none of my 12,000 photos of Virginia, because she is a

    very private lady. With these exceptions, however, this show

    contains a representative sample of my enthusiastic

    endeavors to explore the art of photography.

    About "The Evolution of Art":

    The "Evolution of Art" series highlights the work of emerging local

    artists in a unique exhibit space. This innovative series brings

    together fine art and fresh-roasted coffee in an intimate and

    comfortable setting.

    Join us to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Peace Corps

    and the 20th anniversary of Korea's volunteer agency,

    KOICA, with a photo exhibition organized by Friends of

    Korea that chronicles the Peace Corps volunteer experience

    in the Republic of Korea (1966-1981) and highlights the work

    of KOICA around the world. The opening reception will

    include remarks from dignitaries representing Friends of

    In 1966, the United States Peace Corps, dedicated to

    volunteerism and cross cultural understanding abroad,

    began work in the Republic of Korea as the country was stillemerging from the ashes of the Korean War. In 1991, as

    Korea continued its successful economic development and

    democratization, it established the Korea International

    Cooperation Agency, KOICA, to give back what its people

    had received by reaching throughout the world to help those

    in need.

    Friends of Korea is a non-profit organization made up of

    returned Peace Corps volunteers from Korea, former Peace

    Corps/Korea staff, and others. It is dedicated to manifesting

    the third goal of the Peace Corps: helping Americans

    Speakers

    John Yoo, Professor of Law, University of California, Berkeley School of Law, and former Deputy Assistant Attorney

    General, Office of Legal Counsel, U.S. Department of Justice

    Nadine Strossen, Professor of Law, New York Law School, and former President, American Civil Liberties Union

    Hosted by Edwin Meese, III Ronald Reagan Distinguished Fellow in Public Policy and Chairman of the Center for

    Legal and Judicial Studies

    The 10th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks is an appropriate time for reflection, both as to

    what the nation endured as a result of the attacks as well as whether the response has been appropriate. In

    addition to providing their reflections on the 9/11 tragedy and its aftermath, distinguished legal scholars John Yoo,

    Nadine Strossen, and Ed Meese will discuss their own and others contributions to Confronting Terror, a uniquecollection of essays from principled supporters and critics of the law and policy of the war on terrorism.

    Edited by Dean Reuter and John Yoo, Confronting Terrorsets the stage for a reasoned and robust discussion of the

    future with a collection of provocative essays examining the meaning of 9/11. Other authors include former

    Attorneys General John Ashcroft and Michael Mukasey, federal Circuit Judges Laurence Silberman and Raymond

    Randolph, Richard Epstein, Alan Dershowitz, Johnathan Turley, and Bob Barr. The contributors present stark

    differences of opinion on issues such as the Presidents authority to detain, the assertion of state secrets, the limits

    of surveillance, the use of unmanned drones and targeted killing, the treatment and interrogation of detainees, the

    Patriot Act, and the peculiar nature of our foe. More surprising, perhaps, are the areas of agreement, particularly

    the fact that the policies of two very different Presidents are remarkably the same. In presenting these contrasting

    views, the editors and contributors hope to clarify the debate, both for our society and for those responsible forwaging the war.

    The Goethe-Institut Washington and the Smithsonians Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden present Lunch

    Bytes, a series of three monthly lunchtime events dedicated to digital art and culture, examining the consequences

    of the increasing ubiquity of new media in the art world and considering challenging questions raised by this

    changing artistic landscape.While enjoying a light lunch, the visitor experiences and participates in

    discussions between renowned German and American artists and intellectuals.

    Lunch Bytes: Copy Culture

    Wednesday, September 14, 12:00-2:00 p.m.

    RSVP:[email protected]

    Kicking off the series is an event centered on questions about copyright and authorship. What does "copyright"

    mean in todays context? Is it an outdated legal construct thatcannot adequately deal with the internet as a play of

    free floating artistic content? Does it still make sense to link a work exclusively to its producer and an original idea

    when web content is constantly changing.

    Artists and expert panelists include:

    Michael Bell-Smith, New York-based artist,

    Jeffrey Cunard, copyright and cyber law expert at Debevoise & Plimpton LLP, Washington, DC,

    Cornelia Sollfrank, Hamburg-based artist,

    Mark Tribe, Artist, Asssitant Professor of Modern Culture and Media Studies at Brown University, and founder of

    Rhizome.

    Leonard Freed (1929-2006) devoted his career as a Magnum photographer to making sense of a complex world. For over fiftyyears, Germany offered the American-born Freed a frequent point of departure. This exhibition draws from Freeds selection

    of images from his immense archive, as well as unpublished diary-style annotations accompanying many of his photographs.

    An American in Deutschland explores postwar German society from Freeds unique historical vantage point.

    In conjunction with the exhibition at the GHI, two other institutions will also exhibit prints by Leonard Freed: the Washington DCJewish Community Center's Ann Loeb Bronfman Gallery (Sept. 15Nov. 15) and the Goethe-Institut (Sept. 28Oct. 28).

    Curated by Paul M. Farber and Martin Klimke

    In collaboration with the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture, the Washington DC JewishCommunity Centers Ann Loeb Bronfman Gallery, and the Goethe-Institut.
