Solomon Wondimu: SKIN: America in Black & White

(September 2-30)


2/65

Born and raised in Ethiopia, Solomon Wondimu has been working on Human Skin ColorProject for the past five years. Wondimu questions the distinct classifications of peopleas "Black" or "White" which describes an opposition that does not actually exist in nature.In creating his works Wondimu uses a palette of 3,000 different colors he has collectedfrom skin-color swatches representing the multi-coloredness of individuals and people.

Going beyond the physical attributes of SKIN, Wonidmu's work is also about the conflictbetween the eye and the perceiving mind over the color of human skin. The eye sees itsworld without bias; however, the mind takes that information from the eye andtranslates it into social, political and religious master signifiers in order to furtheragendas, particularly subjugation of the Other. Wondimu's work describes and exposesthis conflict as it exists in both the micro and macro levels.

Alison Sigethy: Sanctuary

(September 2-30)

Commemorating the 10th anniversary of 9/11, Alison Sigethy's Sanctuary attempts to

bring the viewer closer to achieving inner peace by taking them on a journey inside the

human body. Sigethy's belief in the power of the inner self, a place where one can truly

find peace, healing and forgiveness, has been the foundation in creating this work.

In Sanctuary, the body is represented by two multi-piece sculptures,each portraying a

different internal system. Breath, six large glass panels with undulating fabric and

shadows, represents the respiratory system. Life, four bubble tubes filled with intricate

glass components, represents the cardiovascular system. Both sculptures incorporate

sound and movement as an essential part of the experience.

"Mix No Match

Paintings by Julia Latein-Kimmig

Acrylic (and other media and materials) on canvas

(August 31-October 2)

Opening Reception


4/65

Friday, September 2, 6:00-8:00 p.m.

Foundry Gallery

1314 18th Street NW


A love for lifes colors, an appreciation for discovering objects with character, and

respect for composition and dynamic tension find their way into Julia Latein-Kimmigs

new series " Mix No Match." Inspired by a three-year stay in Istanbul/Turkey, the artist

starts her paintings with a wide mix of colors and materials, supported by a wild varietyof brushes, old toothbrushes, and weathered vegetable or wallpaper brushes--every

brush is welcome. Torn pieces of discarded drawings or neglected studies, street finds,

and newspaper rip-outs enjoy getting a second chance on life. Taking the lead, charcoal,

graphite and oil bars find their way onto the canvas, stirring up an unruly mix of form

and color, taking the artist on a unique journey, which thrives on a dynamic jumble of

color and form. The result opens a window in how the artist interprets her mix of what

is obvious to the eye as well as to what is easily passed by and overlooked.

Buy art and benefit people in need. Julia will give 50% of her share of sales proceeds to

Somalia famine relief.

Nothing seems to come between Elisabeth Lohninger and a

song. Her clear, warm alto voice gets directly at the heart of

the words with little embellishment, but a great deal of

sincerity and subtlety. The Austrian vocalist studied classical

music and jazz at the Bruckner Conservatory in Linz and

finished her studies with a masters degree in music andEnglish language and literature at the Mozarteum University

Salzburg. In a career that has taken her from the slopes of

the Austrian alps, where she sang folk songs as a young girl,

to jazz clubs, concert halls and the stages of international jazz

festivals, vocalist Elisabeth Lohninger has proven herself to be

a powerful and elusive talent.

In 1994, Lohninger relocated to New York and has released

seven albums since then. On her CD Songs of Love and

Destruction (September 1st, 2010 Lofish Music) she yet

again charms listeners with her intimate delivery and insight

into a songs lyrics. Drawing on her love of pop music, as well

as jazz and her own originals, she has crafted an understated,

but deeply emotional album that looks at love, as one of her

favorite singer-songwriters puts it, "from both sides now."

Together with pianist Walter Fischbacher, bassist Gary Wang

and drummer Yutaka Uchida the Austrian Jazz Musician

Lohninger will showcase her wide range of form and feeling.

Speaker: Pamela Constable

From the book publisher: In Playing with Fire, acclaimed journalist Pamela Constable peels back layers of

contradiction and confusion to reveal the true face of modern Pakistan. . . . Constable takes us on a panoramic tour

of contemporary Pakistan, exploring the fears and frustrations, dreams and beliefs, that animate the lives of

ordinary citizens . . . From the opulent, insular salons of the elite to the brick quarries where soot-covered workers

sell their kidneys to get out of debt, this is a haunting portrait of a society riven by inequality and corruption, andincreasingly divided by competing versions of Islam.

About the speaker: Pamela Constable, a Public Policy Scholar at the Woodrow Wilson Center in 2010, serves as a

South Asia correspondent for the Washington Post. She has been covering South Asia since 1999, and spent four

years as the Posts bureau chief for the region, stationed in New Delhi and Kabul. Earlier, she spent nine years as

the Latin America correspondent for the Boston Globe, and served as journalist-in-residence at the Pew

International Journalism Program at Johns Hopkins Universitys School of Advanced International Studies.

Constable is the author of the 2004 bookFragments of Grace: My Search for Meaning in the Strife of South Asia ,

which reflects on her experiences covering South Asia.

"Austria. Past, Present and Future"

by Hannes Androsch

book presentation and signing

Wednesday, September 7,6:30 p.m.

Embassy of Austria





Dr. Androsch will be available to sign copies of the

book, cost for one book is USD $70, cash only please.

Austria is no longer an "island of the blessed". It is time to re-

examine the myths and opinions about this country. In this

book, a team of noted scholars, experts and journalists take

on the task of correcting the image of Austria and the

Austrians. In the process they examine this countrys past and

present, but also its future. This multifaceted book provides

ample evidence that a love for Austria does not exclude

criticism of it, that patriotism must not automatically mean

glossing over the facts, and that it is essential to regularly

survey how Austria sees itself as well as how it is assessed by

outsiders.

With insightful essays and a wealth of carefully selected

pictures, this deluxe edition provides an authoritative and

comprehensive view of Austria.

Hannes Androsch, born in Vienna in 1938, was minister of

finance and vice-chancellor under Bruno Kreisky, director-

general of the Creditanstalt-Bankverein, and today is an

industrialist. He is involved in many areas of public life and

founded the non-profit "Hannes Androsch Foundation at the

Austrian Academy of Sciences". Androsch is much in demand

as commentator on current affairs as well as the publisher and

author of numerous publications.

Nordic-Baltic Security in the 21st Century: Continued Transformation Toward a Larger Role in the World?"

Wednesday September 7, 8:30 a.m.-3:45 p.m.

Atlantic Council

1101 15th Street NW, 11th Floor


RSVP:[email protected](202) 778-4968

The Atlantic Council is pleased to invite you to an all-day conference on Nordic-Baltic security, which will examine key

strategic challenges for the countries of the Nordic-Baltic region, how to further strengthen regional cooperation, and how

the region can play a larger role in transatlantic and global security.

The Nordic-Baltic region has undergone a remarkable transformation since the end of the Cold War and the restoration of

the Baltic states' independence twenty years ago. Today, the region is characterized by economic dynamism, deep Euro-

Atlantic integration, and robust stability. As we look to the next twenty years, increasing regional cooperation and

integration offers the prospect of the region playing a much larger role in transatlantic and global security.

This conference is the capstone event of the Council's Transatlantic Initiative on Nordic-Baltic Security, a year-long effortsupported by Sweden's Ministry for Foreign Affairs. The Initiative seeks to raise the level of debate on Nordic-Baltic

security issues in Washington, as well as to provide actionable and policy relevant advice on how to further strengthen

Nordic-Baltic cooperation on security and defense issues in a transatlantic and global context. A compendium of issue

briefs on Nordic-Baltic security, covering a wide range of topics, will be released at the conference and several of the

compendium authors will serve as conference panelists.

"Ten Years After 9/11"is an exhibition featuring the work of thirty-nine international artists

commemorating the tenth anniversary of the event of September 11, 2001.

Co-curators Helen Frederick and William Dunlap were determined to create a venue for artists to

show work made in response to and in the wake of the cataclysmic events of 9/11. "It's not that

artists were any more or less effected by the events of 9/11 than anyone else," says WilliamDunlap. "The difference is that they respond by making concrete objects that want to be seen."

As Frederick and Dunlap explain, they curated the artists not specific artworks. In that light,

and the United States, each bringing their personal perspectives and unique viewpoints to the

recorded, filtered, transformed and translated into powerful works of art over the past ten

years.

About Danielle Bensky's work

------------------------------------------

'Life-Force Struggle'

Words by Michele Sarde

In Danielle Benskys sculpture, life forces are at work through a ceaseless struggle to transcend limits. Its a struggle to reach upwards,

refusing to admit the degradation of physical reality, an intrinsic assertion of our humanity, not against nature but joining her in the effort.

Contrary to so many contemporary works of art haunted by darkness and destruction, these forms create joy, alleviate despair and showthe finest of human qualities: spirit and flesh conjoined in a thrust towards an inner freedom bringing all else in its wake.

The quintessentially human tends to express itself more and more in our time through the feminine, no longer woman-as-object,

transformed and sometimes disfigured by men, but woman creating, who delights in contemplating her own ascending dream, and who,

unlike Narcissus, looks into a moving mirror, a mirror moving with the world itself. It is this very woman that Danielle Bensky plucks out

from the toughness of matter and for whom she dreams up a fragile yet harmonious equilibrium always reaching above eye-level.

In the transition from sculpture to painting, we see not only an exploration of new resources involving color but above all the deployment

within just two dimensions of an infinitely virtual space. This is reflective of the mental trajectory of our artist who needs to imagine a

universe with fluid boundaries, a limitless spatiality consonant with immeasurable anguish in the face of chaos, a chaos which must be

exorcised. An open secret haunts these painterly works whose paradigmatic themes, whether eye, knot, abyss, origin or matrix, are now

revealed, now dissolved, now fractured, in a giddying back and forth, a spinning around, transpiercing and commanding artistic energies.

This inner tsunami which deploys the uncontrolled surging of the wave its powers of destruction yet also shows the upending ofspace when it recedes, irresistibly evokes the idea of revolution: revolution in all its solar and lunar cycles, whether in nature or in

Liberty and Tolerance in an Age of Religious ConflictFriday,September 9, 9:15 a.m.-5:00 p.m.Georgetown University

3307 M Street NW

Suite 200

RSVP:http://berkleycenter.georgetown.edu/events/rsvp?id=liberty-and-tolerance-in-an-age-of-religious-

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 amongthe 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 such

exploitation 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?

3. How can interfaith dialogue and activism advance the liberty and tolerance agenda? What dangers and pitfalls do

you see along the way?

Ellington Robinson: In Quest of The Sun

(September 9-October 15)

Opening Reception


Project 4 Gallery

1353 U Street NW, 3rd floor


(202) 232-4340

Project 4 Gallery is proud to present In Quest of The 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.
mailto:[email protected]


30/65

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.

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 constant motion we

are striving toward the stars.

Gallery Hours: Tuesday through Saturday

10:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m., and by appointment.

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


39/65

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

District. Gateway CDC works in the communities of Brentwood, North Brentwood, and Mount Rainier,and works in collaboration with several partners to ensure the success of the entire Gateway Arts

District.

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 FineArt informs his approach to design, 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.

Meltdown Chair-PP Stripe

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 seri es 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 Desireby 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

INDUSTRY21st 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 through 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.

Speakers

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

collection 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, particularlythe 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 for

waging the war.

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 that cannot 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,

Leonard Freed (1929-2006) devoted his career as a Magnum photographer to making sense of a complex world. For over fifty

years, 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).
