Walsh at Nevin Kelly
I've been hearing some very good things about the current exhibition of paintings by Thomas Walsh at Nevin Kelly Gallery.
Walsh's show runs through May 8, and I certainly hope to be able to drop by and take a look before it closes.

Samantha Wolov is putting on a one night erotic photo installation this coming Friday, May 6, from 6-9PM, at the Washington Gallery of Photography. Its called "One Night Stand", and it is a one night-only installation and Wolov says about her work that
"Essentially, I wanted to create sexually arousing imagery without using the techniques used in modern pornographic magazines -- i.e., no posing, no acknowledgment of the camera, etc. Looking back at art history, the techniques used in Playboy, for example, actually had the opposite, more "sobering" effect.Wolov plans to set up an intimate viewing area, and her photos will then be projected onto the gallery walls.
I am hoping to make a form of "anti-porn" that was still arousing; no posing, complete disregard for the camera, very spur of the moment."
The installation is free and open to the public and for more information, please email Wolov here.
