Opportunity for WPA/C Members to Exhibit at artDC
Someone at the WPA/C is using their coconut and has come up with a novel way for their members to exhibit at the coming artDC fair in Washington, DC.
All WPA\C members are invited to contribute a small work to INDEX, a miniature “members only” exhibition in the WPA\C booth at ArtDC intended to give the public a glimpse of the artists that make up their membership base. Your submission can express anything you wish. It can reflect your current work, be a self-portrait, or communicate any kind of statement - the ONLY restriction is size.
Create a 4-by-6-inch “index card size” piece out of any mailable material. The image can be horizontal or vertical. Put your image on one side of the “index card size” surface and mail the work (either in an envelope or as a postcard) to:
WPA\C - INDEX
500 Seventeenth Street, NW
Washington, D.C. 20006
Deadline for Delivery to WPA\C: Monday, April 16,, 2007
On the back of the piece, please include your name and indicate which side is up. (No titles please). You may submit more than one piece.
Note that works will not be sold. Works will only be returned if a self-addressed stamped envelope is provided by the artist.
If you're not a WPA/C member, this is a good reason alone to join.

Dixon responds to ARTifice
Last week, David Waddell over at ARTifice reported on the "Role of Criticism Today," panel discussion that took place at the Provisions Library in Dupont Circle in DC.
The WCP's Mark Athitakis also made a note of Waddell's report here and now Glenn Dixon, one of the participants in the panel, disputes some of Waddell's version of events in a comment here.
In a separate comment at ARTifice, Dixon takes Waddell to task over "all the incomprehension and bad reporting in Waddell's original post."
This should be easy to solve; apparently this panel was videotaped, so hopefully Provisions or Transformer will post the video on their website and the issue will be resolved.

Explorer 7
I've been delaying the unavoidable browser update, hoping that they had worked all the kinks out, but this past weekend I finally downloaded Explorer 7 to all of my computers, and it all seemed OK until my email processes started crashing the desktop.
A few hours of telephonic assistance and the issue seems to be resolved, but I also managed to nuke about 300 recent emails, including around 40-50 that I had not read yet. So if I'm not responding to you, now you know.

Aubrie Mema at DC's Touchstone Gallery
I've been hearing interesting and good things about Aubrie Mema's current exhibition at Touchstone Gallery in DC.
On exhibition Mema has a new series titled "Habit," which consists of mixed media on transparency. According to Mema, "the use of transparency has enabled me to contemporaneously project the show as an installation as well as a regular exhibit. The show is unique for the viewer, given one's ability to view two dimensional art three-dimensionally."
The show will remain on display until April 8, 2007.
