FotoWeek DC (I guess)

I haven't received a single press release from the FotoWeekDC people, without an argument one of the best things that has happened to DC photography ever... but I have received tons of individual press releases from the myriad of participating galleries, alternative art venues and museums.

Thus let me pick one to share the events with all of you:

The Corcoran Gallery of Art and College of Art + Design is proud to support FotoWeek DC 2009 as a Palladium Sponsor – the highest level of sponsorship and the only cultural institution in this category. In addition to a full range of programming, the Corcoran will showcase artwork from the College of Art + Design at FotoWeek Central (3338 M Street, NW) during the annual photography celebration. Corcoran FotoWeek programming highlights include:

· Portfolio reviews on Sunday, November 8 from prominent photographers of all specialties

· Special guest lecture by artist Edward Burtynsky on Wednesday, November 11, who will discuss the “industrial sublime” in his work, including Edward Burtynsky: Oil, a large-scale photo exhibition now on view at the Corcoran

· The FotoWeek DC lecture series Saturday, November 14, featuring work from photographers in Cuba, Beijing, and Iraq.

Interesting choice of nations to feature... anyway, for details visit www.corcoran.org/fotoweekdc. For a full schedule of FotoWeekDC events and programs, visit www.fotoweekdc.org.
