The Washington Post asked readers to submit their work to their "Real Art D.C." contest on Washingtonpost.com:
Since April, Galleries columnist Jessica Dawson has been scouring the submissions, and from the 4,000 images submitted, she chose 10 finalists. The finalists work with neckties, petri dishes and Bertoia chairs; they use Holga cameras, watercolor, needlepoint, video and pixels. Their subjects range from the inside of a Korean liquor store to the inside of the artist's studio. Now it's your turn. Go to http://washingtonpost.com/realartdc to vote for your favorite.Vote now and vote here.
Dawson can bite me. The interface for "Real Art DC" was impossible to find and even more impossible to use and navigate (no place to input the artist's name or contact info, for example) and her choices seem to favor the antiseptic, twee, and gimmicky. Actually, the pixel guy's work is pretty compelling - and I usually roll my eyes at everyone's love affair with "time-based media". Ugh. Whatever. I hate this town.
