Two area art dealers are participating in scope London: Bethesda art dealer Rody Douzoglou and DC's Conner Contemporary.

Rody Douzoglou will feature artist Pablo López and also works from Amalia Caputo, Magdalena Fernández and Carolina Sardi.

Conner Contemporary will be featuring new work by photographer Julee Holcombe. The gallery will also exhibit photo/conceptualist work by Joe Ovelman, new paintings by Erik Sandberg and photographs by John Kirchner.

Tape Excrement

Mark Jenkins is at it again.

Update: WOW! I didn't know that these Mark Jenkins' sculptures had been placed outside the Found Sound booths. And now Jenkins has been policed!

Update II: Mark Jenkins has now apologized for this.

Bethesda Row

Lack of posts due to my being at the Bethesda Row Arts Festival.

I'll catch up later... have a ton of stuff to post and discuss. Come back!

Friday at the WaPo

Mercy me! Two visual art reviews in the WaPo in one day!

In Style, Gopnik surprises us again by reviewing another "local" (I mean "Washington-based") artist: Sam Gilliam's retrospective at the Corcoran.

And in Weekend, Michael O'Sullivan delivers yet more evidence why he's one of the few area art critics who truly knows "Washington-based" artists in this review of Options 2005.

And Thinking About Art's comments on O'Sullivan's review.

Can't wait to see the show!

Solo3 Opens Tonight

Solo3, a solo show in three parts by artists Alexandra Silverthorne, Joseph Barbaccia, and Pat Dunning opens tonight at Warehouse. The opening reception is from 6-8pm.

Tim Tate's Pad

Tim Tate's DC pad is becoming famous once again, this time appearing in an episode of "Small Spaces, Big Style" on HGTV this Thursday night at 8:00 PM.

Tate's apartment was transformed from a dull gray into a stunning pad by the amazing team of Sean and Rania of Scenic Artists.

Heading South...

I'm heading out to the Carolinas later today, but will be back by Friday, hopefully in time to make the opening for Prof. John Winslow as he opens his second solo show with us.

The opening for Winslow is this coming Friday at Fraser Gallery Bethesda from 6-9PM and it is part of the Bethesda Art Walk.

A free guided tour is also offered. See details of the tour here. Tours will begin at 6:30pm. Attendees can meet their guide at the Bethesda Metro Center, located at the corner of Old Georgetown Road and Wisconsin Avenue. Attendees do not have to participate in tours to visit Art Walk galleries.
