Zenith Gallery’s 44th
“Zeitgeist, the defining spirit or mood of a particular period of history as shown by the ideas and beliefs of the time. It basically means "The Spirit of the Age.” 44 years ago we were sitting around and talking about what to name the gallery, my father said you want to be at the beginning of the alphabet or the end, you don’t want to be stuck in the middle. With my knowledge of numerology we started with Z, the first word I liked was "Zeitgeist" but my father reminded me that no one knew what it meant. The next word was Zenith and that is how we picked the name. Now people actually know the meaning of Zeitgeist! “ Margery Goldberg

I usually don't like to brag about the expensive places that I have been to, but yesterday I went to the gas station... cough... cough
The Googles just alerted me that I am included in this museum show in Idaho!
The Boise Art Museum is bringing a collection of Cuban art from the collection of the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art and compiled by guest curator Jill Hartz.
This is the story behind my work in this show.
Some of the Artists in the Exhibition
I understand that all the various sanctions which will be coming soon against Russia for invading Ukraine will be printed on toilet paper so that the Russians can at least do something with them... cough... cough...Over the last two plus decades, I've contacted Washingtonian magazine multiple times to take them to task over their absolute apathy and lack of coverage when it comes to any coverage of the DMV's visual arts scene.
Multiple editors over the years have responded to my complaints with mostly never filled promises and/or excuses. Many of them have been documented in this blog over the decades, as testimony to their lack of interest in DMV visual arts and art galleries and spaces... and artists.
There's new blood and new leadership over at that legendary magazine and today Damare Baker pops in with a really cool opinion piece on which she highlights her ten fave visual art spaces around the DMV.
Check the article out here. Then email Damare and tell her how much you enjoyed the article and wouldn't it be nice if 2-3 times a year the magazine would review a DC art gallery, or art space, and/or highlight or profile a DMV artist?
