Metcalfe on Tolman
One of the most unique pieces in Seven is a spectacular drawing by Ben Tolman titled "Garden of Earthly Delights."
This is one artist with a singularly interesting Crumbesque vision. The current issue of the City Paper has a terrific piece on Tolman by John Metcalfe.
Read it here.
I bought three Tolmans at DCAC's current Wall Mountables show.

Seven side effects
One of the goals that I had hoped to accomplish for Seven (besides making it a success as a fundraiser and expose WPA/C members' work), was to also drag some of my fellow gallerists through the exhibition in the hope that they could find some artists of interest to them.
Thus far, I am told of at least five artists from Seven who have been signed up or offered contracts or exhibitions by area galleries.
Cool uh?

Torres Interview
Bailey has a terrific interview with Seven artist Alessandra Torres.
Read it here.
Seven on Film
Yesterday an international crew filmed the Seven exhibition at the Warehouse.
They seemed to prefer (and focused upon) Alessandra Torres' installation and photographs, Kathryn Cornelius' video, Tim Tate's glass sculptures, Margaret Boozer's floor "crack" installation and Joe Barbaccia's sculptures.
In the next few days they will be also filming Mark Jenkins' street sculptures around DC, which they also liked a lot.
It was interesting to me to get a sort of outsider "validation" about the quality of the show and the artists, from an experienced crew and director who have done a lot of traveling, filming, interviewing and art hopping around the world, and still have loads of praise for the artwork being created by our area artists.
Cool uh?
