Washington, DC arts update: Anhedonia

[Willsw]

Coincidentally, along with Mr. April, I am also having an opening of my work. Paintings and works on paper at DCAC in Adams Morgan. Here's the card:

Cool!

 

[RJman]

Very nifty.

Tonight I hung pretty much everything, tomorrow is for cleaning up and getting ready for the opening Friday. My knuckles are raw from re-stretching canvas and it feels like munchkin teeth have latched on with flaming breath and acid tongues.

There will be things to eat, for you freeloaders.

I am afraid of an empty gallery.

First shows are anxiety incarnate.

This is really just a bump.

(For great justice)

If it's free (or no more than $20) to get in and theirs alcohol, I may be able to make it on friday. Is there a StyleForum VIP list? I have over 2000 posts you know, I think that makes me a little special.

Neat, where in Adams Morgan? I might swing by.

I love that painting by the way.

By the way they mention your exhibit on the Washington City Paper

Right across the street from the Diner, above the smoke shop and Alberto's Pizza. Next to LeftBank and diagonally from Madam's Organ, past True Story but not as far as B&K Newsstand. Like if you were at Tryst and looking at Columbia Rd., but then decided you had to look the opposite way, and at something yellow. About halfway between Idle Times bookstore and the falafel joint, but maybe not quite half. Up from Maggie Moo's but down from Blockbuster.

It's yellow, too.

7-9. If you're there, you'll have to introduce yourself first, as I really would rather not see you and have to say "Hey GoSurface!". The rules of the internet, you know.

I think I'll be there, I've got nothing else to do.

Introducing myself first doesn't seem too difficult, I think I can manage. I've never been to an opening before, so I hope I'm not confronted with art snob snobbery.

Well done. Sarah is definitely one of the best people to know in the DC art world.

I agree, every time her name is mentioned I end up respecting her more. This was very nice of her, she saw my work a while ago and volunteered her curatorial services, definitely made it a better show.

I just got back from hanging and cleaning up, everything is set.

Darn, wish I still lived in DC. I'd be there. Best of luck w/ the show.

Saw this in DCist the other day too.
