Conflicted Objects Teresa Sites MFA Thesis Exhibition Nov. 23- Dec. 4 2009 Artist’s Reception Friday Dec. 4, 5-7 pm
from the artist: I am so happy to announce and invite you to my upcoming MFA thesis exhibition, Conflicted Objects. This current work deals with the limits and impossibility of representation through rhythmic repetition of form. Play in form and content is mediated through measurements that humorously interrogate the perception and veracity of everyday experience. Inversions and slippage between the literal and the abstract, reified through material supports and temporal concepts they contain recalls the phrase Credo quia absurdum, translating to I believe because it is absurd, which inspires this series of work. *************************************************** Please also see Classroom 102's site

Kenny George: Pacguy Opening Reception: Thursday, November 12, 6-8pm Kenny George crosses the line from fine art to mainstream consumerism, to transform and commodify his work and himself into objects from popular culture. The focal point of Pacguy, part of FotoWeek DC, will be a cocktail-style arcade game that borrows its format from the ubiquitous Pacman game. George uses an image of himself to replace the Pacman icon and to merchandize a fictionalized caricature throughout the exhibition. In addition to the video game, which visitors will be invited to play, Pacguy will feature lenticular flip animations, a retrofitted slot machine and a computerized pogo stick. featuring sculpture professor Yuriko Yamaguchi:Daryl Reich Rubenstein Gallery |

Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden: meet the artist: Yinka Shonibare MBE During the opening week of the artist’s major midcareer survey at the National Museum of African Art (NMAfA), UK-based Nigerian artist Yinka Shonibare visits the Hirshhorn to discuss his work with NMAfA curator Karen Milbourne. Like the Hirshhorn’s “The Age of Enlightenment—Antoine Lavoisier” (2008) on view in “Strange Bodies” until Nov. 15, much of Shonibare’s work poses questions about politics, identity, and cultural authenticity in a postcolonial world. “Yinka Shonibare MBE” is on view at the NMAfA Nov. 10, 2009– Mar. 7, 2010. This program is free.
