Political careers aren’t the only kind born in D.C. Painter John Alexander credits the city with starting his ascent in the art world. He displayed his work at the Corcoran Gallery of Art’s 35th Biennial Exhibition of Contemporary American Painting in 1977, after then-Corcoran curator Jane Livingston visited Texas and saw his work.

John Geldersma is quick to lead you around the room, explaining the purpose of his totemic sculptures, inverted poles that stand like serpents rearing on their tails which have sprouted archaic geometric heads. “See that slit?” He points to a vertical slot carved into the head of a piece. “It’s a sight.”

Lesley Dill’s sculptures made an impression on me some years ago at Graphic Studio in Tampa, particularly a tea-stained, paper dress that popped outward to become three-dimensional. A large traveling exhibition of her work—recently shown at the Saint Petersburg Museum of Fine Arts and on view at the Columbia Museum of Art in South Carolina through January 3, 2011—features numerous sculptures made of metal, paper, photographs, and fabric with seamless transitions from one medium to another. Dill integrates words, myth, and ideas with a variety of materials to attract and involve the viewer.
The title of Pard Morrison’s show – “50 Ways to Fall in Love” – may put a song in your head, the pessimistic but funny Paul Simon tune about how to get out of a relationship, not into one.
Nicole Charbonnet talks about her November 2010 exhibition on view at the Arthur Roger Gallery.
Seventeen minutes into the Okay Mountain Collective’s (OKMT) new work at AMOA, Water, Water Everywhere So Let’s All Have a Drink (2010), a woman appears. So far the interlaced segments of the 28-minute looped video have been filled with images one would find while channel surfing late on a six-pack-filled Saturday night.
