Conner

So Also, in a late review, Conner contemporary had thier grand opening ceremony last week. The work seemed ok, although there were too many people to really make an assesment of the space or artworks. Brandon Morse had a new video piece in the show, which for me was the highlight. I am a bit biased about this, as I studied under him in graduate school, but realistically The piece was really reallt good. I wont ruin the work by going into a conveluded description, but there is a beautiful balance between rivalry and cooperation in the motions of the piece. Go see it.

Also on board and noteworthy in this exhibition, work by light installation artist, Leo Villareal I hear he has a commission for the underground walkway between the east and west wing of the national gallery, so congratulations on that. this time he has several large wall pieces in the main gallery, as well as one outside in the new courtyard. The work is interesting and exciting (although my favorite part is that they dry walled over the cords which power the works.

There are the works by regulars from CC there as well, Erik Sandberg and Nathaniel Rogers round out the paintings quite nicely.

The only thing lacking was, of course the sculpture, The work there seemed in appropriate for the space, and I am personally excited to see what and who the gallery and its artists take on to utilize their new environment. The new space is huge, One of the biggest in DC, and looks like it is dying to be filled.

thanks also to the people who got me into the show, and to DC police for being out in unusually large numbers that night.

Next up. Music!
