Alternative Gallery Space Black Matter Curated by Zenith Gallery January 16 - March 16 Vibrant three-dimensional mixed media and sculpture by Washington area artists from the Black Artists of DC (BADC) collective will add color and interest to the gallery space at 1111 Pennsylvania Avenue during Black History Month, as well as before and beyond. The show will highlight works that are individually unique, but similar in their African/Negro sensibility and spirit, inspired by the artists and professors at Howard University who have produced artists with a distinctly pro-Black perspective for over eight decades. The Black Matter show has been curated by Zenith Gallery owner Margery E. Goldberg, who curates four shows annually at 1111 Pennsylvania Avenue, and Washington artist Julee Dickerson-Thompson. Their ties date back to the late 1970’s when the two worked and lived at Zenith Square artists’ haven, the precursor to Zenith Gallery inspired by Goldberg’s vision of supporting a community of artists. That vision continues in 2008 as they support and promote Black Artists of DC.

The Art League Gallery Reality Remixed Darren Smith March 6 - April 7 Most photographers seek to compose their final image through the viewfinder, not wanting to later alter or twist the captured reality. But Darren Smith uses the images he captures as the medium and inspiration for his handmade photo mosaics to construct his own version of reality. “Reality Remixed,” Smith’s solo artist exhibit at The Art League Gallery exemplifies his distinctive and adept method in the art form of photography. Smith strives to create a sense of utopia in his altered world of surrealist landscapes and abstracted compositions. His move to Washington, DC in 2000 prompted a dive into the art form as he was newly inspired by the diverse architecture and landscape of the city. When photographing, Smith is drawn to shape, line, color, and elements that provide good transitions within his mosaics. His pieces are not premeditated – they evolve organically. “I shoot many photos of a scene, create a new composition with the prints, cut them into small pieces and glue them back together. The layering of the pieces adds a sculptural component to the works, and the shadows they cast create a subtle three-dimensional effect,” remarks Smith.

Arthur M. Sackler Gallery Perspectives Y.Z. Kami March 15 - October 13 The Perspectives series of contemporary Asian art resumes with an exhibition of new works by artist Y.Z. Kami. Born in Tehran, Y.Z. Kami draws from Eastern and Western aesthetic and mystical traditions to create large-scale works that explore the movement between the physical world and the inward spiritual journey. A student of philosophy, he developed a particular interest in the human face and its relationship to the divine which has inspired several groups of portraits. This exhibition presents two monumental portraits from his current series depicting individuals in meditation. Each subject, rendered with a soft focus and simple palette, emanates a sense of peace and introspection. In the third and largest work on view, poetry and religious architecture also give form to the divine. Using collage and verses from the Mathnawi of Jalaluddin Rumi (1207-1273), the artist arranges words like bricks in a spiral of calligraphy that invokes the feeling of looking through a dome or the ecstatic movement of a ritual dance.

Curators Office Airfield Charles Cohan February 23 - April 5 The artist has exhibited his work internationally yet draws upon the common thread that unites all global travelers. Airfield includes prints of airport terminals and runways from all over the world, mysteriously interpreted into a symbolic language that engages both abstraction and representation. The images become a cryptic shorthand for a human experience that speaks of both freedom and fear. Cohan notes, "Intended to form a graphic typology, the project visually references a range of image archetypes including utilitarian architectural forms, informational symbols, linguistic characters, directional signs, and symbolic illustrations. Printed in black with a stark outline configuration, the designs reflect the demographics of security, surveillance, and distribution within the architectural vocabulary of the plan diagram."

Gallery 10 Barcode Felisa Federman March 5 - March 29 Federman's concern about the environment and the "inventory control" of individuality, resonate visibly throughout her art and set the tone for this show’s theme. As they represent concepts such as identity, classification and powerlessness, the works in 'Barcode' bravely focus on the interconnectedness of all things in nature and humankind. This current body of work moves between painting, mixed media and assemblages and centers on techniques of mounting and layering that result in the display of conventional objects in an unpredictable representation.

Combining calligraphic, gestural areas with large bands of color that often serve as outlines, Sillman resists prescribed categories within painting and allows her works to remain ambiguous

Jerusalem Fund Gallery Cut Down by the Sky Zahi Khamis January 25 - March 14 “Having lost home and exhausted exile, I stand in front of my canvasses—my final trench—and resist Despair. Shaped by an old and stubborn habit of mine—Hope—I, with a paint brush in my hand, decide, Yes it is still possible to create.
These images on the walls are the results of my attempt, at the darkest hour, to say yes to life, yes to art, and yes to beauty.”
Born in the Palestinian village of Reineh outside of Nazareth in 1959, Zahi Khamis emigrated to Europe and then to the United States in his early twenties. After earning his degree in Mathematics, and studying literature extensively, Zahi eventually turned towards painting as his primary form of expression. Appearing in numerous solo shows, group exhibits, books, and other publications, Zahi’s work is part of a long tradition of committed art, expressing the painful, yet luminous, contradictions of all those who struggle for liberation.

Randall Scott Gallery i am who i pretend to be Cara Ober March 8 - April 11 New paintings and an installation of works on paper by Baltimore-based Cara Ober. Ober’s canvases, rich in layers of ideas worked, rethought, reworked and painted with an exuberant and excited hand, is akin to a late night conversation shared over numerous cups of coffee, or glasses of wine. Focused in the moment, with thoughts flying in every direction, these works act like an improvisational jazz riff that never looses track of the melody, while never drawing recognition to it in sequence, either.

Space 7:10 Of Sounds and Letters Elsa Gebreyesus March 11 - April 4 "Each of my paintings starts with a loose sketch, landscape or object and is built up with layer upon layer of paint. Often it will be in a state of chaos before the process of adding and subtracting begins. I do not start with an end in mind when I begin a painting, instead the challenge is to find the end. This process to me is a type of meditation - an intimate conversation between the materials and myself." - Elsa Gebreyesus

Washington Printmakers Gallery Artful Occupation of Abandoned Homesteads Dorothy Anderson Grow February 26 - March 30 "I have always been intrigued by the abandoned shacks and sheds that dot the rural landscape in Northern Michigan. From childhood to adulthood, I have tried to reconstruct the forgotten pasts of these vacated spaces. As a child, I would venture into the deserted dwellings, sweep out the debris, and turn them into imaginary castles. As a printmaker, I am attempting to make them come alive with art. With ink, color and collage, I am attempting to transform and restore their existence. I like to tweak their outdoor environments, relocate their posted warnings, and place art into their empty spaces. I am challenged by their desolation . . . challenged to revive the remote" - Dorothy Anderson
Zenith Gallery Trees of Life Established and Emerging artists March 13 - April 27 A mixed-media show of art by established and emerging artists, each depicting their favorite tree … be it a Washington tree, a symbolic tree or one unique to another country, city or state. Artists participating in the show, to date, are Gloria Cesal, Margery Goldberg Brenda Gordon, Paul Keyserling, Carol Newmyer, Bradley Stevens and Colin Winterbottom. The concept for this show stems from Goldberg’s longtime interest in and reverence for trees symbolizing life, evolution, friendship and good will. A wood sculptor, conservationist and area resident, Goldberg notes, “Washington is the Tree Capital of the U.S., made so by the sheer number and variety of trees that have been given to our city by other countries and states. What better place to have a show, dedicated to trees.” For Goldberg, the Trees of Life exhibition also serves as a metaphor for the roots Zenith has established in Washington, reaching out as branches into the arts and business communities, and her fondness for the city where trees and her gallery flourish.
