Corcoran Gallery of Art Washington Color and Light November 20 - March 6 Major works by the artists associated with the Washington Color School and their contemporaries. These works are united by an exploration of the language of abstraction, a desire to experiment with materials, and a love of color.

The exhibition includes galleries dedicated to the monumental stripe paintings of Gene Davis; meditations on color and space by Thomas Downing; and hard-edge abstract paintings by Howard Mehring, Kenneth Noland, and Paul Reed. In addition, the exhibition includes sculptures by Rockne Krebs, Ed McGowin, and Anne Truitt, as well as glorious color-saturated paintings by Leon Berkowitz, Willem de Looper, Sam Gilliam, and Alma Thomas.

Hamiltonian Gallery Bound Selin Balci Katherine Mann January 22 - March 5 Both artists create vivid abstractions, ripe with notions of growth, wonder and subjugation. Within the context of aestheticism, both examine the limits of their medium, as well as notions of humanity within an expanded ecologic understanding of the living world. At Last Joyce Y-J Lee March 12 - April 9 In this latest series, Joyce Y-J Lee oscillates between mediums, utilizing video, drawings and digital prints created during the time she recently spent in the Amargosa Desert in Nevada located on the edge of Death Valley. Living and working amongst the hauntingly beautiful landscape as well as the local residents of this small mining community, Lee has yet again produced introspective works that highlight the use of light as meaning.

Hillyer Art Space Meaning in Abeyance Karin Birch March 4 - March 25 Karin Birch's varied materials allow her to synthesize the naturalness and fluidity of paint with the patterned regularity of textiles, resulting in a depth of aesthetic complexity absent in a simple painting or textile piece
Remnants, Traces, and High Maintenance Sacha Ingber March 4 - March 25 Physical placement of objects and organisms in the world often appears random, unpredictable. Sacha Ingber's work investigates the driving forces and logic, or lack thereof, behind the organization of these things. The materials and artifacts within the work are sometimes found and unaltered-bringing with them a distinct history - or highly manipulated, transformed into something other.

Industry Gallery Fossilized Jens Praet January 15 - March 12 The Belgium-born, Florence-based Praet has shredded and recycled copies of Art in America, Capitol File, Details, Fast Company and Robb Report mixed with clear resin to create five different designs - console, bench, side table, large table and large shelf - each in an edition of 12 with each design made from a specific title. Corresponding works for all the designs, except the large table, were also executed using shredded documents mixed with semi-transparent white resin to create the balance of the exhibition's nine works. Fossilized is part of the designer's Shredded Collection, which originated out of his concern about sustainability and the amount of waste paper being generated globally.

The exhibition centers on images of the female body that offer multiple views of feminine identity. Figural works are complemented by images of contemporary architecture and public spaces, which are, the Podestas note, "completely and surprisingly asexual. Yet they are what remain of us when we're not there"

Studio Gallery Iwan Bagus March 2 - March 26 In this exhibit, Bagus shares his inward journey of memories, realities, and myths through his photographs. People, places and stories he left behind, came back to haunt his work like a pilgrimage of images. As he recalled Indonesian proverbs and legends, the rich and fantastical mythology of his childhood paraded in his mind like a living succession of quiet images on a contact sheet.

Transformer Gallery Heirlooms Lauren Rice February 5 - March 12 Similar to set designs for theatrical events, the landscapes Rice creates in her sculptural work are fantastical - elements appear to collapse, levitate, burst and grow within the gallery space. With Heirlooms, Rice references gardens, flowers and vases, while simultaneously vulgarizing their traditional preconceptions as feminine and romantic.
