A FAREWELL TO CHARMS
Charlie Visconage's Final DC Solo Show
Featuring THE WALL OF FRIENDS
September 21 & 22, 7–9pm
September 23, 4–6pm

Charlie Visconage's Final DC Solo Show

Charlie Visconage is an American self-taught artist. When other kids told him he was a "bad drawer" in school, he believed it for far too long. In 2014, a friend suggested he paint just for the hell of it, and Charlie found a new means of expression that he loved and hasn't stopped painting since. Charlie makes landscape paintings, portraits, and sculptures. Charlie's work focuses on capturing the darkly comedic moments of our time, finding joy in spite of the slow death of capitalism and the end of the American empire.

Topological.03 (Photo: Joshua Dunn)

Featuring works primarily from two of Sarah J. Hull's recent series, this exhibition considers the mechanics of awareness and memory and how they interact not only with each other, but also with time and space. These themes converge in the thoughtful meditations on the traces of existence that remain and those that fade. Fading, just as energy fields that extend towards a point where its amplitude decreases.




The Art4Us Collective
DC UNSETTLED
March 11–April 2, 2022
Opening Reception: Friday March 11 and Saturday March 12
6:00–9:00 pm

DC unsettled

The collective Art4Us brings to Studio 1469 a month of art about DC, our beloved city: "DC never settles – it's a constant flow of intense energy, variable over time, involved in political maneuvers, racial conflicts, and power plays, but somehow able to transform precariousness into growth and rebirth. A city that speaks so many languages, whether screamed through powerful street art or whispered through manicured architecture."

Hosted by Civilian Art Projects
February 16 – March 23, 2019
Opening Reception: February 16, 6:30-8:30pm
Exhibition Hours: Saturdays 12pm-5pm; Sundays by appointment only

Things Are As They Seem Beta Blocker Double Soul

For over 15 years, Gubbiotti has created and presented what is most often not considered in painting. Supports, stretchers, staples, screws, glue, and paint have all been exposed and utilized in the making of his art. He incorporates all of the rudimentary elements and gives them equal importance. For this exhibition, he writes, "I decided to remove the how was this made question by having everything directly unfold in front of the audience, an unboxing if you will."



Up Close Step Back Further
Curated by Tony Lewis and Chenée Lewis
Featuring Caroline Kent, Devin Mays, and Kellie Romany
September 15 – October 13, 2018
Opening Reception: September 15, 6pm–9pm
Exhibition Hours: Saturdays 12pm-5pm; Sundays by appointment only

Up Close Step Back Further Caroline Kent Devin Mays Kellie Romany

The Artist's hand, and all of its platitudes, provides an unexpected opportunity to connect three Chicago-based artists by examining the proximity of each artist's hand to their work.
Up close, we can see oil paint with turpenoid and galkyd dripping directly from a hand that recalls the raw physiology of one's skin, bodily fluid, and functions. The muscle memory of a skillful painter in conjunction with the ritualistic practice of clay puts forth an internal experience within the body that produces such fluid, and simultaneously shelters it.



TRACES:

TRACES: A performance engaging memory and imagination, loss and discovery

It's the story of a relationship. A relationship between a woman and a man. A man with bipolar. And the woman who tries to save him. But her efforts are hijacked by a mineral contained within an igneous rock.

A Dialog about Hidden and Urgent issues in Contemporary Abstract Painting

The Look of THINGS

Against the backdrop of Tim Doud's "Parthenogenesis" exhibition, Curator's Office @ Studio 1469 presents artists Rushern Baker IV, Tim Doud & Leslie Smith III in a chewy discussion moderated by Zoë Charlton about how artists are approaching abstraction in painting today. Is abstraction an elitist commodity? Should it be perceived only aesthetically and formally? What is the data hidden beneath its carefully orchestrated surfaces? How is the abstract art object the conveyor of social, spiritual, or political meaning?

Parthenogenesis

Exhibition: October 14-November 12, 2017
Opening Reception Saturday, October 14, 6-8 pm
Closing Curatorial Event Sunday, November 12, 4-6 pm
Gallery Hours Thursday-Saturday from 12-6 or by appointment

Curator's Office is pleased to present paintings and works on paper by American artist Tim Doud in his first solo exhibition. Doud has been working on a large body of abstract work entitled Cumulus, inspired by the act of gathering information from the cloud and mining the internet for data, particularly as it relates to the origins of visual information. Parthenogenesis is an important sub-series of Cumulus. The phenomenon of parthenogenesis is defined briefly as reproduction from an ovum without fertilization. The paintings in Parthenogenesis play on the self-replicating process of reproduction, particularly as it relates to our current digital age. Just as in natural genetic and environmental evolution, the digital world produces glitches and subtle, sometimes dramatic, variations from the original.




THE EYE OF FAITH FLANAGAN

Gallery hours: Thursday-Saturday, 12-6
Opening reception Saturday, June 24

Love Hurts, especially when we lose a friend. Mary Faith Flanagan (known as Faith), was an avid arts supporter who participated actively in the greater Washington, DC art world. She died suddenly at age 50 on Thursday, January 12, 2017 in her home in Washington, DC from unexpected cardiac events.

Faith Flanagan

Artist and curator friends are organizing this memorial exhibition to honor her vision and vital support to the art community. The exhibition features a broad array of some of the artists that she worked with as an independent curator and some of the works from her personal art collection. The artworks are for sale. Proceeds from sales of artwork will benefit the non-profit arts organization DCAC (District of Columbia Arts Center) where The Faith Flanagan Memorial Fund is being set up to help fund their Curatorial Initiative program. Faith was an active member of DCAC, former board member, member of DCAC's Visual Arts Committee, and helped program and run Studio 1469 with Norm Veenstra.

Featuring works by Ken Ashton, Alan Callander, William Christenberry, Christopher Ciccone, Mary Coble, Kathryn Cornelius, Derrick De Borgia, Jeremy Flick, Thom Flynn, Jason Gubbiotti, Evan Hume, Barbara Januszkiewicz, Ian Jehle, Christopher Lee, Lauren Shea Little, Jayme Mclellan, Brandon Morse, Mark Parascandola, Maryanne Pollock, Erik Thor Sandberg, Annie Schap, Kelly Towles, and Jenny Walton.

Studio 1469 with Dot Projects + Artwork is thrilled to present new work from local visual artists Thom Flynn and Ian Jehle. Evidence presents artworks which claim the obvious "mark" of the artist as the primary curatorial interest in each of the artists' practice. While Flynn paints with paper and Jehle currently draws in computer code, both create art that celebrates the hand of the artist and what that leaves behind in the finished piece.

DON'T DIE IN THE DARK
A play in one act by Joe Brack
Directed by Matty Griffiths
April 11-26 2015

Don't Die in the Dark

John Wilkes Booth fired a single shot Derringer into history exactly 150 years ago. DON'T DIE IN THE DARK sheds light on the personal and patriotic motivations behind one of America's most shocking acts of terror, the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, and the man on the wrong side of history. This production explores Booth's surrendering fame for infamy, trading family for country, and his attempt to balance stage and reality.

"There has always been a certain allure to what lies hidden - not secret, but rather obscured. Body of Work puts on display artwork whose common thread is an effort to make pictorial sense of the unknown - perhaps unknowable... While Callander works in video, Hume in photography, and Walton with paper and ink, all three create art of gorgeous abstraction."
