  From RAP to VisArts 

  It was a pleasure to curate the current show at VisArts with my once and always boss, Judy Greenberg.

  Bruskin Edges Pussy Riot for Prize 

  

  Grisha Bruskin, Three Figures in Gas Masks, painted bronze

  I’ve been wanting to use that title for years. Grisha Bruskin’s exhibition H-Hour opens at the American University Museum January 26th. HERE is the great news that H-Hour will share the Kandinsky Prize for the best art project in Russia this year!

  The President Expressed His Disappointment… 

  …when I told him Joan Danziger’s show was closing this Sunday at the American University Museum. He was not so worried about missing Carol Brown Goldberg’s show, as he figured it would go straight to video. When I told him Jules Olitski’s was also closing, he just said “Jules who?”

  Talkin bout my Jules Olitski 

  Two of the curators for Revelation: Major Paintings by Jules OLitski, the legendary raconteur E. A. Carmean and the delightful Ms. Karen Wilkin, will lead a discussion about the material genius of Jules Olitski. I am fascinated by his relation to the Washington Color School… how much was just in the air and how much was direct influence? These two major curatorial brains will know if anyone does. This Saturday, October 20, 4:00 pm, in the American University Museum. An informal reception follows.

  (e)merge art fair garage 

  

  Emily Biondo and Melinda Hirt make underground art

  Despite power problems plaguing participants, the garage was where it was at… especially collaborations by AU students and former students Sam Scharf and Ryan Carr Johnson and Emily Biondo and Melinda Hirt… and I’m not just saying ’cause American University pays me to! (I wish!)
