The Fridge: Pia Mater Gallery Opening

 

 

 

 

Please join us for the opening reception of Pia Mater featuring Jenny Sawle, Emily Francisco and Ashleigh Werner on April 6, 7 - 11pm.

The pia mater is the innermost layer of membrane surrounding the brain, the final delicate veil guarding the center of the nervous system. For their exhibition of the same name, the artists will dissect the concept of vulnerability through drawing, video, sculpture and performance.

The artists use non-traditional media to carry out their work. Jenny is showing drawings on ...pieces of fabric that are stitched together to create sculptural dresses and shirts. Ashleigh is covering a couch with drawings made using Sharpie markers (see progress images below). Emily is sculpting with outmoded technology such as a 90’s television set and objects that ask for interaction like furniture and musical instruments.

Find out more about the exhibit on The Fridge site: http://www.thefridgedc.com/portfolio/piamater/.

Find out more about Jenny Sawle and Ashleigh Werner’s work at their website www.allegoriacouture.com. More about Emily Francisco may be found at www.emily-francisco.com.



BODYTALK w/Eames Armstrong

 

BODYTALK with Eames Armstrong

Transformer Gallery

1404 P St.  NW

Washington DC

Saturday 12pm - 2pm

 

ARTIST TALK: Saturday, April 6, noon–2pm

Body Talk - A conversation led by Expansions artist Eames Armstrong the boundaries of the body and our conception of self, particularly in the context of technology & social media.

ABOUT EAMES
... Eames Armstrong is an interdisciplinary artist, curator, and founder of Aether Art Projects. She received her BFA from The School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston in 2010, where she studied studio art with emphasis on painting, writing, and performance. Armstrong’s practice considers memory and fantasy, with a particular interest in reprocessing materials of domestic spaces, representing the visualization of memory and the struggle to preserve it.

ABOUT EXPANSIONS
Transformer presents Expansions, featuring artists:
Eames Armstrong, Benjamin Edmiston, Matt Hollis, Victor Koroma, and Megan Mueller. Recognizing these five artists’ diverse talent, Transformer invites them to expand on their small to medium sized 2-D works on paper in our FlatFile program, utilizing the Transformer space to further develop existing themes and directions within their work through larger scale mixed-media installations, paintings, video animation, and sculptural works. In tandem with this exhibition, Transformer launches on-line sales of our FlatFile via our website, transformerdc.org, with works by each of the Expansions artists.

Introduced in spring 2007, Transformer's FlatFile consists of works in a variety of two-dimensional mediums including photography, painting, drawing and printmaking approximately 16" x 20" in size and smaller. Featuring works by regionally, nationally and internationally based emerging artists, the program is open to both artists that have exhibited with Transformer in the past and those who are new to Transformer. Expanding our mission to further connect and promote emerging visual artists with audiences and collectors, FlatFile works have been previously presented in art fairs such as ArtDC, No Soul For Sale (NYC), and (e)merge (DC), and offsite exhibitions including the internationally touring ALPTRAUM exhibition.

TEKA underground

 

 

 

TEKA.underground Level Two = SABB & ZENBI Opening Sounds By Chris Nitti Round Two of TEKA.underground sees the much anticipated return of SABB to the Lima DJ booth. Few DJs or producers inspire an entire genre with their style alone. SABB (Sabri Kastrati) has single handedly done just that. Hailing from the capitol of Kosovo, Prishtina, his Deep-Techy-Tribal-Hypnotic grooves have made him an important player in the electronic music scene over the last two years. ... ----------------------------------------------------- ▶ SABB - kosovo sk supreme records, noir music, great stuff www.facebook.com/sabbDJ www.twitter.com/sabbDJ www.soundcloud.com/sabb You can find many of Sabb's releases on some of the most respected and major underground electronic labels such as Audiomatique Recordings, Noir Music, Great Stuff Recordings, Defected, Toolroom Records, Cr2, Definitive, MBF, Connaisseur, Stealth Rec, Monique Musique, Nervous just to name a few. The last few months have been very busy for Sabb, seeing him remixing artists like Pleasurekraft, Wally Lopez, Chris Lake, Carlo Lio, Saeed Younan, Wehbba, Gary Beck, Supernova and Hector Couto, to name a few. Only a year after beginning his production career, Sabb's first record release, "Dead Corps," landed immediately on top 100 Beatport charts and was released on his own label, SK Supreme Records, as did his last 2 Original Releases. "Nasty Girl" released on Great Stuff Recordings jumped to #8 on the Tech House Charts and his "Cowbell Talk" released on his own imprint SK Supreme Records reached #32 and had several plays by Tanzmann & Squillace, Marco Carola, Luciano, Wally Lopez and many more. He also peaked twice at #2 on the Beatport Deep House Charts with "Sax On Wax" and his Summer of 2010 hit, "Ballkanika." The "Ballkanika" release also featured a remix by Mendo (which peaked at #3 on Beatport Tech House Charts) and has been licensed for Toolroom Knights and mixed by Mark Knight. Whether in a beach party in the United States or in a nightclub in Europe, Sabb's versatile DJ sets are fueled by spontaneous and subtle nuances, specifically aimed at the venue and crowd at the moment. ▶ ZENBI - dc great stuff, toolroom records, zenbi recordings www.zenbi.com www.facebook.com/djzenbi www.twitter.com/zenbi www.soundcloud.com/zenbi ZENBI’s signature ‘Good & Beautiful’ sound [Zenbi translates as Good and Beautiful in Japanese] has evolved into an infectious blend of sexy house, tech house, latin, and tribal grooves. On the road, ZENBI has packed crowds from Boston to Budapest, Milan to Miami, and performed at major dance music festivals including BPM, Miami Music Week, Winter Music Conference, Groove Cruise, SodaPop Milano, and ADE (Amsterdam Dance Event). At home, Zenbi holds monthly residencies at two of the premier house clubs in the US: Lima in Washington DC and Rumor in Philadelphia – where he shares a rotation with the likes of Chus & Ceballos, Morgan Page, Saeed Younan, and Oscar G. In addition, ZENBI is a resident of electronic music event production company AOE, where he has performed at large scale events with acts including Aviici, Alesso, Bingo Players, etc. The past year has brought a whirlwind of success for ZENBI’s studio works, which have caught the ears of a Who's Who list of labels including Skint, Hotfingers, Great Stuff, Twisted, Vendetta, Disc Doctor, Low Kik, SK Supreme, among others. A handful of ZENBI releases have graced the Beatport Top Ten – including Stefano Noferini’s remix of Double Trouble, which claimed the number one position on the Tech House charts for over a month. ZENBI’S releases have received massive support from an ever-increasing list of talented producers including Moby, Mark Knight, Marco Carola, Stefano Noferini, Roger Sanchez, Umek, Danny Tenaglia, Wally Lopez, David Herrero, Erick Morillo, Dubfire, Paco Osuna, David Penn, Satoshi Tomiie, and Uner (to name a few!).

The International

 

 

New DC-based magazine, The Intentional Quarterly, invites you to celebrate the launch of the first issue with an elaborate celebration on April 5th, 2013. After a year of intense brow-wiping and nail-biting, we're finally ready to unveil our first highly designed, beautifully bound and sharply written print issue. We're psyched to share the articles, art and literature we've curated, and we can't wait to discuss them with you over cocktails.

This private event will be hosted at mad momos' beautiful, expans...ive venue, including both floors and plenty of outdoor space. Come lend a hand with interactive art installations and dance to live music by local band SHARK WEEK. And, of course, be among the first to take home this much-anticipated magazine!

We will be whipping up a special cocktail for purchase at the bar, and the kitchen is open to those who have not yet tried the momos (which you must). The Pink Line Project is the official media partner for this event, and BYT will be making an appearance, as well.

Suggested attire is celebratory. You are likely to be heavily photographed - so, you know, choose carefully.

Two ticket options are available beforehand on the eventbrite page:
$8 - Admission only
$15 - Admission + the first issue (cover price $12). Math is not our strong suit, but we think that's a pretty solid discount.

Alternatively, tickets are $10 at the door, but space is limited.

Doors at 9, music begins at 10.
