Internationally renowned artist Doug Aitken (b. California, 1968; lives and works in Los Angeles and New York) will transform the Hirshhorn’s iconic circular building into “liquid architecture.” Using approximately eleven high-definition projectors, Aitken will seamlessly blend imagery to envelop the entire façade of the Gordon Bunshaft–designed structure with a 360-degree panorama that will make the Museum recede into cinematic space—rotating, rising, and evolving into new forms. Exploding film conventions, the work cannot be viewed from any single perspective or at any single moment in time. Visitors must walk the perimeter of the building in order to experience the work more fully. This site-specific commission will remain on view each evening for nearly two months. More than a temporary artwork, this truly original piece will also become part of the Hirshhorn’s permanent collection, enhancing its ever-expanding holdings of cutting-edge time-based media.

D/CLAW’s next event, Saturday, March 10, will raise money for DC Firefighters Burn Foundation and their kids summer camp. Among the eight ladies competing Saturday for the league’s coveted prize, the Golden Bicep, are two local firefighters from the District and Virginia.

WHEN: Saturday, March 10. Doors open at 7:30 p.m., match starts at 8 p.m.

WHERE: American Legion Post 8 on Capitol Hill—conveniently located a few blocks from Capitol South metro stop at 224 D Street, SE.

WHY: It’s hilarious and you can feel good about raising money for charity!

COST: Tickets $5 at the door! Plus everyone is encouraged to bet on their favorite wrestler each round. In every round, the person who bets the most on the winning wrestler will receive a prize. All the betting money goes to charity.

WHO IS THIS FOR: The D.C. Firefighters Burn Foundation is a non-profit founded by active and retired Washington, D.C. Firefighters. Their mission is to prevent burns and improve the quality of life for burn survivors through programs, education and research. Every summer the Foundation sends burn survivors to a week-long summer camp. The program is offered to any young burn survivor ages 8-18 in the Washington Metropolitan Area at no cost and includes transportation along with the supervision of a burn nurse and a firefighter.

Fashion Icon for men: Chris Pontius

Being that I love DC United and the city of DC, I choose to stick with a hometown boy!  Chris Pontius is Forward/midfielder for the DC United.  I decided on him, for a couple reasons.  Instead of Beckham, we have Pontius, He's a hot guy and dresses well, from the pictures below he looks great in any of the uniforms UNITED has.  SCREAMING EAGLES

Phoenix Bikes (a local non-profit youth/community bike shop) is having a spring bike sale:

As usual, all of the bikes we are selling have been donated by people in the DC/MD/VA area and are worked on by young people and volunteers in our mentoring program. Each bike has been tuned up and checked out by a bike mechanic, and is ready to ride. All of the proceeds from the bikes sold will go to support our youth program that teaches youth to work on bicycles.

We will have over 30 bikes for sale including mountain bikes, road bikes, hybrid bikes, single speeds and cruisers. There will be a good mix of sizes of bicycle along with an assortment of locks and helmets.
