Brown Wing Overdrive
(04 May 2009) - Last month I saw Brown Wing Overdrive open for Black Pus (the solo project of Lightning Bolt's Brian Chippendale). The band—which formed in DC and relocated to NYC—uses electronics, found objects, banjos, duck calls, jaw harps and whatever else they can get their hands on to make jerky, syncopated, yelping noise. At times referencing shamanistic traditions, at others drawing from Kabuki, the band doesn't...

Graham Caldwell: Anatomies
(19 February 2007) - DC-based artist Graham Caldwell transforms glass into sculptures with claws, spikes and other unusual shapes, using the familiar material to conjure disembodied biomorphic shapes. His current solo show "Anatomies" looks at the structural elements of " ribs, teeth, anemones, forests, fungi, fingers, and bodies" to explore "the anatomy of the viewer, the anatomy of glass, and the anatomy of natural things." Anatomies 17 February-31...

Leo Villareal: Origin
(30 October 2006) - Taking on Newtonian physics, Origin, New York-based light artist Leo Villareal's latest work, integrates the Laws of Motion into a computer code that controls an LED grid. Though randomized, the sequences created suggest biological patterns and, measuring nearly seven feet tall by 27 feet long, the large scale of the installation lends an experiential dimension and a god-like, macro point-of-view to the show. Origin...

Busboys and Poets
(17 May 2006) - Busboys and Poets, a restaurant/bookstore/coffee shop/bar/theatre/art gallery established in 2005, celebrates the unique cultural diversity of its location by creating a kind of progressive, "po-mo" salon for people in the U "who believe that social justice and peace are obtainable."

Simply Home
(12 May 2006) - During a stroll through the up-and-coming "U" Street district of Washington DC last weekend, I stumbled on the mini-universe of Simply Home, an all-encompassing home design store and restaurant. In one room they have a fascinating array of artifacts and products, thanks to an ongoing collaboration with villagers all over Thailand, and in the other you find yourself in a far-east Asian minimalist dining...

Ursula 1000: Here Comes Tomorrow
(03 February 2006) - "Savoir Faire is everywhere!" Ever since I first met this very unassuming maestro back in 1999 at DC's infamous Eighteenth Street Lounge, I've always been impressed with the high contrast between Alex Gimeno's mild-mannered in person demeanor and his jet set persona "Ursula 1000," a name that is defined by swift navigation of stylistic currents, savvy sense of humor (in song titles, art work...

Today's Front Pages
(17 January 2006) - A project of the Newseum, Today's Front Pages began in 1997 as an exhibit when the museum first opened in Arlington, VA. When the museum re-opens in its new Washington D.C. location (currently slated for 2007) they will display 80 newspapers in a gallery that looks out on the U.S. Capitol. Similarly, the online component that launched last year is a daily compendium collecting...
