Renee Butler, Movement in B Flat, 2005–2006.
Tonight I'll (grudgingly) cross the river for the opening of "Conversions" at the Ellipse Arts Center in Arlington. It's juried by the Podestas, Sam Gilliam, and Dennis O'Neil—none names you need to Google. "Conversions" is "[a]n Exhibition exploring spatial interpretation juries from three distinct points of view." Putting that through my reverse-reverse-Babelfish filter, it's heavy on the sculpture and installation, with site-specific insties to boot. Haven't seen new works by Michele Kong in the area in a while (since "Empire of Sighs", I think). Amy Martin Wilbur doesn't even have a Web site, so it's always a surprise to me when her work pops up.
Works by Renee Butler, Kathryn Cornelius, Susan Eder and Craig Dennis, Tai Hwa Goh, M. Sedestrom Guthrie, Lisa M. Kellner, Michele Kong, Tomas Rivas, Joan Sarah Wexler, Ami Martin Wilbur, Amy Glengary Yang.
