See the Long View Gallery invite here. Also check out Metroweekly's article on Jeff McElhaney, creator of the exhibited ads. He tells the magazine:
The ads are near and dear to my heart. There are a lot of ghosts standing next to me when I'm holding these ads. I've lost so many friends.
Thanks to his ads, however, it's likely McElhaney saved quite a few, as well.
Jeff is Creative Partner at Brand-Aid Creative in Washington, DC. He just found Posterous—we hope he starts using it!

I met Dave Richardson at Aaron Gallery in Dupont Circle. He tells me that Zenith Gallery will be hosting a "Meet the Artist" reception for him at Chevy Chase Pavilion, so come see him as he presents his work a day before the exhibition opens. The reception is on December 9 from 6-9pm, and the show, called The Soul of Seoul, will be on display from December 10 through February 28, 2010. See the press release here.
Congrats, Dave, I look forward to seeing your work!

At Project 4, Laurel Lukazewski’s Sakura is the signature piece of her new show, “Once.” It’s an installation of 3,020 delicate porcelain cherry blossoms—the number coincides with how many trees were given to our city by Japan—covering the two-story walls of the gallery. By the baseboards, petals are strewn about, for even though these flowers look newly blossomed, Lukazewski won’t let us forget that natural beauty is fleeting—a message that, when cemented in porcelain, seems somewhat contradictory, as delicate as its medium. It’s as though Lukazewski takes us through the seasons: flowers in summer, piles of leaves in fall, the swirls of snow in the winter, and a waterfall-like cascade of rain in the spring; all four a reminder to be more deliberate, thoughtful, and grateful.
A beautiful piece in the City Paper. I hope you get to see Laurel's installation.

Curation is the latest trend, so we thought you might like to share tidbits that inspire you--as they come. Tell Me DC is a local design scrapbook edited by DC graphic and web designers (we are 3 for now). A fun experiment. Become part of it.

“Flight Patterns” are not just for the birds. Though the title of Phil Nesmith’s show at Irvine Contemporary is quite literal for his glass-plate images of birds and insects, flight unites his show with the concurrent exhibition by Oliver Vernon. Both are characterized by movement through air, but with completely divergent approaches. Nesmith, whose medium is photograms (a method in which exposures are made directly on photosensitive black glass plates), captures delicate, subtle movements. Vernon, on the other hand, creates futuristic abstract landscapes that look as tenuous as Jupiter’s—stormy gases and debris, rotating and swirling together in orbit. Nesmith’s birds and insects are restricted in their flight by the glass jars in which he’s ensnared his subjects. Vernon’s paintings and a 3-D installation explode into space, bound by nothing.
