I was just looking up info on Buck Downs' show at DCAC when I found out I missed Brandon Morse and Richard Chartier on a panel discussion last week. It was part of a series, the rest of which have some interesting folks:

In the DCAC blackbox theater:
Who Do You Love? Parts I-IV
Artist Talk series hosted by Ian Jehle
January 8 + 22 and February 5 + 12 at 7:30
Admission: Free
DC artists are exposed to a tremendous quantity and range of art through our abundance of major museums. So, how has this unusual exposure to "great" works and "great" museums affected the work artists are making here and now in DC?

4 part panel series moderated by Ian Jehle:

Jan 8 - Part 1: Time-based Media - panelists: Richard Chartier, Kathryn Cornelius, Jeffry Cudlin, Brandon Morse, Jefferson Pinder

Jan 22 - Part 2: Abstraction, not Abstraction - panelists: Jonathan Bucci, Isabel Manalo, Jiha Moon, Jack Rasmussen, Robin Rose

Feb 5 - Part 3: Using the Figure - panelists: Lisa Bertnick, Nekisha Durrett, Allison Miner,Michael O'Sullivan, Erik Sandberg

Feb 12 - Part 4: Installation, Site-specific - panelists: Mary Coble, Jayme McLellan, Ira Tattelman

Talking points will include:

  • "Who's your great grand daddy?" - artistic lineage: personal and public
  • "Within these hallowed halls" - public museums as the apex of the art venue pyramid
  • "Raphael is my copilot" - technique, refinement and presentation vis-a-vis the Old Masters
  • "The boys and girls of spring" - the influence of major collectors (Phillips, Mellon and others)
  • "What's not to love" - gaps in the DC artistic paean
  • "And now ..." - where does individual practice and our local art scene intersect the contemporary art world?
