Weekend Art Roundup

It's a slow weekend around here, since it seems like everyone is going to New York for The Armory, but here are a few things to check out.

Thursday

- Head to the Hirshhorn at 7 p.m. to see artists Theresa Hubbard and Alexander Birchler discuss Eight, right, their film that is part of the Cinema Effect.

Friday

- For an art party, hit to the Arlington Arts Center for the closing of Wreckfest at Tiffany's. The show is part of Collectors Select, in which area curators filled a room to their choosing. Philippa Hughes juxtaposed Tiffany windows that were in her room with tags by local graffiti artists. 3-11 p.m. Anyone want to dash out after work with me?


Sunday

- ArtCade Crit Night features a sneak preview of the thesis work by American University MFA students. Jeffrey Cudlin of the AAC and City Paper will be speaking. 6:30-9 p.m. at the Katzen Center, 4400 Massachusetts Ave., NW.

Also of note

- Go get your tickets for Hirshhorn After Hours on April 4. The tickets for the art party with music, drinking, and activities really sell out and you really want to be there.

- The National Gallery closes a couple of shows this weekend. Oh, and this is also the last weekend to go see the Stephen Colbert portrait before it leaves the NPG!

Too bad there aren't any events at the Hirshhorn this weekend. ;-o

[reposting with the right link] For those not heading up to NYC, the DCist weekend arts agenda caught my eye today--in particular Corcoran professor Lisa Blas's exposition, Meet Me at the Mason Dixon Line which closes this Sunday at the Meat Market Gallery in Dupont. Her work explores "the connection between identity and national heritage, locality and current events" in America through 19th century artifacts. Artist talk Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m.

The lisa blas thing sounds interesting, but ultimately frustrating. Still, unfortuante that I must miss it.
