Weekend Art Roundup

It's the weekend again, and here are some art events to see you through.

Friday

The Textile Museum, which I swear I am going to some day soon, opens Blue, the sister show to last year's Red. Blue celebrates the creative vision of contemporary textile artists working with natural indigo dyes and explores the history and significance of blue textiles across time and place.

The Passion of Dimension, a solo bronze sculpture show by Catherine Bohrman, runs at the Foundry Gallery, 1314 18th St., NW. Opening reception is tonight from 6-8 p.m. and closing reception is April 27 from 1-4 p.m.

Hirshhorn After Hours is tonight. Advance tickets are sold out, but there are still some left at the door.


Saturday

Hatnim Lee's large-scale, color saturated photographs are on display at Transformer Gallery. EDIT: She'll be giving an artist talk today at 2 p.m.

Irvine Contemporary opens Heidi Taillefer's show, Muses and Heroes (above), tonight with a reception from 6-8 p.m. Her work fuses realism with mythology and includes references to Victorian culture and science fiction.

Artist Cara Ober, who I talked to here, will be interviewed by art writers Kriston Capps and EDIT: Brandon Fortune, the curator of painting and sculpture at the National Portrait Gallery, at the Randall Scott Gallery tonight from 5-6:30.

Sunday

Head to the mall and visit the Freer and Sackler Galleries today. Patterned Feathers, Piercing Eyes, Edo Masters from the Price Collection closes on the 13th, and having seen it last weekend I can say it's well worth a trip.
