BADC at DCAC

I think that DCAC shows the most eclectic collection of exhibits from month to month of any venue in town. Up a narrow staircase in the middle of bar-overburdened always buzzing Adams Morgan, you never know what you’ll find, which is a good summary of the spirit of the District of Columbia Arts Center. While the name may suggest a semi-governmental agency, rest easy that DCAC is not bureaucracy-approved.

This month the show is “Black”, organized by the Black Artists of DC. It’s a juried show curated by Amber-Robles Gordon and Daniel T. Brooking. The artists were asked to express their individual perceptions of blackness.

I couldn't resist Anne's joy
Many of DC’s stalwarts have work presented, including Aziza Claudia Gibson-Hunter and Michael B. Platt (both also represented in “Zeitgeist II: what’s Important Now” at Nevin Kelly) and Alec Simpson. I love his postcards from Berlin, created of ashes and other detritus.
The opening was full of gorgeous folk, wonderfully integrated for a DC art crowd, and lots of fun.
