 The Pink Line Project (aka Philippa Hughes), Artomatic (now in its tenth anniversary year!) and the Capitol Riverfront Business Improvement District are teaming to put on a three-day Valentine’s weekend art/music extravaganza centered around some snazzy new residential buildings in the waterfront Navy Yard Metro area. The event is Friday and Saturday, Feb. 13 and 14th 6 – 9 pm and Sunday, Feb 15 2 – 6pm.
Philippa has the job of programming the art, which will be hung in a unit or two of each of the buildings. Artists are to be selected from Artomatic veterans. So, Philippa asked me to curate one of the units in the Axiom Building (100 I St. SE) and I asked (bludgeoned) Sondra Arkin to help. (Where do they get these names for new condos? Axiom sounds like a Japanese car, which sounds like an oil company. They spend piles of dough hiring naming companies to come up with these meaningless syllables that are presumably supposed to evoke some vaguely futuristic cool feeling that you want to be part of. But I digress. And I also probably bite the hand….)
