In Chocolate City Rest in Peace, photographer Steven M. Cummings documents the many changes that Washington, DC has experienced since 1991. After living here for 22 years, he has come to realize the city is chocolate no more. The final curtain is beginning to draw on the black majority. This exhibit puts forth a small selection of the scenes he has captured. The included images attest to the special relationship he has formed with the city.

Two new exhibitions opening this Friday at The Gallery at Vivid Solutions and Honfleur Gallery

The Gallery at Vivid Solu/ons and Honfleur Gallery are pleased to announce two exhibitions opening April 26, 2013. Figures in Jazz by John K. Lawson at Honfleur Gallery presents large-­‐ scale vibrant collage portraits of jazz legends, including Louis Armstrong, Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Nina Simone, Wynton Marsalis, and Miles Davis. Unsung Jazz by Antoine Sanfuentes at The Gallery at Vivid Solu/ons brings together the photographer’s ongoing project of documen/ng the local jazz performers who have had a substan/al impact on jazz in Washington, DC but are rela/vely unknown outside the area. There will be a joint opening recep/on with the ar/sts on Friday April 26, 2013 from 6-­‐8 p.m., with a performance by the Nasar Abadey Trio from 8-­‐10 p.m. There will be two addi/onal jazz performances at Honfleur Gallery during the course of the exhibi/ons; on May 16th and on June 6th.

John K. Lawson was born in Birmingham, England in 1962 and raised mostly in the countryside un/l his family moved to South London when he was a young teenager. He first came to America on a student exchange program in engineering at Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge. There his ar/s/c abili/es were encouraged, and he returned to England two years later to concentrate on landscape pain/ng. Eventually, Lawson was drawn back to the Deep South, and soon became part of an underground art culture in New Orleans that included working in tacoo, T-­‐shirt and mural designs long before these mediums became mainstream. Hurricane Katrina submerged his studio and destroyed 25 years’ worth of artwork and ephemera. Lawson began to rework the damaged remnants into collages and started working in the manner in which he made the Figures in Jazz portraits.

Friday, April 26th, 6pm - 9pm at the Anacostia Arts Center

Poulet et Gaufres 

Poulet et Gaufres (that's Chicken and Waffles to you and me) will be popping up in Anacostia April 26th, 6-9pm, in conjunction with Honfleur Gallery and The Gallery at Vivid Solutions'  Figures in Jazz and Unsung Jazz exhibits. What better way to celebrate an evening of jazz portraits and music (provided by Twins Lounge) than with food that originated in Memphis in the late night hours after the jazz clubs shut down. You probably didn't know that chicken and waffles began as a dish eaten in the pre-dawn hours when restaurants would make use of left-over chicken for their breakfast customers. 

Poulet et Gaufres offers its modern spin on this classic combination with waffle cones, Belgian waffles, biscuit waffles, mango chipotle ketchup, pickled chicken with tomato jam, 16 Spice Chicken, and other amazing flavor combos.  Let the tradition live on!

Buy a ticket for just chicken and waffles, or chicken and waffles plus a beer. Tickets can also be purchased day-of at the door, but availability is not guaranteed.  Free parking is available for those who purchase tickets in advance.

WCP reviews "Home" exhibit at The Gallery at Vivid Solutions

Benjamin Rassmussen
"The Oldest Village," 2011

Go HERE to read the full article by Kriston Capps.

Excerpt:

Elsewhere in the show, Rasmussen gives us signs of life to drive home that this is his lived experience, including photos of an Easter-egg toss in Meriden, Wyo., and another of village kids horsing around in Balabac. Candid moments make these photographs feel remote, like memories captured in snapshots—but they are presented at a scale that undoes their intimacy. That’s the real struggle in this exhibit: The large prints promise tactile detail and signal authorial remove, whereas “home” is a construct made of memory, nostalgia, and longing. He’s giving us the Faroe Islands and Balabac and rural Wyoming, unfiltered. Home is anything but unfiltered.
