Containment and Diversion
Thomas Burkett(September 1-October 2)
Opening Reception
Thursday, September 1, 6:30-8:30 p.m.
Catering provided by Windows Catering
Long View Gallery
1234 Ninth Street NW
Washington, DC 20001RSVP [email protected] August 30th
Long View Gallery is pleased to announce Containment and Diversion, featuring approximately 15 mixed media works on paper by
Washington-based artist Thomas Burkett. This marks the first solo show of Burketts young career. Thomas work explores topics
currently headlining news stories around the country. Wide spread water shortages in much of the south caused by the breakdown of
manmade containment and diversion equipment, exemplifies his belief in our inability to exact control over nature.
Growing up in the grandeur of the Western United States, Thomas Burkett gleaned an impression of invincibility and an air of
confidence that abundant land resources is a right of passage. Now, as an outside observer, he realizes his utopian West is both a
place of grandeur and illusion. An urban identity now confronts his notion of abundance with the reality of a water crisis and a
realization that we have settled in an environment that challenges our subversive tactics of control. Determined to examine our control
of water, the work in Containment and Diversion portrays the damming, diverting, and polluting of water - lifes most vital substance.

The Unexpected Patriot: How an Ordinary American Mother Is Bringing Terrorists to Justice

Speaker
Shannen Rossmiller
Hosted by John Hilboldt, Director, Lectures & Seminars
After 9/11, when the nation was still in shock over the unprecedented attack on U.S. soil, Shannen Rossmiller a mother of three in rural Montana and municipal court judgewas formulating a plan. Soon she was devouringliterature on Islamic culture, teaching herself Arabic, and preparing to infiltrate the central nervous system ofglobal terror: online networks. Her efforts succeeded beyond imagination. Posing as an Islamic terrorist underdozens of screen aliases, she joined forces with the FBI and started trolling jihadist chat rooms, striking upconversations at 3 a.m. with men as far away as Pakistan, and amassing evidence against an array of suspectedterrorists both at home and abroad. Her work laid the foundation for the online searches so crucial to lawenforcements fight against terror today.
Rossmillers husband, Randy, uncovered her double life after a chat room terrorist wiped out the familycomputer and reports rolled in that the Rossmillers were being targeted for reprisal. Undeterred, she started
working with the FBI on sting operations, involving everything from jihadist cells to weapons caches to bombplots, and bringing many of her targets to justice, as well as pioneering the digital entrapment tactics that are atthe forefront of todays war on terror. Her work has led to the founding a new field of espionage known as
cyber-counterintelligence, and she continues to work closely with the FBI to find and prosecute terrorists.

Solomon Sanchez, Mica Scalin, Zach Storm, Tang, and Jason Zimmerman. This exhibitioncelebrates Transformer's mission as a catalyst & advocate for emerging expression in the visual
arts and the many Corcoran College alumni we have worked with over the past ten years. As partof transformers at the Corcoran's Gallery 31, we are pleased to present Poesy/Poetry/Poeticswith Casey Smith on Thursday, September 15,
6 - 8 pm.
In tandem with transformers on view at the Corcoran, Transformer will present transformers: thenext generation in our 1404 P Street NW project space, featuring new works by five recentgraduates of the Corcoran College of Art + Design's class of 2011: Forest Allread, PavlosKaralis, Sarah Robbins, Aris Slater, and Victoria Shaheen.
On the relationship between the Corcoran and Transformer, Casey Smith, Corcoran Professorand Transformer Advisory Council Member, states: "Why is it that the students, faculty, andalumni of the Corcoran have shared such a close relationship to Transformer over these years? Iwould argue that it's not a matter of proximity, but rather a shared set of ideas about the role ofart in contemporary life. I don't mean 'contemporary life' in the abstract sense, but thiscontemporary life that unfolds during this particular time in this particular place. Transformer,like the Corcoran College of Art + Design, chooses possibility over predictability."

Solomon Wondimu: SKIN: America in Black & White
(September 2-30)
Born and raised in Ethiopia, Solomon Wondimu has been working on Human Skin Color
Project for the past five years. Wondimu questions the distinct classifications of peopleas "Black" or "White" which describes an opposition that does not actually exist in nature.In creating his works Wondimu uses a palette of 3,000 different colors he has collectedfrom skin-color swatches representing the multi-coloredness of individuals and people.
8/4/2019 bMichael Events This Week 31 August 2011
10/56
Going beyond the physical attributes of SKIN, Wonidmu's work is also about the conflictbetween the eye and the perceiving mind over the color of human skin. The eye sees itsworld without bias; however, the mind takes that information from the eye andtranslates it into social, political and religious master signifiers in order to further
agendas, particularly subjugation of the Other. Wondimu's work describes and exposesthis conflict as it exists in both the micro and macro levels.
Alison Sigethy: Sanctuary
(September 2-30)
Commemorating the 10th anniversary of 9/11, Alison Sigethy's Sanctuary attempts to
bring the viewer closer to achieving inner peace by taking them on a journey inside the
human body. Sigethy's belief in the power of the inner self, a place where one can truly
find peace, healing and forgiveness, has been the foundation in creating this work.
In Sanctuary, the body is represented by two multi-piece sculptures,each portraying a
different internal system. Breath, six large glass panels with undulating fabric and
shadows, represents the respiratory system. Life, four bubble tubes filled with intricate
glass components, represents the cardiovascular system. Both sculptures incorporate
sound and movement as an essential part of the experience.

Nothing seems to come between Elisabeth Lohninger and a
song. Her clear, warm alto voice gets directly at the heart of
the words with little embellishment, but a great deal of
sincerity and subtlety. The Austrian vocalist studied classical
music and jazz at the Bruckner Conservatory in Linz and
finished her studies with a masters degree in music and
English language and literature at the Mozarteum University
Salzburg. In a career that has taken her from the slopes of
the Austrian alps, where she sang folk songs as a young girl,
to jazz clubs, concert halls and the stages of international jazz
festivals, vocalist Elisabeth Lohninger has proven herself to be
a powerful and elusive talent.
In 1994, Lohninger relocated to New York and has releasedseven albums since then. On her CD Songs of Love and

Destruction (September 1st, 2010 Lofish Music) she yet
again charms listeners with her intimate delivery and insight
into a songs lyrics. Drawing on her love of pop music, as well
as jazz and her own originals, she has crafted an understated,
but deeply emotional album that looks at love, as one of her
favorite singer-songwriters puts it, "from both sides now."
Together with pianist Walter Fischbacher, bassist Gary Wang

Lohninger will showcase her wide range of form and feeling.

Speaker: Pamela Constable
From the book publisher: In Playing with Fire, acclaimed journalist Pamela Constable peels back layers of
contradiction and confusion to reveal the true face of modern Pakistan. . . . Constable takes us on a panoramic tour
of contemporary Pakistan, exploring the fears and frustrations, dreams and beliefs, that animate the lives of
ordinary citizens . . . From the opulent, insular salons of the elite to the brick quarries where soot-covered workers
sell their kidneys to get out of debt, this is a haunting portrait of a society riven by inequality and corruption, andincreasingly divided by competing versions of Islam.
About the speaker: Pamela Constable, a Public Policy Scholar at the Woodrow Wilson Center in 2010, serves as a
South Asia correspondent for the Washington Post. She has been covering South Asia since 1999, and spent four
years as the Posts bureau chief for the region, stationed in New Delhi and Kabul. Earlier, she spent nine years as
the Latin America correspondent for the Boston Globe, and served as journalist-in-residence at the Pew
International Journalism Program at Johns Hopkins Universitys School of Advanced International Studies.
Constable is the author of the 2004 bookFragments of Grace: My Search for Meaning in the Strife of South Asia ,

"Austria. Past, Present and Future"
by Hannes Androsch

Dr. Androsch will be available to sign copies of the
book, cost for one book is USD $70, cash only please.
Austria is no longer an "island of the blessed". It is time to re-
examine the myths and opinions about this country. In this
book, a team of noted scholars, experts and journalists take
on the task of correcting the image of Austria and the
Austrians. In the process they examine this countrys past and
present, but also its future. This multifaceted book provides
ample evidence that a love for Austria does not exclude
criticism of it, that patriotism must not automatically mean
glossing over the facts, and that it is essential to regularly
survey how Austria sees itself as well as how it is assessed by
outsiders.
With insightful essays and a wealth of carefully selected
pictures, this deluxe edition provides an authoritative and
comprehensive view of Austria.
Hannes Androsch, born in Vienna in 1938, was minister of
finance and vice-chancellor under Bruno Kreisky, director-
general of the Creditanstalt-Bankverein, and today is an
industrialist. He is involved in many areas of public life and
founded the non-profit "Hannes Androsch Foundation at the
Austrian Academy of Sciences". Androsch is much in demand
as commentator on current affairs as well as the publisher and
author of numerous publications.

Nordic-Baltic Security in the 21st Century: Continued Transformation Toward a Larger Role in the World?"
Wednesday September 7, 8:30 a.m.-3:45 p.m.
Atlantic Council

Washington, DC 20005
RSVP:[email protected](202) 778-4968
The Atlantic Council is pleased to invite you to an all-day conference on Nordic-Baltic security, which will examine key
strategic challenges for the countries of the Nordic-Baltic region, how to further strengthen regional cooperation, and how
the region can play a larger role in transatlantic and global security.
The Nordic-Baltic region has undergone a remarkable transformation since the end of the Cold War and the restoration of
the Baltic states' independence twenty years ago. Today, the region is characterized by economic dynamism, deep Euro-
Atlantic integration, and robust stability. As we look to the next twenty years, increasing regional cooperation and
integration offers the prospect of the region playing a much larger role in transatlantic and global security.
This conference is the capstone event of the Council's Transatlantic Initiative on Nordic-Baltic Security, a year-long effortsupported by Sweden's Ministry for Foreign Affairs. The Initiative seeks to raise the level of debate on Nordic-Baltic
security issues in Washington, as well as to provide actionable and policy relevant advice on how to further strengthen
Nordic-Baltic cooperation on security and defense issues in a transatlantic and global context. A compendium of issue
briefs on Nordic-Baltic security, covering a wide range of topics, will be released at the conference and several of the
compendium authors will serve as conference panelists.

Michael B Platt The Journey
"Ten Years After 9/11"is an exhibition featuring the work of thirty-nine international artists
commemorating the tenth anniversary of the event of September 11, 2001.
Co-curators Helen Frederick and William Dunlap were determined to create a venue for artists to
show work made in response to and in the wake of the cataclysmic events of 9/11. "It's not that
artists were any more or less effected by the events of 9/11 than anyone else," says WilliamDunlap. "The difference is that they respond by making concrete objects that want to be seen."
As Frederick and Dunlap explain, they curated the artists not specific artworks. In that light,

recorded, filtered, transformed and translated into powerful works of art over the past ten
years.

Liberty and Tolerance in an Age of Religious ConflictFriday,September 9, 9:15 a.m.-5:00 p.m.Georgetown University

3307 M Street NW
Suite 200
RSVP:http://berkleycenter.georgetown.edu/events/rsvp?id=liberty-and-tolerance-in-an-age-of-religious-
conflict
Religious liberty and tolerance are among the most central global issues facing us today. Too often scholars have
approached them solely as philosophical questions or abstract universal imperatives, obscuring their meaning and
significance within specific religious traditions. Any effort to deepen appreciation for religious liberty and
tolerance while excluding religious voices is bound to fail. In conjunction with Calvin College, the Berkley Center is
convening scholars and practitioners from Christian, Jewish, and Muslim backgrounds to examine and compare
resources supportive of religious freedom and tolerance within their own traditions. The participants are among
the contributors to a forthcoming book,Abrahams Children: Liberty and Tolerance in an Age of Religious Conflict.
The conference, made possible through the generous support of the John Templeton Foundation, will conclude
with an interfaith service in commemoration of September 11, 2001.
Each of the panels will address the following questions:
1. Historically, how has your tradition been exploited by opponents of religious liberty and tolerance? Does such
exploitation persist, and why?
2. What are the major resources within your tradition supportive of religious liberty and tolerance? What do they
add to dominant secular human rights discourse?
3. How can interfaith dialogue and activism advance the liberty and tolerance agenda? What dangers and pitfalls do
you see along the way?

Project 4 Presents:
Ellington Robinson: In Quest of The Sun
(September 9-October 15)
Opening Reception
Friday, September 9, 6:30-9:00 p.m.
Project 4 Gallery
1353 U Street NW, 3rd floor
Washington, DC 20009
(202) 232-4340
Project 4 Gallery is proud to present In Quest of The Sun, a solo exhibition of new work
by DC artist Ellington Robinson.
To Ellington Robinson, painting is a physical, psychological, and spiritual experience,
which includes a formal process and a narrative approach. By contorting and layering
collected materials such as travel documents, vinyl, record sleeves, and cassette tapes,
Robinsons works evolve and embody his quest.
In his new work Robinson explores the ways by which people reach their physical and
socioeconomic location. He asks: How do we arrive at our longitude, latitude, andaltitude? What determines our height, width, and depth within time zones. Robinson
recognizes that planes, trains and cars, religion, education, and labels are agents in our
migration, while also acknowledging a celestial agent where the ancestors dwell in
eternity and parallel universes. He employs interoffice envelopes where the names of
ancestors, musicians, freedom fighters, and literati are inscribed as a way of stating a
common thread; or cassette tapes in which the voices are there but cannot be seen or
heard. Further, Robinson draws from the study of his own location and travels. Railroad
tracks and floorboards of inner city row-homes are distinctive from the horizon of the
ocean in the Virgin Islands, visually representing the contrast between the two places
Robinson has called home.
Ellington Robinson earned his M.F.A. in painting and mix media at the University of
Maryland, College Park and his B.A. in English from Morehouse College, Atlanta, GA. His
work is in public and private collections including The David C. Driskell Center and the
Jean and Robert Steele Collection. Robinson currently lives and works in Washington DC.
Please join us for the opening reception of Ellington Robinson: In Quest of The Sun, with
the artist in attendance. Music by DJ I'Wah.

exhibition featuring paintings by Baltimore artist
Randi Reiss-McCormack in the solo space and an
installation by DC-based artist Matt Hollis in the
project space.
harmon art lab (HAL) is a creative collaboration that ties art curator, artist and viewer into
an interactive dialogue of ideas and engagement. HAL will exhibit the work of two risk-
taking artists per month working in a variety of media that will help to redefine
contemporary art in the DC area, one as a solo exhibition, the other as a site-specific
installation influenced by the space and the content of the artist's own work. This will offer
prospects for transformation as each artist creates something temporal and unique to thespace.
Along with the gallery, harmon art lab will publish a monthly online art paper inviting a
menagerie of guest writers to articulate refreshing and thoughtful perspectives about the
world of art as they see it. Unlike a traditional gallery website, the online art paper will also
include fascinating interviews with area artists, collectors, curators and critics, as well as
exhibition and installation images every month.
HAL will be open on Saturday and Sunday during the first week of exhibition, with events
such as artist talks, panel discussions and private functions throughout the month, and by
appointment after that.
harmon art lab is the creation of artists Peter e Harper and Thomas Drymon.
Randi Reiss-McCormack's work has been shown on both
coasts as well as in Europe. A prolific artist, an educator, awife and mother of three, her work involves themes of
domesticity mixed with patterns of pop culture and
impressionistic vibrancy resulting in a subtle social
commentary that embraces
the viewer, incites nostalgia,
and stirs thought.
Matt Hollis's work evokes a deep sense of nature,
transforming and enlarging it into an artificial realm that gives the viewer a new
perspective on how life interacts with itself.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (August 30, 2011) INDUSTRY will be launching its Fall 2011 design season with
the first U.S. solo exhibition of work by innovative British artist and designer, Tom Price. Specializing in
modern furniture products, sculpture and lighting design, process plays a key role in Prices work which has
been bought by international museums, galleries and private collectors. Much of Prices work is made using
unconventional materials. In fact, he often finds it necessary to invent new tools and techniques in order toget the required results from certain fabrications. But Price sees this as an intrinsic part of the overall
designand narrative.
"I like to think of myself as working in collaboration with materials, processes and phenomena and that the
final physical outcome is a product of mutual consent."
About Tom Price
A London native, Price attended several renowned schools
including the Royal College of Art. That background in FineArt informs his approach to design, which is typically very
sculptural in both appearance and concept. The vast majority
of Tom Prices furniture and collections are anything but
conventional. Represented in collections around the world,
recently two of Prices pieces were acquired by the Museum
of Modern Art in San Francisco.
Meltdown Chair-PP Stripe
Photo Courtesy of INDUSTRY
Included in this exhibition will be Prices coveted Meltdown Chairsa series of unique furniture pieces
made by melting a seat shape into a sculpted assembly of commonplace plastic products using a specially
designed heated former. Original to this exhibit is an homage to DC. When he visited last spring, Price fell
in love with the areas iconic cherry trees. Inspired by them, he has constructed a series of sweepi ng
sculptures out of plastic tubing, referencing the shapes of the trees and their blossoms. They will combine
to create a unique immersive and site-specific installation, taking over an entire room of the gallery.
Prices public commissions include a large-scale sculpture for a new square in the centre of Gloucester
(UK) and a sculptural installation for a restored Victorian grotto at the foot of the Royal Terrace Gardens, in
Torquay (UK). As an enduring tribute, Prices talent and techniques are referenced in many respected
design books including Desireby Elizabeth Honerla; Contemporary Furnitureby Martin Wellner and Andrea
Mehlhose; New TalentsThe State of the Arts by Hans Maier-Aichen and Second Lives: Remixing the
Ordinary by the Museum of Arts and Design, New York.

About
INDUSTRY21st Century Design Gallery
INDUSTRY is the premiere gallery in the US devoted to exhibiting the work of 21st Century design. Their
focus is on designers who create functional art from industrial materials. Offering single-artist exhibitions,
INDUSTRY represents a broad spectrum of international design trends through imaginative and limited
edition works that blur the boundary between art and design and redefine the relationship between
designer and gallery.
INDUSTRY MISSION is to introduce and promote designers and their work to US collectors, curators and
critics, to stimulate the conversation about the role design can play in theirs lives, and to inform the viewer
about the importance of contemporary design in this time and place.
INDUSTRY DIRECTOR Craig Appelbaum has been a collector and private dealer. He opened
INDUSTRY in 2010 to exhibit individual artists work within the frame of an installation, allowing each artist
to tell his or her own story through site-specific works designed to transform the perception of space.
"Many of the artists I show are producing pieces that are highly sought after by museums and collectors in
the rapidly expanding area of contemporary design. In the past decade the field has grown considerably as
measured by the increasing number of museum exhibitions, international art fairs such as Design Miami
and S.O.F.A., and attention by major international auctions houses including Christies, Phillips and
Sothebys."
INDUSTRY MENTORING PROGRAM In addition to showcasing established artists the gallery also has
developed an initiative to introduce the work of emerging designers and design students, offering them the
opportunity to exhibit in a professional environment and affording them a realistic gallery experience. And
while introducing new talent, at the same time gallery visitors will have a rare opportunity to view the work
of tomorrows designers showcasing innovative products from a new generation.

Confronting Terror: 9/11 and the Future of American National Security
Tuesday, September 13, 12:00-1:00 p.m.
Lehrman Auditorium
The Heritage Foundation
214 Massachusetts Avenue NE
Washington DC 20002-4999
RSVP:http://www.heritage.org/Events/2011/09/Confronting-Terror
Speakers
John Yoo, Professor of Law, University of California, Berkeley School of Law, and former Deputy Assistant AttorneyGeneral, Office of Legal Counsel, U.S. Department of Justice
Nadine Strossen, Professor of Law, New York Law School, and former President, American Civil Liberties Union
Hosted by Edwin Meese, III Ronald Reagan Distinguished Fellow in Public Policy and Chairman of the Center for
Legal and Judicial Studies
The 10th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks is an appropriate time for reflection, both as to
what the nation endured as a result of the attacks as well as whether the response has been appropriate. In
addition to providing their reflections on the 9/11 tragedy and its aftermath, distinguished legal scholars John Yoo,
Nadine Strossen, and Ed Meese will discuss their own and others contributions to Confronting Terror, a unique
collection of essays from principled supporters and critics of the law and policy of the war on terrorism.
Edited by Dean Reuter and John Yoo, Confronting Terrorsets the stage for a reasoned and robust discussion of the
future with a collection of provocative essays examining the meaning of 9/11. Other authors include former
Attorneys General John Ashcroft and Michael Mukasey, federal Circuit Judges Laurence Silberman and Raymond
Randolph, Richard Epstein, Alan Dershowitz, Johnathan Turley, and Bob Barr. The contributors present stark
differences of opinion on issues such as the Presidents authority to detain, the assertion of state secrets, the limits
of surveillance, the use of unmanned drones and targeted killing, the treatment and interrogation of detainees, the
Patriot Act, and the peculiar nature of our foe. More surprising, perhaps, are the areas of agreement, particularlythe fact that the policies of two very different Presidents are remarkably the same. In presenting these contrasting
views, the editors and contributors hope to clarify the debate, both for our society and for those responsible for
waging the war.

Art Whino Gallery

The event is FREE and open to the public.
Derailed 2, a solo exhibition featuring aerosol artist Tim Conlon. Derailed 2 pays homage
to the artists almost twenty-year love affair with freight train graffiti art. In this new
exhibition, Conlon will showcase a series of new works including life-size aerosol
paintings of aged freight cars; weathered model trains featuring scaled-to-size graffiti in
the bright colors and iconic characters for which Conlon is best known; and contemporary
photographs of trains and their environs.
About Derailed 2 Conlon says, I discovered freight train graffiti as a college kid in
Baltimore just as the scene was emerging. As one of the biggest port cities on the East
Coast, commercial cargo regularly arrived on large ships in Baltimore Harbor and was
transferred to freight trains headed toward big cities like Atlanta, Chicago, and Los
Angeles. Train cars were everywhere and as an art student with in interest in graffiti, it
was easy to get hooked on this revolving art gallery.
Conlon is best known for his large-scale murals and canvases. He was one of two aerosol
artists featured in the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallerys 2008 exhibition,

Public Surveillance Cameras: A Clear-Eyed Look at Their Implementation and Impact

Lunch will be provided at 11:45 a.m. The forum begins promptly at noon.

RSVP:http://www.eventbrite.com/event/1867697333
Panelists:

Nancy La Vigne, director, Justice Policy Center, Urban Institute
Jonathan Lewin, managing deputy director, City of Chicago Office of Emergency Management
and Communications Mike Semel, deputy local editor, news and investigations, Washington Post(moderator)
Cities are increasingly turning to surveillance cameras to reduce crime, but do they stop
wrongdoing in its tracks or simply push it into other neighborhoods? If the cameras perform as
intended, what are their costs to police budgets and citizen rights?
To fill the knowledge gap, the Urban Institutes Justice Policy Center studied surveillance
systems in Baltimore, Chicago, and Washington, D.C. The results of that three-year study --
Evaluating the Use of Public Surveillance Cameras for Crime Control and Prevention-- will be
detailed, discussed, and debated at this special Urban Institute forum.
In theory, surveillance cameras deter potential offenders, alert police to dangerous situations,
generate evidence to help identify suspects and witnesses, and make people feel safer. Join us
to find out how well theory works in real life.

Soulmates: Resurrecting Eve

In Soulmates: Resurrecting Eve, Juliana Geran Pilon argues for a return to an egalitarian view of men and women, found
in the original Genesis narrative, as reflected through Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. In each of these Abrahamic
traditions, it was understood that man and woman were created to be soulmates in God's image -equal despite their
different functions within society. Pilon writes that this original message has gradually been distorted, with disastrous
effect. Any hope for an ennobling human community begins by resurrecting Eve as an equal partner to Adam.
The work examines the Biblical creation narrative, comparing it to Greek and other ancient mythologies. Pilon explains
how the disturbing association of woman with sin and death led to Eve's demise as Adam's equal. The final section of the

work deals with the Goddess myth, love and marriage in early religious narratives, and modern man's search for his soul
no less than for a soulmate.
The book, at its core, is a meditation on the relationship between men and women but also among human beings. The
resurrection of Eve is indispensable to attaining a true appreciation of love and faith. Pilon uses religious texts, expert
commentary, and various works of fiction, poetry, and psychology to make her argument come alive. The work is
strengthened by the writing style, alternately poetic and humorous, and a clear and illuminating progression of ideas. Itsemphasis on reconciliation and understanding, and its post-feminist outlook will find a receptive audience.
