February 8 - March 15: Works by Mary Chiaramonte and Jessie Mann.
Long View Gallery ,1302 9th ST NW, Washington, DC 20001
Mary Chiaramonte grew up in rural West Virginia where she spent most of her childhood drawing,
painting, and cultivating the imagination. With a slight obsession with “the human story”, she has
developed an interest in documenting personal issues and intimate moments.
Jessie Mann is both a photographer and painter, daughter of photographer Sally Mann, whose
projects she assisted and taught her a great deal about art and its role in life. In addition to the visual
artists she was surrounded by, Jessie’s paintings are influenced by her studies in psychology. She
calls them, “little proofs, of both the manifold action of perception and the will of consciousness.” A
drip-making technique is her way of symbolizing a unique imprint of personal interpretation of events
in the world.

Akemi Maegawa: Invisible, Inc. February 23 to March 29.
Irvine Contemporary Art, 1412 14th Street NW, Washington DC 20005
The exhibition features the artist’s sculptures and installation works in a wide range of media and materials,
including works in ceramics and fabric. The exhibition investigates the invisible cultural values that surround
art objects and the making of art value, opening up the art world's practice as Invisible, Inc. The works
engage playfully with ongoing questions about an art work's conceptual basis, the status of the material
object, and the effects of scale, size, and materials.
