Although every painting seems to have for its subject something old – a wall, a barn, a house in good repair or tumbling down – these paintings are not about nostalgia. They bring the past into the light of present day, and this juxtaposition of past and present, which always takes us by surprise, is the starting premise of his art.

rosemarieberger, the prince of petworth, and barack or why i love albus cavus
In Uncategorized on November 25, 2008 at 4:12 pmrosemarie berger was driving by 11th St and Park Rd. in Columbia Heights, D.C., last week and noticed a drop dead fantastic spray paint art of Obama on the construction fence around the old liquor store. She checked on the Columbia Heights e-list and found out that the whole thing was part of a public art installation project by Albus Cavus artist collective.
by Albus Cavus Collective
On Sunday, Nov. 9, artists from the DC area and the East Coast created a public art installation that seeks to lift up the Columbia Heights community spirit by improving aesthetic enjoyment. A dozen artists worked together with renown graffiti artists, like Tim CON and Leon Rainbow, in a live, outdoor presentation of art and people changing their environment. The artists covered the 80-foot fence of a construction site with color, imagination, and reflection.
“We are transforming an eyesore to eye-candy,” said Albus Cavus executive director Peter Krsko, the organizer of the art project. “Fences around building sites are usually to be endured, not enjoyed. In Columbia Heights, public artists and residents will smash that old construct with paint and spirit.”
Rosemarie’s no dummy and she got part of her source material from the prince of petworth himself who wrote:

Since April 2007 the Avon Hello Tomorrow Fund has awarded $5,000 each week to individuals to create or expand projects or programs to empower women. To date more than 8,000 dedicated women and men have applied, and nearly 90 have already won the weekly awards and are empowering women in their communities.
Metropolitan DC based Shauna Lee Lange Arts Advisory has already submitted proposals for empowering young women’s self-esteem through the telling and sharing of women artist’s life stories via a moving and powerful powerpoint presentations delivered to high school students in DC. The presentation focuses on adversity and how these well-known artists overcame it through the use of creative inspiration. The program is designed for inner-city DC schools and students - long suffering from lack of funds, qualified educators, visionary administrators, and hope.
The Hello Tomorrow Fund will be continuing for a third year, but with a changed format. If you or someone you know is interested in applying under the current guidelines, don’t delay! December 1 is the deadline to apply for a chance to win the weekly award under the current criteria, so spread the word and apply today.

art space herndon's iron road show exhibit
In Uncategorized on November 25, 2008 at 3:12 pm
December 2, 2008 thru January 4, 2009
Herndon’s history was shaped by the W&OD train line. As a dairy community, it relied on trains to move produce, product and people into and out of our historic town. The rich history of our relationship with trains will be tracked and explored as part of the Iron Road Show Exhibit in December.
Works in all media will be included in the railroading theme exhibit. As a special holiday treat, mark your calendar to visit the Model Railroad Show on December 13-14, featuring HO and N Scale layouts.
Rail fans, as well as families and local history buffs, will enjoy this fun event. For more information and hours, call the art center at 703-956-6590 or visit us online at www.ArtSpaceHerndon.org.
