JESSICA CEBRA: CAVE
December 14 - January 25, 2014
For Transformer’s 11th Annual DC Artist Solo Exhibition, Jessica Cebra transforms the gallery space into a fantastical constructed cave, obsessively plastered with imagery drawn from the artist's personal museum souvenir postcard collection.
More event details here on Transformer's website and here on Facebook.
In 2010, Jess Cebra and Zach Storm made Transformer's gallery space into a living Snow Globe in partnership with the Washington Ballet. I had the honor of working there at the time, and it was one of the most magical gallery experiences I've ever had. I can not wait to see what Jess has in store for "Cave," and what Transformer has planned for the rest of 2014.
BEACHY
A ONE-NIGHT ONLY EVENT AT FURTHERMORE
52 O Street NW #202B
SATURDAY, DECEMBER 14, 7 - 11pm
During the darkest days of the year, Reuben Breslar, along with his Hospitality Team, will transform FURTHERMORE into a time machine, delivering winter-weary travelers to a brief, all-expenses-paid, deluxe vacation at the beach. This multi-sensory experience questions ‘togetherness’ and ‘community’ in an age of commodified, packaged getaways. Building upon Breslar's past experiments with installation art and public performance in the tradition of Alan Kaprow’s Happenings, participants will be led on a transcendental journey, filled with love, compassion, healing, vulnerability, sincerity, and TSA officials. Prepare to be transported to a place that is neither here nor there—and bring your bathing suit!

Reuben Breslar is a former Art Brains teacher, and so would have a special place in the heart of Make/Believe even if he wasn't such a thoughtful and exciting artist. But he is! One night only - don't miss this!
