Following up on my first post, I had a chance to visit the Harry Warnecke exhibit yesterday after pancakes and coffee. It was fun/funny to see some far out characters... Can anyone explain why women used to wear the nets over the faces??? That was a big theme.
Little did I remember that The Art of Video Games was also there! I loved seeing old school games exhibited. WOW technology has come really far... Alec loved the show and had been waiting for it to come to DC so it made for a great day. For those gamers out there, there is A LOT on Mass Effect. They also have cool phones that you can listen to the bios/interviews on and you can play some of the games.
We rounded out our visit with The Black List, a series of photographs of prominent black artists, politicians and role-models, among others. Artist, Timothy Greenfield-Sanders, writes that the art and documentary that he produced is "of twenty prominent African
Americans of various professions, disciplines and backgrounds who offer
their own stories and insights on the struggles, triumphs and joys of
black life in this country and manages to re-define “blacklist” for a new
century in the process. The film is presented as a series of vignettes –
a kind of living portraiture – in which the subjects address the camera
directly as they tell their stories." I dug his meaning and stylistic approach. Read more on his project here and the other art that he does.
Off to Miami tomorrow!
