“Washington Center of ADA University, ADA Art Gallery is an extension of ADA University’s Art Program, welcomes our Fall 2023 exhibition: The Three-Body Problem: Dale Appleman, Michal Hunter, Jack Rasmussen. The Artists combine representational works, abstractions, and collages made by artists whose attractions are aesthetic rather than gravitational. Must the exhibition spiral into chaos, or can the artworks somehow hang together in a dynamic and fruitful balance? One must visit the exhibition to see. 

The Three-Body Problem is a science fiction novel by Chinese writer Liu Cixin. Cixin observes that when two celestial objects get close to each other, their gravitational attraction influences the paths they take in a way that a simple mathematical formula can describe. But, when a third object is added, things are no longer so simple: the interactions between the three objects become unpredictable. 

As different as the three artists are, each begins with representational imagery and allows wildly different aesthetics and processes to transform images into objects of nuance and emotion. The path each artist takes is unpredictable, and the ramifications of their interactions in space and time in the Art Gallery of the Washington Center at ADA University are equally unpredictable. To paraphrase the title of a Jimmy Buffett live concert album, you have to be there.

Perspectives of Peace

A Group Painting Exhibit featuring

Sabiha Iqbal, Carolee Jakes, and Eleanor Wang

Curated by J.S. Herbert and Halley Stubis

July 6, 2023 - November 2, 2023

 

“Drops of Fear or Dew” by Sabiha Iqbal

“Dance on the Lawn” by Eleanor Wang

 

“Island” by Carolee Jakes

Perspectives of Peace is a collective meditation on the universal value of peace, between individuals and the wider world. Studio Gallery artists Sabiha Iqbal, Carolee Jakes, and Eleanor Wang use luscious colors to conjure their personal definitions of what a harmonious world can and should be. They offer an urgent evaluation: if our world doesn’t give us the same emotions as these pieces do, how can we change to make it so? Exhibited at the Stimson Center, the show connects to the Center’s work on international security and prosperity. The incredible body of work that our Studio Gallery artists have produced also promotes unity and harmony alongside that mission. It’s our hope that this show will conjure thought-provoking discussion yet also provide viewers with a little oasis of peace.

Reception:

Tuesday October 3rd, 4-6pm at the Stimson Center. RSVP and by invitation only;

Bridging the Disconnect

A Group Photography Exhibit featuring

Gary Anthes, J.S. Herbert, and Jo Levine

Curated by J.S. Herbert and Halley Stubis

“High Contrasted Image” by J.S. Herbert

“Crazy Quilt” by Jo Levine

“Tonle Sap Lake and Village of Kompong Phluk, Cambodia” by Gary Anthes

Bridging the Disconnect is a reflection on how our environments shape us, and how technology, or the lack thereof, impacts our cultures and wellbeing. Taking a look through the lenses of Gary Anthes, Jo Levine, and J.S. Herbert’s cameras, we have the opportunity to see across the world, if just for a moment. How do our lives differ from others’, and how do these differences show up in the physical cities we live in? The Stimson Center’s mission is to promote international security and shared prosperity through applied research and independent analysis, global engagement, and policy innovation. Studio Gallery’s photographers offer their own artistic perspectives on these themes through this special body of work, focusing visually on urban architecture across the world and the people living amongst it. From Cambodia to Mexico to Washington D.C., the contrast in advancement is clearly evident. With this special photography exhibit, we hope to bring awareness to these societal imbalances. 

Reception:
Thursday, May 11th from 5-7 pm at the Stimson Center. RSVP and by invitation only;

Nothing Gold Can Stay

Suzanne Yurdin

Curated by J.S. Herbert and Halley Stubis

November 3, 2022 - March 3, 2023 (extended to April 6th)

Studio Gallery and the Stimson Center are excited to present a new collaborative exhibition by Suzanne Yurdin. This show is available for viewing at the Stimson Center in Dupont Circle by appointment only.

Suzanne Yurdin’s paintings use the fragility of nature as a catalyst to awaken our senses to our vanishing natural landscape. This exhibition of paintings explores themes of growth, change, decomposition, and regeneration. Through gestural brushwork and intuitive mark making, the work connects the viewer to their sense of place on Earth and seeks to energize our efforts to save the beauty of places that cannot be replaced.

Nature’s first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf’s a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
-Robert Frost
