Winter Museum Exhibitions Open American University Museum at the Katzen Arts Center Admission is free. Kids@Katzen: The Photographic Life Saturday, January 28¬–Tuesday, February 28 Photographs by Kids@Katzen participants inspired by the exhibitions Re-viewing Documentary: The Photographic Life of Louise Rosskam and Wayne Barrar: An Expanding Subterra. Raoul Middleman: City Limits Saturday, January 28–Saturday, March 18 Baltimore maestro Raoul Middleman’s nudes are not pretty— they are sagging, dimpled, and real. His cityscapes reveal the underbelly of post-industrial rot, his narrative paintings give contemporary life to his personal obsessions. They are intelligent, messy, and utterly masterful. Regaining Our Faculties: Zoë Charlton, Tim Doud, Deborah Kahn, and Luis Manuel Cravo Silva Saturday, January 28–Saturday, March 18 Recently returning from sabbaticals (sab·bat·i·cal) adj any extended period of leave from one's customary work, especially for rest, to acquire new skills or training), American University faculty members Zoë Charlton, Tim Doud, Deborah Kahn, and Luis Manuel Cravo Silva used their time wisely. Anil Revri: Faith and Liberation through Abstraction Saturday, January 28–Sunday, April 15 Anil Revri’s paintings function as aids to meditation, while at the same time the process of their creation is itself an act of meditation. They are beautiful, their craft is breathtaking, but their success depends on whether they further us, and the artist, along in the process of our own enlightenment. Gabarrón’s Roots Saturday, January 28–Sunday, April 15 The sculptures and paintings of Cristóbal Gabarrón have been seen in hundreds of exhibitions around the world, but never in Washington, D.C. Here, his vibrantly colored sculptures are larger than life, yet human in scale and effect; his painted tondos evoke archaeological and zoological mysteries.
