SATURDAY, JANUARY 2 4 - 6 PM
Curator's Office is excited to announce the gallery venue, Curator's Office @ Edgewood Studios, at 703 Edgewood Street NE, Washington, DC.
To launch this venue officially, Curator's Office is presenting an exhibition of noted artist
Jeff Spaulding
's sculptural work entitled
Vintage.
This warehouse building has a rich artist studio history in the city and has been the working space of some of the finest artists in the greater Washington, DC area including Siemon Allen, Kristina Bilonick, Kendall Buster, Patrick Craig, Tara Donovan, Ian Jehle, Patrice Kehoe, Patrick McDonough, Ledelle Moe, Jefferson Pinder, W.C. Richardson, and Yuriko Yamaguchi among numerous others. Jeff Spaulding, one of the original artists in this building, has had his studio here for almost 30 years.
The gallery space is in the studio building located above Mess Hall. A gray metal door with signage is the entrance to the studio building as you drive down Edgewood Street. It is located on your right. There is street parking on weekends. The closest Metro station is
Rhode Island Ave - Brentwood Station on the Red Line.
This artist studio building can be cold in January.
Please dress warmly.
Jeff Spaulding is known for his use and recombinations of cultural artifacts that allude to issues of politics, sex, violence, and loss of innocence.
Curator's Office is pleased to present select works from a time in Jeff Spaulding's
oeuvre
that focused predominantly on wood. Many younger audiences are not familiar with this body of work, as his choice of media has evolved over time. Yet his focus remains rooted in an exacting reductive
wabi-sabi
aesthetic.
The exhibition presents three large free-standing works and four wall-mounted sculptures. The resulting installation is a dynamic drawing in space.
Jeff Spaulding was born in Chelsea, Michigan in 1947. He lives and works in Washington, DC.
