conflict
Religious liberty and tolerance are among the most central global issues facing us today. Too often scholars have
approached them solely as philosophical questions or abstract universal imperatives, obscuring their meaning and
significance within specific religious traditions. Any effort to deepen appreciation for religious liberty and
tolerance while excluding religious voices is bound to fail. In conjunction with Calvin College, the Berkley Center is
convening scholars and practitioners from Christian, Jewish, and Muslim backgrounds to examine and compare
resources supportive of religious freedom and tolerance within their own traditions. The participants are among
the contributors to a forthcoming book,Abrahams Children: Liberty and Tolerance in an Age of Religious Conflict.
The conference, made possible through the generous support of the John Templeton Foundation, will conclude
with an interfaith service in commemoration of September 11, 2001.
Each of the panels will address the following questions:
1. Historically, how has your tradition been exploited by opponents of religious liberty and tolerance? Does suchexploitation persist, and why?
2. What are the major resources within your tradition supportive of religious liberty and tolerance? What do they
add to dominant secular human rights discourse?

Desnudo con Naranjas (Nude with
oranges)
A film by Luis Alberto Lamata
En el siglo XIX venezolano, lleno de guerras, brujeras y supersticiones, un indio y una
blanca deciden abandonarlo todo para amarse libremente; pero elbilongo (un amuleto
portador de riqueza y perdicin), la guerra federal, y el mismo destino, intentarn
impedirles su amor. Basado en un cuento de Robert Louis Stevenson.
In the nineteenth century in Venezuela, full of wars, witchcraft and superstition, an Indian
man and a White woman left everything to freely love each other, but the bilongo (a lucky
charm bearing wealth and ruin), the Federal war, and the fate itself, would try to prevent
their love. Based on a story written by Robert Louis Stevenson.

From the very beginning to the very end of his Presidency, Ronald Reagan was guided by the first principles of the
American Founding, especially the idea of ordered liberty. In the opening paragraphs of his first inaugural address
in 1981 much of which he personally drafted President Reagan echoed the preamble of the Constitution, calling
on We the people to do whatever needs to be done to preserve this last and greatest bastion of freedom
America. Eight years later, in his farewell address to the American people, the President said that the American
Revolution was the first revolution in the history of mankind that truly reversed the course of government, and
with three little words, We the people.

Under all circumstances, Reagan looked to the Constitution as his North Star. In his State of the Unionspeeches, Reagan referred to the Constitution more than any other president in the preceding 50 years anaverage of 16 times per speech. A survey of his presidential papers reveals 1,270 references to the Constitutionduring his eight years in the White Houseand another 113 mentions of the Declaration of Independence. Inthis forum, with two former Reagan cabinet members and two published Reagan historians, we will discuss howthe principles of The Founding and the Constitution provided the foundation for Reagans presidency and
ultimately influenced his every decision.

Ellington Robinson: In Quest of The Sun
(September 9-October 15)

Washington, DC 20009
(202) 232-4340
Project 4 Gallery is proud to present In Quest ofThe Sun, a solo exhibition of new work
by DC artist Ellington Robinson.
To Ellington Robinson, painting is a physical, psychological, and spiritual experience,
which includes a formal process and a narrative approach. By contorting and layering
collected materials such as travel documents, vinyl, record sleeves, and cassette tapes,
Robinsons works evolve and embody his quest.

In his new work Robinson explores the ways by which people reach their physical and
socioeconomic location. He asks: How do we arrive at our longitude, latitude, and
altitude? What determines our height, width, and depth within time zones. Robinson
recognizes that planes, trains and cars, religion, education, and labels are agents in our
migration, while also acknowledging a celestial agent where the ancestors dwell in
eternity and parallel universes. He employs interoffice envelopes where the names of
ancestors, musicians, freedom fighters, and literati are inscribed as a way of stating a
common thread; or cassette tapes in which the voices are there but cannot be seen or
heard. Further, Robinson draws from the study of his own location and travels. Railroad
tracks and floorboards of inner city row-homes are distinctive from the horizon of the
ocean in the Virgin Islands, visually representing the contrast between the two places
Robinson has called home.
Ellington Robinson earned his M.F.A. in painting and mix media at the University of
Maryland, College Park and his B.A. in English from Morehouse College, Atlanta, GA. His
work is in public and private collections including The David C. Driskell Center and the
Jean and Robert Steele Collection. Robinson currently lives and works in Washington DC.
Please join us for the opening reception of Ellington Robinson: In Quest of The Sun, with
the artist in attendance. Music by DJ I'Wah.

Ten years after 9/11, the United States and Pakistan have little to show for the strategic
cooperation they proclaimed in the aftermath of the attacks. The best way for the United States to help Pakistan is to stop
pretending that it can change the Armys dysfunction and stop enabling the military, writes George Perkovich in a
forthcoming piece. Instead, the United States should scale back its presence in Pakistan and redesign its approach to
civilian assistance in cooperation with more effective national and multinational actors.
Karen DeYoung, associate editor and senior national security correspondent for the Washington Postwill moderate a
discussion of U.S. policy toward Pakistan in the post-9/11 context.
Copies of the new publication, Stop Enabling Pakistans Dangerous Dysfunction, will be available.

Is Realism Relevant? Conner Contemporary Art enthusiastically says YES with three
concurrent solo exhibitions featuring new works by Erik Thor Sandberg, Nathaniel
Rogers and Katie Miller. Six centuries after Flemish oil painting branded the early
modern age, each of these DC area artists maximizes his or her command of the realist
technique to express the human condition in contemporary life. Engagement with current
issues imbues these painters works with the relevance of their own time, while their
informed references to artistic precedents casts present situations within a historical
perspective. With its world class Old Master museum collections, Washington is a
natural home for realism. Representational painting began to make a resurgence here in
the 1970s, in the wake of the prominent Washington Color abstractionists. Today,Sandberg, Rogers and Miller are at the leading edge of contemporary realism in DC.

ERIK THOR SANDBERG unleashes allegories of our increasingly complex relationship
with nature through narratives of power and passivity that unfold across panoramic
vistas in Reparatory Gestures, his fourth solo exhibition with the gallery. Sandberg, who
has repeatedly demonstrated mastery of the human figure and landscape as a subjects,
emphasizes the viewers body in the experience of the topographies depicted in the fourlarge concave paintings that anchor this new series. The artist designed curved panels
to envelope us in captivating expressions of mans manipulations of the environment.
Sandberg impressed artificiality on each wilderness landscape with depictions of
intrusive human activity, or vestiges of it, such as a port-a-potty, picnic fixings, and
guardrails. Whether his characters are engaged in libidinous acts, or immobilized by
uncertainty, the contexts in which we find them question the ultimate consequences of
their choices. As the picture planes bend, so do the meanings that play out across them.
The concave arch of each panel pushes and pulls the ideas represented on it, diverting
them from a predetermined linear progression into elusive possibilities for our thoughts
to follow. Sandberg reminds us that our personal and collective journeys may lack sure
direction or fixed outcomes. Yet, he also suggests, with flawlessly rendered details,
including glistening drops of nectar and multi-colored birds eggs, that natures powers of
imaging and reparation are ceaselessly at work, leaving us with hope that these forces
can restore the balance that man repeatedly compromises.
NATHANIEL ROGERS presents vivid analogies of human phenomena surrounding the
concept of crisis - how we create it, deal with it, or ignore it - in When Disaster Strikes,
his second solo exhibition with the gallery. Rogers superior draftsmans skill is perfectly
matched to his sharp wit in this series of intimate panel paintings that reveal coping
strategies, or lack thereof, in the automated, indulgent contemporary world. The artist
postulates extreme life situations that manifest at intersections and dissonancesbetween behavior and virtual reality. In scenes of real and imagined disasters, including
floods, fires and unseen threats, Rogers suggests a breakdown in reality. This theme is
expressed most noticeably in the anxiety contained in his narratives, and more subtly in
the dissolution of the representational fabric of his pictures. We find a section of the
interior depicted in Facing Annihilation unexpectedly sanded down to reveal the bare
wood of its support; and a slice of the landscape background in Nailed, appears to peel
off, an illusion that underscores the artifice of the picture. As Rogers characterizes
contemporary states of mind, he also tests his mediums ability to convey the immediacy
of our experiences.
The Fancy of Babes is KATIE MILLERs first solo exhibition with the gallery. Relentlessly
pushing the realist technique toward hyper-realism, Miller creates artistic
characterizations of the consumer-driven hype that fuels the commercial sexualization of
children. The artist orders her toddler subjects according to hieratic compositions seen in
Renaissance masterpieces by Hans Holbein the Younger and Albrecht Drer, among
others, employing geometric principles from that period to instill her figures with the
authority of holy, royal or mythological beings. The anachronistic formats interact with
Millers exacting rendering of the childrens features and flesh, giving them an
otherworldly quality. The youngsters that confront us in these paintings appear
disarmingly knowing and self-possessed. This effect is amplified by their attributes, belly
button rings and bling-bling-binky pacifiers, inspired by Bratz Babyz dolls, and otherwidely marketed childrens products. Even the kids pets - a purse dog, a Cremello horse
and a hairless cat - appear to have been bred to exaggerated points of curvaceousness.
In her three largest panels, Miller poses the toddlers full -length figures in extremely
graceful positions that seem to defy anatomy and gravity. Their precarious beauty
figures the challenges of balancing childhood with forced adulthood in todays consumer
culture.
Conner Contemporary Art is also pleased to announce Plunder, a special *gogo
projects installation created by Lauren Adams for our courtyard. Adams work was
inspired by Elizabethan colonial era textiles, such as pirate flags and clothing depicted in
portraits of Queen Elizabeth I and the explorer Sir Walter Raleigh. Adams appropriates
decorative patterning from the time of sea based exploration to suggest a critique of
-

capitalisms colonial past. Pairing pirate flags with courtly dress, the artist asserts that
pirate culture arose not only from rogue sailors who plundered other ships for
transatlantic trade goods, but also from the colonizers who 'plundered' North American
native wealth.

1998, an unrealized project designed for the bank of the Potomac River in Washington DC. The
proposed monument has a perimeter of 70 x 50 meters and a height commensurate with the
Washington Monument. The white metal construction forms the contours of a traditional
American home with a mansard roof. From a distance this gigantic house appears like a white
mirage against the blue sky. Suspended from the ceiling inside the house are wire letters that
read: Since home we have but one, this earth we live upon. With our home in constantmotion we
are striving toward the stars.

TRADEis exchange; it means "commerse" and
"profession." The exhibition TRADEat the 39th
Street Gallery intends to be all of those things. It's
about working in the arts, placing the gallery and
the Gateway CDC at the center of all the things
galleries do: supporting artists, building
relationships, creating discourse, and yes, funding
the continuation of those efforts.
Based on the concept of an exchange portfolio and
curated by Phil Davis, Trade brings together eight
artists who each created a new edition of 12
artworks. Each artist will receive one work from
each of the other artists, thus becoming one
another's collectors and inevitably also one
another's promoters. The remaining four works in
each edition are available for sale - all at the same
price of $250.
It's a rare opportunity to collect work by established
artists at such an affordable level. Proceeds go
directly to the artists and also benefit the Gateway
CDC, which in turn supports arts programming in
the 39th Street Gallery as well as working to
developing the Gateway Arts District.

Join us as we debut our new art space and first
exhibition featuring paintings by Baltimore artist
Randi Reiss-McCormack in the solo space and an
installation by DC-based artist Matt Hollis in the
project space.
harmon art lab (HAL) is a creative collaboration that ties art curator, artist and viewer into
an interactive dialogue of ideas and engagement. HAL will exhibit the work of two risk-
taking artists per month working in a variety of media that will help to redefine
contemporary art in the DC area, one as a solo exhibition, the other as a site-specific
installation influenced by the space and the content of the artist's own work. This will offer
prospects for transformation as each artist creates something temporal and unique to the
space.
Along with the gallery, harmon art lab will publish a monthly online art paper inviting a
menagerie of guest writers to articulate refreshing and thoughtful perspectives about the
world of art as they see it. Unlike a traditional gallery website, the online art paper will also
include fascinating interviews with area artists, collectors, curators and critics, as well as
exhibition and installation images every month.
HAL will be open on Saturday and Sunday during the first week of exhibition, with events
such as artist talks, panel discussions and private functions throughout the month, and by
appointment after that.
harmon art lab is the creation of artists Peter e Harper and Thomas Drymon.
Randi Reiss-McCormack's work has been shown on both
coasts as well as in Europe. A prolific artist, an educator, a
wife and mother of three, her work involves themes of
domesticity mixed with patterns of pop culture and
impressionistic vibrancy resulting in a subtle social
commentary that embraces
the viewer, incites nostalgia,
and stirs thought.
Matt Hollis's work evokes a deep sense of nature,
transforming and enlarging it into an artificial realm that gives the viewer a new
perspective on how life interacts with itself.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (August 30, 2011) INDUSTRY will be launching its Fall 2011 design season with the first U.S.
solo exhibition of work by innovative British artist and designer, Tom Price. Specializing in modern furniture products,
sculpture and lighting design, process plays a key role in Prices work which has been bought by international museums,
galleries and private collectors. Much of Prices work is made using unconventional materials. In fact, he often finds it
necessary to invent new tools and techniques in order to get the required results from certain fabrications. But Price sees
this as an intrinsic part of the overall designand narrative.
"I like to think of myself as working in collaboration with materials, processes and phenomena and that the final physical
outcome is a product of mutual consent."
About Tom Price
A London native, Price attended several renowned schools including the
Royal College of Art. That background in Fine Art informs his approach todesign, which is typically very sculptural in both appearance and concept.
The vast majority of Tom Prices furniture and collections are anything but
conventional. Represented in collections around the world, recently two of
Prices pieces were acquired by the Museum of Modern Art in San
Francisco.
Meltdown Chair-PP Stripe

Included in this exhibition will be Prices coveted Meltdown Chairsa series of unique furniture pieces made by melting a
seat shape into a sculpted assembly of commonplace plastic products using a specially designed heated former. Original
to this exhibit is an homage to DC. When he visited last spring, Price fell in love with the areas iconic cherry trees.
Inspired by them, he has constructed a series of sweeping sculptures out of plastic tubing, referencing the shapes of the
trees and their blossoms. They will combine to create a unique immersive and site-specific installation, taking over an
entire room of the gallery.
Prices public commissions include a large-scale sculpture for a new square in the centre of Gloucester (UK) and a
sculptural installation for a restored Victorian grotto at the foot of the Royal Terrace Gardens, in Torquay (UK). As an
enduring tribute, Prices talent and techniques are referenced in many respected design books including Desire by
Elizabeth Honerla; Contemporary Furnitureby Martin Wellner and Andrea Mehlhose; New TalentsThe State of the Arts
by Hans Maier-Aichen and Second Lives: Remixing the Ordinary by the Museum of Arts and Design, New York.

About
INDUSTRY
21st Century Design Gallery
INDUSTRY is the premiere gallery in the US devoted to exhibiting the work of 21st Century design. Their focus is on
designers who create functional art from industrial materials. Offering single-artist exhibitions, INDUSTRY represents a
broad spectrum of international design trends through imaginative and limited edition works that blur the boundary
between art and design and redefine the relationship between designer and gallery.
INDUSTRY MISSION is to introduce and promote designers and their work to US collectors, curators and critics, to
stimulate the conversation about the role design can play in theirs lives, and to inform the viewer about the importance of
contemporary design in this time and place.
INDUSTRY DIRECTOR Craig Appelbaum has been a collector and private dealer. He opened INDUSTRY in 2010 to
exhibit individual artists work within the frame of an installation, allowing each artist to tell his or her own story throu gh
site-specific works designed to transform the perception of space.
"Many of the artists I show are producing pieces that are highly sought after by museums and collectors in the rapidly
expanding area of contemporary design. In the past decade the field has grown considerably as measured by the
increasing number of museum exhibitions, international art fairs such as Design Miami and S.O.F.A., and attention by
major international auctions houses including Christies, Phillips and Sothebys."
INDUSTRY MENTORING PROGRAM In addition to showcasing established artists the gallery also has developed an
initiative to introduce the work of emerging designers and design students, offering them the opportunity to exhibit in a
professional environment and affording them a realistic gallery experience. And while introducing new talent, at the same
time gallery visitors will have a rare opportunity to view the work of tomorrows designers showcasing innovative products
from a new generation.

Photography Show about Adams Morgan opens Adams
Morgan Day at .
The show spans four decades in the life of the Adams Morgan
Community. It is the work of photographer Nancy Shia, longtime Adams
Morgan resident and former ANC commissioner. It will run through the
month of September.
From the anti-gentrification demonstrations to the original Madams Organ
yippie house on 18th Street; to the Latino Festival Parades on Columbia Road and the
riots that came down Columbia Road, Shia's camera has been there.
Included in the photos are neighbors who used to live in Adams Morgan
and buildings you won't recognize because they've been renovated and
rebuilt. One specific address depicted is 1717 Columbia Road, NW,
presently the home of Christ House; it was redone in the 80s after
its previous use as a squatters' shelter in a vacant building. Adams
Morgan has a long history as an outspoken community with marches andprotests. Many of the images confirm this history.
The photographs will undoubtedly bring back memories. Potters House and
the photographer are planning discussion groups about the history of
the community throughout the month of September. All residents, past
and present, are invited to share stories about what it was like
living in Adams Morgan way back when.

Artist's Statement:
This show reflects my interest in light. Usually, my eye is
caught by something about the light in a scene. I just have to
capture it. You can see this interest in light in my sky photos,
my landscape scenes, and my flowers. The light emitted by or
shining on a subject gets my attention. So: "First Light."
Then I quickly take many photos, focusing on the special
challenge of creating the most artistic composition in the
moment. The digital revolution is what has made the next
essential step--artistic fine tuning--possible for me, the
amateur. At last I can manipulate the natural subject; I can
crop it and change the exposure to focus the observer's
attention. So: "Second Sight."
Much to my surprise--and that of others--my photos do
capture (and, on rare occasions, create) beauty to share with
everyone. This is very pleasing and rewarding for me.
About the Artist:
I started taking pictures not to create art but to create a visual
historical record of my life. Since young adulthood I havewanted to visually illustrate my life story, both personal and
professional, as it has intersected with the wonderful people
-
8/4/2019 bMichael Events This Week 9 September 2011
42/84
who have helped create it.
My history as a photographer began in earnest after I
graduated from Columbia and went to Oxford. I started taking
some photos there and during my European travels as a way
of creating a visual record. As I continued to travel around the
world--Europe, Israel, Nigeria, Kenya--as part of my academic
life, I continued to use Brownies and Polaroids to create a
personal historical record. When I had kids, I became
enthusiastic (from their perspective, overlyenthusiastic) about
chronicling their lives. Every activity prompted many photos.
Throughout my professional life as a university professor,
dean, higher education association executive, lawyer, civic
activist, and business owner, I have taken photographs to
chronicle events.
It has only been since Virginia and I married that I actually
became committed to the art of photography. She presented
such a wonderful subject. And we lived in exceptionally
beautiful settings, and we always had flowers. And we had
friends with wonderful young children who became my
spontaneous models. The art of photography became part of
my role as chronicler.
This show includes diverse samples of subjects and
settings. There are no children's photos because we decided
not to use photographs requiring individual releases. There
are none of my 12,000 photos of Virginia, because she is a
very private lady. With these exceptions, however, this show
contains a representative sample of my enthusiastic
endeavors to explore the art of photography.
About "The Evolution of Art":
The "Evolution of Art" series highlights the work of emerging local
artists in a unique exhibit space. This innovative series brings
together fine art and fresh-roasted coffee in an intimate and
comfortable setting.

Join us to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Peace Corps
and the 20th anniversary of Korea's volunteer agency,
KOICA, with a photo exhibition organized by Friends of
Korea that chronicles the Peace Corps volunteer experience
in the Republic of Korea (1966-1981) and highlights the work
of KOICA around the world. The opening reception will
include remarks from dignitaries representing Friends of
Korea, Peace Corps, Embassy of the Republic of Korea,
KOICA, and the National Peace Corps Association.
In 1966, the United States Peace Corps, dedicated to
volunteerism and cross cultural understanding abroad,
began work in the Republic of Korea as the country was stillemerging from the ashes of the Korean War. In 1991, as
Korea continued its successful economic development and
democratization, it established the Korea International
Cooperation Agency, KOICA, to give back what its people
had received by reaching throughout the world to help those
in need.
Friends of Korea is a non-profit organization made up of
returned Peace Corps volunteers from Korea, former Peace
Corps/Korea staff, and others. It is dedicated to manifesting
the third goal of the Peace Corps: helping Americans

Nadine Strossen, Professor of Law, New York Law School, and former President, American Civil Liberties Union
Hosted by Edwin Meese, III Ronald Reagan Distinguished Fellow in Public Policy and Chairman of the Center for
Legal and Judicial Studies
The 10th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks is an appropriate time for reflection, both as to
what the nation endured as a result of the attacks as well as whether the response has been appropriate. In
addition to providing their reflections on the 9/11 tragedy and its aftermath, distinguished legal scholars John Yoo,
Nadine Strossen, and Ed Meese will discuss their own and others contributions to Confronting Terror, a uniquecollection of essays from principled supporters and critics of the law and policy of the war on terrorism.
Edited by Dean Reuter and John Yoo, Confronting Terrorsets the stage for a reasoned and robust discussion of the
future with a collection of provocative essays examining the meaning of 9/11. Other authors include former
Attorneys General John Ashcroft and Michael Mukasey, federal Circuit Judges Laurence Silberman and Raymond
Randolph, Richard Epstein, Alan Dershowitz, Johnathan Turley, and Bob Barr. The contributors present stark
differences of opinion on issues such as the Presidents authority to detain, the assertion of state secrets, the limits
of surveillance, the use of unmanned drones and targeted killing, the treatment and interrogation of detainees, the
Patriot Act, and the peculiar nature of our foe. More surprising, perhaps, are the areas of agreement, particularly
the fact that the policies of two very different Presidents are remarkably the same. In presenting these contrasting
views, the editors and contributors hope to clarify the debate, both for our society and for those responsible forwaging the war.

Kicking off the series is an event centered on questions about copyright and authorship. What does "copyright"
mean in todays context? Is it an outdated legal construct thatcannot adequately deal with the internet as a play of
free floating artistic content? Does it still make sense to link a work exclusively to its producer and an original idea
when web content is constantly changing.

Leonard Freed (1929-2006) devoted his career as a Magnum photographer to making sense of a complex world. For over fiftyyears, Germany offered the American-born Freed a frequent point of departure. This exhibition draws from Freeds selection
of images from his immense archive, as well as unpublished diary-style annotations accompanying many of his photographs.
An American in Deutschland explores postwar German society from Freeds unique historical vantage point.
In conjunction with the exhibition at the GHI, two other institutions will also exhibit prints by Leonard Freed: the Washington DCJewish Community Center's Ann Loeb Bronfman Gallery (Sept. 15Nov. 15) and the Goethe-Institut (Sept. 28Oct. 28).
