Walk through the Grand Lobby, and two16-foot columns will flank you. Thesecolumns are etched through with foreignlanguage text recalling historic gather-ings — or conventions — of people from1400 BC until the 19th century. The textis inscribed onto the bronze in eight different languages — French, Ethiopian,Greek, Latin, Spanish, Chinese, Russianand Ononandaga. Appropriately,Sanborn calls his piece Lingua, which inLatin, means “spoken word.” A nativeof Washington, DC, Sanborn influencesinclude the physical sciences, archeology,mythology and unseen forces of nature.

Welcome to the home of the largest public
art collection in Washington, DC. Throughout
our facility, you will find more than 120 works
of art — sculpture, painting, photography,
mixed media and graphics. It may surprise you
to find an art collection in a convention
center. Then again, we wanted to offer our
guests a truly special experience. So please
take time to look around, admire and enjoy
the show.
It is the one show at the Washington Convention Center
that never ends.
1
The new Washington Convention Center has
everything you could ask for — huge exhibit halls,
plenty of meeting rooms, a spacious ballroom,
inviting architecture and every technological
advance imaginable. But we wanted to offer our
guests more, something that was uniquely
personal, and we found our solution in art. I
Who better to help develop a collection than the
directors and curators from the National Gallery
of Art, Smithsonian American Art Museum,
Corcoran Gallery of Art, Federal Commission of
Fine Arts and DC Commission on the Arts and
Humanities. I While everyone acknowledged
that the Center was not a museum, we still felt
art would bring more humanity to the facility.
And it has. Artists were selected from all over
the globe. Yet to honor our local art community,
we are proud that more than 50% of the artists
came from the Washington area.

Every work of art holds a special value to us. One show-
piece is the dynamic Shaw Wall, which honors and
celebrates the Shaw community, the neighborhood that
is home to the Center. The 72-foot long wall
comprises four different pieces and features five artists
from the community. I From the 1890s to the 1950s,
the Shaw neighborhood was the heart of Washington’s
African American community. The Shaw Wall celebrates
the neighborhood’s rich history. I Creating the Wall
was a collaborative process, with members of the
Washington Convention Center Authority Advisory
Committee and the Ad Hoc Shaw Wall Community Art
Program Committee selecting the artists and regaling
them with colorful stories about their neighborhood.
These tales were instrumental in creating the works. One
of the pieces created by the team of Frank Smith and
Arnetta Lee highlights the notable individuals, landmarks
and organizations that have been a part of the community’s
history. The Shaw Wall is located on Level Two near the
L Street Bridge.

Parabiosis II, 2003, Street Level
Buster received her MFA at Yale University after completing the Whitney
Museum’s Independent Study Program. Currently, this native Washingtonian
is a Professor at the Virginia Commonwealth University. When she’s not
teaching, she’s creating. Her award-winning works have been exhibited
throughout the country as well as Spain, South Africa, Germany and Peru.
Her commissioned piece for the Center is a suspended sculpture that hangs
from the underside of the main escalator. It is constructed of a lightweight
powder-coated, enameled steel frame and covered with a shadecloth “skin.”
The piece resembles a floating city created out of interlocking buildings with
visible interiors.

Many Things, 2003, Street Level
Gilliam is one of the most influential colorists of the last thirty years. Major
museums all over the world hold works of this Tupelo, Mississippi native. And
we’re lucky enough to be among that esteemed group. Acrylic on birch,
Many Things is a constructed relief painting evoking a celestial yet earthly
landscape. The individual interplay of shapes, through layering and spaces,
work to develop the complex relationships with the whole.

Five Easy Pieces, 2003, Concourse Level, Street Level, Level Two
You’re sure not to miss Lipski’s hanging sculpture in the Center. Five Easy
Pieces is a collection of giant, geometric shapes made from everyday objects
like tennis rackets, kayaks, guitars, bar stools and bicycles — a nod to Lipski’s
fond childhood memories with his father who was in the bicycle business. As
you approach the suspended sculpture from a distance, the individual objects
reveal themselves. You can also find Lipski’s world-renowned sculptures in
national and international museums. His work has been written about exten-
sively and celebrates the common object. He lives in Sag Harbor, New York.

Capital Stars, 2003, Concourse Level, Street Level, Level Two
Worldly describes Kirkland. Currently residing in Washington, DC, he has
lived in California, Japan, Rhode Island, Virginia, and Oregon. His sculptures
have generated worldwide acclaim and carved out a special niche for him in
large site-specific installations. Capital Stars will no doubt continue to
enhance that reputation. This magnificent suspended sculpture combines
history, geography and politics. By placing Washington, DC in the center of
the piece, Kirkland reinforces the dichotomy that while the nation’s Capital is
our political epicenter, it stands alone, without a state.

Wall Drawing #1103, 2003, Street Level, Level Two
Located on the L Street Bridge, this multi-hued, two-level drawing embraces
the geometric abstract that defined much of LeWitt’s impressive career.
Famous for architectural scale works, LeWitt created this piece with a respect
for the Center’s environment. LeWitt’s New York artists led a team of 10
Washington painters who brought this dynamic painting to life: Stevens Jay
Carter, Larry V. Colbert, Megan Dyer, Elizabeth Flyntz, John Hogan, Thomas
Jennings, Melissa Levin, Luis Peralta, Tomas Ramberg, Jon Routson, Jason
Rulnick, Michelle Talibah, Chris Dale Taylor and Joanne Wasserman. 14

Galaxy, 2003, Concourse Level
A trained architect and sculptor, Varotsos spent many years in Italy working
in the Lamorgia mountains on a V-shaped crater left from a WWII shelling.
He stacked the crater with plate glass, so it would resemble a pond. A native
of Greece, who currently lives in Athens, Varotsos often uses glass to represent
water. However, in Galaxy, the work he created for the Center, the stones
and glass symbolize a loose interpretation of the Big Bang theory.
