It’s the opening reception for Juan Tejedor's "Standing Atop the Ladder" at Flashpoint Gallery, located across from the Gallery Place metro at 916 G St, NW from 6-8pm. In this show- his first solo exhibition in DC -Tejador presents a variety of media including sculpture and works on paper, and examines various natural and man-made systems- including public transit routes, star systems, and bird migratory patterns- to investigate the very nature of structure and organization. The show will be on view through March 26.
It’s the opening day of the new high-tech meets ancient-relics exhibit “Echoes of the Past: The Buddhist Cave Temples of Xiangtangshan” on view through July 31 at the Sackler Gallery, 1050 Independence Avenue, SW. This unique exhibit combines modern technology - including touch screens and a 3-D video recreation of a Buddhist devotional cave temple - to explore majestic 6th-century Chinese Buddhist sculpture from the Northern Qi dynasty (550-77 CE).
