PAST: Exhibit: See the 3-D Digital Cave at the Sackler - Part of the "Echoes of the Past" exhibit - On view through SUN, July 31st, Free

On view at the Sackler Gallery
"Echoes of the Past: The Buddhist Cave Temples of Xiangtangshan" featuring a 3-D Digital Cave, reconstructing the ancient cave temple using modern technology
February 26th – Sunday, July 31st
Free

High-tech meets ancient-relics exhibit "Echoes of the Past: The Buddhist Cave Temples of Xiangtangshan" now on view at the Sackler. This unique exhibit combines modern technology - including a video on a 3 panel screen that uses 3-D imaging technology to recreate a Buddhist devotional cave - to explore majestic sixth-century Chinese Buddhist sculpture from the Northern Qi dynasty (550-77 CE).

I was at the media preview for this exhibit and was really quite impressed. Be sure that you sit through the full 8 minute video loop to see the cool yellow screen with the imaging lines (which reminded me of an Alex Grey painting, really neat). They have great relics on view along with the digital cave and there are touch screen computers throughout the exhibit so you can learn more about the works on view. Truly a unique exhibit merging old and new, definitely recommend checking it out.

New Photography Exhibition at the National Gallery of Art
Free
Sunday, March 20th - Sunday, July 31st

"From 1967 to 1973, photographer Lewis Baltz (b. 1945) made a series of photographs that examines the postwar industrial landscape of California. Titled Prototypes, these photographs focus on the sharp contrasts between the standardized architectural forms that proliferated in the suburban environment and the complex culture they represent. Baltz transforms such banal subjects as stucco walls and parking lots into exquisite black-and-white-prints that simultaneously express brilliance and austerity." continue reading here.

West Side Story




Running through the end of July, the Capital Riverfront is also running a film festival this summer. Their theme is “Best of the Oscars,” featuring a different Oscar winning movie every week. These are great classic movies, and should be great on an outdoor screen. There will be food trucks, popcorn, cotton candy, and Micha’s Sorbet. Don't forget to bring your own blanket or chair for the outdoor screenings.
