Art Whino returns in 2011 for the second edition of G40. The first G40 art summit in 2010
compounded artistically explosive cultures from all over the world and brought them to the DC
metro area. By bringing all of these cultures from throughout the world to one place it allowed
the visitor to be fully immersed in over 2000 works by 500 artists organized by floors
corresponding to their cultural hubs.

This year G40 explores not cultures but the genres which are on the forefront of creative
transitions and growing in large scale with hundreds of thousands of fans throughout the
world. Some of these genres include Customized collectibles, Skateboard Art, Stencil, Wheat
Paste and 3D Installations.

The G40 Art Summit is a unprecedented experience in the art world with its scale and caliber
of artists from around the world. This year the summit comes to the city next to the U street
corridor taking over an entire 25,000 sqft building and showcasing art on all of it 4 floors.
From over twenty artists showcasing 16’ Murals to traditionally displayed artwork the summit
will definitely have sensory overload requiring multiple trips to take in all the treats for the
eyes.

vitaminwater®
vitaminwater® uncapped LIVE is a lil’ bit of local
color on the canvas of life – a destination that promotes
the creativity and active lifestyles that d.c. embodies so
well, while supporting the passions that resonate within
our city. the venue’s upcoming schedule includes the
likes of local d.c. musicians, artists, designers, athletes
and action sports enthusiasts who will all come
together to share their talents and experiences in this fully functional space throughout the
months of May and June.

Custom Vinyl Show

D.I.Y. (Do It Yourself) Vinyls are the blank canvas of

collectible toys. Starting as a lifeless shape, artists conjure
up characters with their creative tools, transforming these
figures into unique toys bearing the mark of their creator.
While most shows that feature these artists’ D.I.Y.s show
several artists’ versions of the same given blank toy, this
customized vinyl show will turn the tables by highlighting
the work of this medium’s leading artists with various toys.
G40 will team up with Vinyl Artist, Sket-One to show the
countless possibilities explored by these artists; from
simply painting the figures such as KidRobot’s Munny, to
morphing the collectibles beyond their vinyl beginnings.

Skateboard Art Show

Skateboards have long been the means of
expression for the skateboarding community.
With close ties to the beginnings of the new
brow art scene in California, the artistry seen
on skatedecks as far back as the 1970s
strongly influenced members of this
movement. For this reason we pay respect
to this community by exploring the many
possibilities of the skatedeck as work of art.
Used in various media, from illustration to
three-dimensional sculpture, the board is the
connecting theme and protagonist
throughout these pieces.
 Wheatpaste Show
Wheat paste is an adhesive made of
vegetable starch and water that has been
used for centuries as a means of adhering
paper to a surface. The unique quality of this
paste is its ability to stick while still allowing
for peeling off without ripping. Historically,
the adhesive was used by activists and
various subculture proponents for flypost
propaganda and for advertisement posters.
In the Street Art culture this paste is used as
a means of adhering works, previously
created on paper, to a city wall. For this
reason, this art form is known as
“wheatpasting”. We will exhibit the work of
artists pushing the envelope in this evolving
art form.

Stencil Show
Stencil art has long been used by street
artists as the weapon of choice for
expressing themselves on the endless
canvas of the urban fabric. Because of the
need for quickness in public spaces, stencils
began as simple cut outs and only involved
one or few layers of stencils. With the spread
of the new brow art movement stencils have
evolved to become an involved process with
sometimes as many as 350 layers. This
group show will highlight the freshest
methods and techniques as well as the ever
growing subject matter portrayed by these
artists

Mural Show
Scale has the power to alter perception.
Larger than life scale creates a feeling of
surrealism, as the viewer becomes aware
that what the eye is seeing is unreal. This
mural show will challenge a group of artists
to create an 8’ x 16’ work of art. These
pieces will allow the one to step into the

artist’s creation through their colossal scale

and create an environment that is other
worldly for the viewer.

John L. Sullivan Themed Show

John L. Sullivan, also known as the Boston
Strong Boy is last heavyweight champion of
bare-knuckle boxing back in the 1800's. He
was the first American sports hero to
become a national celebrity and the first
American athlete to earn over one million
dollars. With over 450 fights under his belt
 he is the stuff of legends. We bring back this legend 130 years later with the first group
art show honoring this American icon. With over 40 artist interpretations of this figure,
the representations of the lost art form of good ole bare-knuckle fighting will be diverse
and always legendary.

microWave Project

of artists that will transform this DC office
building into art itself through incredible site
specific installations. These artists use the
space as their canvas, and transform it into
an environment that takes the viewers’ art
experience to whole new level.

Accenture Development Partnerships and Accenture Sustainability Services

Convergence Economy: Rethinking International Development in a Converging World

Wednesday, June 1, 5:00-7:00 p.m.

The Hilton Washington Embassy Row

2015 Massachusetts Avenue NW

RSVP: devpartnershipsinfo@accenture.com

Accenture Development Partnerships and Accenture Sustainability Services would like to invite you to an
interactive panel discussion to celebrate the launch of their new and innovative report entitled,
"Convergence Economy: Rethinking International Development in a Converging World."

The report proposes that some of the world's most intractable problems, including childhood malnutrition,
climate change, and the lack of access to clean water, cannot be solved solely by the traditional aid-based
approach. Instead, overcoming these challenges requires a greater degree of convergence among
businesses, NGOs, and governments to align the power of market forces with development outcomes that
create mutual and sustainable value for all constituents.

In essence, these groups must replace short-term, event-driven cooperation with an on-going, shared
commitment to mutual benefit and the creation of "systems solutions." Put simply, Accenture is seeing
a cross-sector convergence of solutions to development problems--an approach that puts the needs of
those most affected squarely at the heart of the matter.

Panelists:

Gib Bulloch, Executive Director, Accenture Development Partnerships

Elizabeth Gore, Executive Director, Global Partnerships, United Nations Foundation

Carolyn Miles, Executive Vice President/Chief Operating Officer, Save the Children

Perry Yeoman, Senior Vice President, Corporate Affairs, President, Kraft Foods Foundation

Accenture Development Partnerships is a group within Accenture designed to operate on a not for profit
basis to channel Accenture's strategic business, technology and project management expertise to non-
profit organizations, NGOs, foundation and donor organizations operating in the development sector-
helping these organizations achieve their social and economic development goals. ADP started as a
corporate social enterprise in 2003 and to date has completed over 400 projects for 74 non-profit clients,
working across 58 developing countries, and deploying more than 1,000 Accenture employees.

This lecture takes the history of monoculture at end of the nineteenth century as a jumping off point to explore
the history of international security and its relationship to agriculture in the period between 1918 and 1945.
Based on archival research in the archives of the League of Nations, the International Labour Organization as
well as governmental and private papers, the lecture demonstrates the connections between ideas about food
production in central and eastern Europe and Asia, and concludes with a consideration of the continuities and
discontinuities between the inter-war period and the years after 1945.

About:

Dr Patricia Clavin is a Fellow and Tutor in Modern History at Jesus College Oxford and a member of the History
Faculty of Oxford University. Her current book, Bread and Butter Internationalism: The World Economy and the
League of Nations, 1919-1946, focuses on the work of the Economic and Financial Section of the League of Nations
and will be published by Oxford University Press. Her new project, with Dr Sunil Amrith (Birkbeck, London), uses
the history of international organizations as a means to explore the connections between war and peace, and the
history of development in the Twentieth Century. She has written books on the history of the Great Depression in
Europe, the history of international economic diplomacy between the two world wars, and, with Asa Briggs, the
history of Europe from 1789 to the present.

The Pleasures of Reading in an Age of Distraction

A Lunch Discussion with Alan Jacobs
Friday, June 3, 12:30-1:30 p.m.
Hudson Institute
1015 15th Street NW
Sixth Floor
Washington, DC 20005
This event is free and open to the public, and will include lunch. Doors will open at 12:15 p.m. Registration is
required. RSVP: aschulman@thenewatlantis.com.

In recent years, cultural commentators have sounded the alarm about the dire
state of reading in America. Americans are not reading enough, they say, or
reading the right books, in the right way.

In this lunchtime lecture, New Atlantis contributing editor Alan Jacobs will discuss
his new book The Pleasures of Reading in an Age of Distraction. Jacobs argues
that, contrary to the doomsayers, reading is alive and well in America. His
interactions with his students and the readers of his own books, however, suggest
that many readers lack confidence; they wonder whether they are reading well,
with proper focus and attentiveness, with due discretion and discernment. Many
have absorbed the puritanical message that reading is, first and foremost, good for
you—the intellectual equivalent of eating your Brussels sprouts.

For such people, indeed for all readers, Jacobs offers some simple, powerful, and
much needed advice: read at whim, read what gives you delight, and do so without
shame, whether it be Stephen King or the King James Version of the Bible. Jacobs
offers an insightful, accessible, and playfully irreverent guide for aspiring readers.
Each chapter focuses on one aspect of approaching literary fiction, poetry, or
nonfiction, and the book explores everything from the invention of silent reading,
reading responsively, rereading, and reading on electronic devices.

Alan Jacobs is a professor of English at Wheaton College in Illinois, and is the author of the Text Patterns blog. His books
include The Narnian: The Life and Imagination of C. S. Lewis, Original Sin: A Cultural History, and A Theology of Reading:
The Hermeneutics of Love. He frequently writes for First Things, Books & Culture, and other magazines and journals.

First Friday Openings are a collaborative effort to strengthen arts and culture in the

month galleries in our community open their doors to multitudes of art enthusiasts from
all walks of life for simultaneous openings. We encourage all to join us for our openings
and to circulate between our neighboring galleries, which host an ever-changing array of
styles and media.

Hillyer Art Space June Exhibitions

Rebecca Clark: Bee Lines

June 3rd 2011 - June 24th 2011

Rebecca Clark draws inspiration from the natural world of her backyard. By observing the
insects, animals, and plant life of her tiny ecosystem, she engages with the timeless
rhythms and patterns of the earth. Her careful examination of nature reminds us of our
own unique place within it. Her drawings are highly detailed, resulting in a scientific
intricacy which respects both the beauty and complexity of the universe we all share.

Lynn Putney: Wishing Well

June 3rd 2011 - June 24th 2011

Lynn Putney's paintings are a response to living, another way to take in and
explore the experience of existence. Painting allows her to sort, sift and distill
her own thoughts and feelings without preliminary sketches or pre-conceived
notions of a final image. The act of painting is thus her means of thinking out
loud, mapping a progression of thoughts redefined as images. Putney's work
resonates with viewers in a non-prescriptive way, providing a springboard for their
subjective reactions to it.

Members' Show

June 3rd 2011 - June 24th 2011

This months Members' Show is curated by DC artist Cianne Fragione and features

 Genevieve Kenney, senior fellow, Health Policy Center, Urban Institute
 Stacey McMorrow, research associate, Health Policy Center, Urban Institute

From multiple directions, senior researchers from the Urban Institute’s Health Policy Center diagnose the
state of children’s health coverage and preview what lies ahead for the youngest generation:

 How well did Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program meet children’s coverage needs
during the recent recession

 What might happen to children’s coverage under the Affordable Care Act? Under a Medicaid block
grant or legislation allowing states to reduce Medicaid and CHIP eligibility?

 Why do coverage programs for kids fall short of their enrollment goals? How can federal and state
policymakers boost signup and retention?

 Despite new opportunities under ACA to obtain insurance, many families will face daunting hurdles
because of complex household circumstances -- such as variation within families over who is
eligible for public programs -- and other factors. Are there ways to lower these barriers?

 Do quality health care services begin at home -- a medical home or accountable care organization,
that is?

Reception To Follow

The Cato Institute

1000 Massachusetts Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20001

Featuring Jason Sorens, University of Buffalo (SUNY); and William Ruger, Texas State University–San
Marcos; with comments by Michael Barone, Washington Examiner and The Almanac of American Politics;
moderated by John Samples, Cato Institute.

In the new edition of their study "Freedom in the 50 States: An Index of Personal and Economic Freedom,"
published by the Mercatus Center at George Mason University, political scientists Jason Sorens and William
Ruger comprehensively rank the American states on their public policies that affect individual freedoms in the
economic, social, and personal spheres. Two intriguing findings of the statistical analysis are that Americans are
voting with their feet and moving to states with more economic and personal freedom and that economic
freedom correlates with economic growth.

Cato events, unless otherwise noted, are free of charge. To register for this event, please email
events@cato.org or call (202) 789-5229 by noon, Tuesday, June 7, 2011. Please arrive early. Seating is

In recent years, teachers unions have been at the center of debates about school reform. Critics regard the unions'
concerns about evaluation, tenure, and pay reform as huge roadblocks to school improvement. Supporters argue that
unions provide classroom professionals with an essential voice. Into this debate wades Stanford University professor
Terry Moe with his new treatise, Special Interest: Teachers Unions and America's Public Schools, in which he marshals
evidence on elections, campaign contributions, and education governance to argue that unions have an exaggerated and
detrimental impact on American schooling. Responding to Moe will be Deborah Meier, a champion of teachers unions and
the founder of New York City's Central Park East schools, and Heather Harding, vice president for research at Teach for
America. Please join us for a hard-hitting discussion of this controversial issue.

In spite of the complex challenges associated with building legitimate governments in post-conflict and fragile states,
health systems development has experienced some important successes over the last decade. Nevertheless, questions
still arise as to how the larger donor community perceives such health systems in unstable states. Do post-conflict/fragile
states health systems figure into international health priorities and policies, peacebuilding and stabilization operations, and
human rights and governance?

The conference will review lessons learned, address key questions about the important intersection of sustainable health
systems, national security policy, and development policy, as well as consider the way forward.

Evan Reed: Traveling Past PROUN

(June 10-July 15)

Opening Reception

Friday June 10, 6:30-9:00 p.m.

Project 4 Gallery

1353 U Street NW, 3rd floor

Washington, DC 20009
(202) 232-4340

The show Evan Reed: Traveling Past PROUN at Project 4 Gallery is a solo show featuring
the work by artist, Evan Reed. Through wood sculpture and other media, Reed
investigates the expressive potential attained by transforming familiar everyday objects
into new forms. His work is informed by architectonic structures and driven by his
penchant for the fantastical and visionary. The title of the exhibition is a nod to the
Russian Constructivist El Lissitzky whose drawings titled Proun (pro-oon, meaning
"project for the affirmation of the new") are two-dimensional works that transitioned the
artist into sculpture and architecture. Reed’s work does not carry the revolutionary
rhetoric of the Constructivist movement; rather their core formal ideas serve as the
historical great-grandparents for this body of work. Reed moves beyond the constraints
of Proun by using his imaginative structural drawings as the springboard to large
architecturally based sculpture.

Reed allows the creative impulse to originate from a variety of sources. The foray into
more architectonic forms began with visits to Dubai, London and Mayan ruins in the
Yucatan. In the sculpture Burj al-Shawq (Tower of Desire), Reed explores the dichotomy
between an old and new Middle East by combining the imagery of the Malwiya Tower at
the site of the Great Mosque of Samara in Iraq with his direct experience in Dubai during
the fevered construction boom. Not all of the work is tied to biographical events. As the
group of sculptures develop, more of his interest in purely fantastic architecture has
begun to dominate. The specifics of a location or context are less important so that his
work is not confined to limiting interpretations. The viewer encounters familiar
representational forms in an unfamiliar presentation while experiencing Reed’s art. He
plays with their sense of space, perspective, place, and time. Without strong references to
the past or future the viewer is forced to exist purely in the present with the art.

Civilian Art Projects is pleased to present two solo exhibitions: "The

Kids Are Alright" by New Orleans-based Dan Tague and "New Loops"
by Washington, DC-based artist Billy Friebele.

Opening Reception
Friday, June 10, 7:00-9:00 p.m.

Civilian Art Projects

June 10 - July 23, 2011

The Kids are

Alright
Dan Tague

New Orleanian Dan Tague is an artist and social justice advocate.

Using a variety of media, techniques, and wordplay, Tague's work
points to inadequacies in government policy toward education,
environmental health, and financial reform. He incorporates dollar
bills, screen prints, paintings, video, restored furniture, and
propaganda poster art to create visual riddles and biting -- yet funny,
and sometimes sad -- social commentary.

Installing artwork in a layout reminiscent of a classroom, Tague

presents discrete works and editions including posters of U.S.
Presidents distilled to facial hair; a Mobil oil sign screen-printed using
oil from the Deep Water Horizon oil spill; deconstructed movie
posters including the word "American"; and folded dollar bill pieces,
some folded 100 times to create statements like "The Kids are
Alright" (specially made for his show at Civilian) and "Lest we forget."

Two of the works exhibited are made from school furniture discarded
from a destroyed New Orleans public school. Tague discovered the
chalkboard and school desk in the street, restored and re-purposed
them as art, and is driving them to D.C., where they will be on
display for over a month. Drawing a tank in chalk on the board, he
sealed the drawing so that it could never be erased. For the school
desk, he carved the buzzwords "care forgot" into the desktop and
fashioned a shark's head from bubble gum on the underside.

His work employs the tools of activism, with an artist's wit.

Propaganda posters and flags are altered with subtle twists on
popular, reactionary slogans. For example, a familiar snake flag with
the slogan "Don't Tread On Me" is transformed into a skeletal snake
with the text "Don't Trespass Against Us." Flipping imagery and
transforming rallying cries into religious rhetoric, much of his work
comes from his survivalist experience in New Orleans through several
disasters. Post-hurricane, his home, like many other Americans', was
destroyed; all belongings lost. Since this time, he has witnessed
environmental justice and education reform take a back seat to
corporate greed, frenzied consumerism, and apathy. His work is a
challenge to both lawmakers and voters to do better.

Dan Tague lives and works in New Orleans. This is his first exhibition
in D.C. He received an MFA in Studio Arts from the University of New
Orleans in 2000. His work has been used in conjunction with The
Spirit Initiative, The Clinton Bush Fund for Haiti, Help USA, and Teach
for America. Tague is represented by Jonathan Ferrara gallery in New
Orleans and will be included in Prospect.2.New Orleans, a new U.S.
Biennial for internationally recognized artists curated by Dan
Cameron. His work is in the collections of the Whitney Museum of Art
and the Weisman Foundation.
 New Loops
Billy Friebele

For his first solo exhibition at Civilian, Billy Friebele will present three
interrelated video projects; "Walking as Drawing," "Target Loop," and
"Commute Loop" in the project space and The Entrance.

Exploring the spatial experience of contemporary culture, Friebele's

works re-contextualize common notions of everyday public spaces
and mundane routines. For "Commute Loop," the artist videotaped
his lengthy daily commute to and from work for one year. Sections of
the trek are sequenced into a time-lapse, looped, and mirrored on
the wall, creating an endless journey of an all too familiar landscape.
For "Target Loop," he attached a video camera and GPS unit to a
shopping cart and traversed the aisles looking for a birthday present.
For "Walking as Drawing," an on-going project the artist creates in
varying locations, he invites participants to take a dérive walk within
a contained space, and tracks their movements. He then color-codes
and animates their paths to make a time-based collaborative
drawing.

According to the artist, "We often pass through mundane spaces

without noticing our surroundings. We are drawn here and there by
commerce: commuting to work, walking to the corner store,
shopping for clothes and food. We pay little attention to the spaces
we are channeled through, yet all spaces have embedded ideologies.
Shopping at big box stores mirrors the mindless ambulatory
experience of browsing the Internet. Cities have gridded structures
that serve to maximize space and capital, keeping our movements
locked into right angles."

He continues: "Tracking this motion reveals the patterns impressed

upon us as we enact our daily lives. Thinking of driving and walking
as physical acts of drawing allows me to understand more concretely
how our bodies are controlled by the spaces we inhabit."

Friebele was awarded the Young Artist Program Grant from the
District of Columbia Commission on the Arts in Humanities in 2009,
and, with collaborator Mike Iacovone, the Creative Capital Grant in
2010. He has exhibited at the Baltimore Museum of Art as well as in
New York, New Jersey, Colorado, St. Louis, Detroit, Sarajevo, and
Washington, DC among other places. He has also participated in
many public art projects such as "Driving Without Destination" at
Seton Hall University; the Conflux Festival in New York; and
collaborations with Mike Iacovone, including "Free Space" at the
 Martin Luther King Library and "Construct: Space Transformed." He
is currently teaching new media at St. Mary's College of Maryland.

talents from all walks of life, representing over 25 countries and
ranging from emerging, to mid-career, to master artists. Over
these past two decades I have been amazed at the consistent
quality level demonstrated by the artists. My reference to quality is
that the subject matter may not be to one's liking, but the art works
can truly be called fine art. The diversity of the artists shown over
the years has one thing in common.....Quality." Norman Parish

The Washington D.C. area has become international renowned as an emerging center of
glass art. At the forefront of this charge is the Washington Glass School, where, for the
past ten years, the instructors, artists and student have brought narrative and content into
glass, dragging it away from decorative craft and into the rarified atmosphere of ―fine art.‖
The Washington Glass School has produced artists whose art can be found in museums
and collections worldwide and is advancing the studio glass movement with its
explorations of narrative content, technology and skills.
Washington’s Long View Gallery presents ―Artists of The Washington Glass School – The
First Ten Years‖ showcasing ten years of integrating glass into the contemporary art
dialogue. While it recognizes the past and present, The First Ten Years is intended to
instigate – and celebrate – the new directions contemporary glass is exploring through
various artistic metaphors. Featured artists include: Tim Tate, Michael Janis, Erwin
Timmers, Elizabeth Mears, Robert Kincheloe, Syl Mathis, Lea Topping, Allison Sigethy,
Dave D’Orio, Kirk Waldroff, Robert Wiener and others.
