After bankruptcy claimed the Borders bookstore at 1801 K Street NW, many wondered who would take up the space. Well, the storefront at least has a temporary replacement -- this year's FotoWeekDC photography festival, which will occupy the space for a week, beginning November 4. more ›

Tomorrow, beginning at 5:04 a.m. eastern standard time, the tilt of the Earth's axis will be situation neither away from nor towards the Sun, marking the autumn equinox and the beginning of fall.

Mother Nature may have decided that in lieu of a nice, gradual transition from winter to summer by way of spring that she's going to just plunge us straight into the hot and humid fires of hell, but that shouldn't stop you from checking out these upcoming art events, sweat stains and frizzy hair be damned. more ›

This year's G40 Art Summit, curated by Art Whino at the inauspiciously named but thank-you-corporate-benefactor vitaminwater® uncapped LIVE, is so chock full of art that even the most jaded gallery goer is sure to find something they like. With hundreds of artists and thousands of art works, G40 has plenty to say. Some of it you've heard before. But much of it is said in enchanting and provocative ways -- not to mention subversive: consumerism is on display wherever you go, but, despite those corporate sponsors, not always with a ringing endorsement. more ›

Congratulations to the trio -- Guzy, Kahn and Carioti truly produced some incredibly relentless, moving work. more ›

Read more about it -- and all the art happenings around the D.C. region -- inside this week's Arts Agenda. more ›

Is there such thing as a boring photo? Martin Parr's series of Boring Postcards books, which collected photographs of banal architecture, evaded the question with a camp factor that distracts the reader from the ennui of yet another hotel room or highway rest stop. But as an aesthetic, the brutal and often Brutalist tedium of such images owes more than a little to minimalism – and to photographer Lewis Baltz. more ›

At the east end of the Georgetown Waterfront, just under the Whitehurst Freeway, lies The House of Sweden. This spacious and light-bathed venue houses the Embassies of Sweden and Iceland, and often hosts a number of elegant events and exhibits. Its lawn, facing the Potomac River, is a beacon for picnickers and anyone looking for a comforting greenspace in busy Georgetown. Such a near-idyllic location makes Charlotte Gyllenhammar's claustrophobic, unsettling Hang, currently on display in the lower-level Alfred Nobel Hall, all the more striking. more ›
