And a Mercedes.

>> Andrew Wodzianski wins bonus cool points for combining visuals inspired by Mexican luchadores and an interactive blog, the use of cell phones and a podcast (or Wodcast) in his new show Lucha Libre! at the Fraser Gallery. His “Lucha Libre! 2” is pictured here.

>> Observant District residents will have noticed the slew of retro-fitted Port-a-Potties that popped up outside of city art galleries over the weekend. Rather than being evidence of a rare, simultaneous plumbing catastrophe, these are actually serving as sound booths designed to host the public project Found Sound, featuring audio and other pieces from the likes of Brandon Morse, Jennie C. Jones, and Harry Shearer, among others. DCist loves the idea of bringing art to the streets, although as DC Art News and Grammar.police point out, it seems one local artist, at least for a moment, didn’t agree.

>> Transformer hosts an opening reception Saturday from 7 to 9 p.m. for Past/Perfect, Pat Graham and Melanie Standage’s Polaroid-inspired photography exhibit, with an artist talk to follow on Sunday.

>> If you’ve got an extra $50 to $60 lying around, consider heading down to the Corcoran for an evening of fine American wines and cheeses in conjunction with the Encouraging American Genius exhibition. It’s deiinitely the least exciting of the Corcoran’s big three exhibitions right now, but Best Cellars co-founder Joshua Wesson is hosting, so we’re guessing the wine and cheese pairings will be worth the price of admission. Thursday at 7 p.m.

>> There should be a 3rd Thursday gallery crawl along 7th street this week, but it looks as though they haven’t updated their web site in a few months. Any one know anything about this?

>> Grand Openings, five different exhibitions all running concurrenlty at the Katzen Arts Center at AU, opens Friday. Out of the five, DCist is most interested to see work by Beat Era filmmaker Bruce Conner, as well as which Gene Davis paintings the Center has selected. Oct. 21 through Dec. 17.
