>> Last weekend The Phillips Collection’s exhibit of work by Sean Scully opened. This is the first U.S. show of his Wall of Light series, inspired by a trip to Mexico 20 years ago, according to the Museum’s web site. This show is also a good chance to see the Phillips’ newly-expanded space, in case you haven’t already. Niels by Sean Scully is shown at right.

>> Busboys and Poets, the new coffeehouse/restaurant/”gathering place” at 14th and V has a free showing of Race is the Place, a documentary about racial stereotypes, at 6:30 p.m. tonight. You can check out DCist’s review of Busboys and Poets here.

>> They’re not kidding when they call it a “micro gallery” on their web site; Curator’s Office on 14th Street is physically very small, but if their last show is a measure of the gallery’s worth, it is also looming very large in the local art scene. Their web site has yet to be updated, but we received word from the Cultural Development Corporation’s site that a new photography exhibit, Me, Myself and I: Artist Self-Portraits from the Heather & Tony Podesta Collection, opens at the gallery this Saturday.
