If you’re pouring one out for your boys at tonight’s happy hour, give pause for Kim Ward. It’s Ward’s Washington Project for the ArtsCorcoran that has set aside Georgetown’s former Staples store for some face melting art exhibits in the past few months (that small Post Secret thing, for example).

Wallsnatchers is the venue’s most recent offering, a graffiti and street art installation that represents a stark contrast to the ink cartridge and paper shredder trompe l’oeil that was the beige office supply store. This is Borf’s Staples—trade the Bic whiteout pen for the wide-tag shoe polish.

DCist was at the show’s opening last Thursday to see six nationally known graffiti artists, curated by D.C.’s own Kelly Towles. The presentation is one of compacted anarchy, with Towles’ pink roller painted gallery text mingling with the art itself. The tags and throwups here are articulate, huge, and careful in the same way World Bank protesters tossing bricks in to a Starbucks are ‘careful.’ If visitors feel put-off by surgically clean galleries, they will be plenty comfortable next to the open tag wall where you can make your own mess.
