The Smithsonian announced yesterday that they’ve officially formed the committee to find the replacement for Olga Viso as the new Director of the Hirshhorn. The group of eight includes local art collectors and Hirshhorn trustees, a couple Smithsonian officers, and the Director of SFMoMA, though we can think of at least one more loud voice that might want in on the decision. We’ll be interested to hear who they come up with before Viso leaves at the end of the year.

This Weekend Only:

>> Second Fridays mean Bethesda Art Walks. The approach of chilly weather means that tomorrow will be the last guided tour of the season, so get there promptly at 6:30 p.m. to follow along the free trek to 8 of the 13 participating galleries, including Fraser Gallery, which opens a group show of narrative paintings. As go the tours, so goes the Bethesda Artist Market, which will hold its last event of the year this Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

>> Project 4 and The Pink Line are throwing another art party this weekend, this time taking over the Lee Jensen Brake Shop at 1333 14th Street NW. While hanging out in the dirty garage, view the art of 13 artists who make up Luster with their works exploring the superficial and excessive consumerist culture. The $10 cover, which goes to Pink Line’s emerging artists program, includes cocktails and live music. The show goes on Saturday from 7 p.m. to midnight, and Sunday 12 to 5 p.m.

>> If you find yourself squeezing your eyes shut when the Nip/Tuck cameras zero in on a flayed open body and a doctor with stainless steel diving in between the organs, you probably haven’t stopped by Bodies…The Exhibition yet. For the rest of you who can suffer some severe gross-out moments in order to examine the wonder of the human body, this is your last chance. The exhibition at The Dome in Rosslyn will hold its last day this Sunday.
