>> At Randall Scott, see the new photographic exhibit by Sarah Wilmer. The young Brooklyn artist was named as one of the 30 under 30 to watch by PDN Magazine last year; in the accompanying profile she describes her work as “dark and weird.” Wilmer creates worlds — often faiery, dream-like worlds, populated with pale, beautiful people doing mysterious tasks (pictured right). See them at the reception on Saturday, 7 to 9 p.m.

>> Transformer bounces back from their eviction last week by reopening Here & Now with a flurry of activities. Start on Saturday at 1 p.m. at the gallery with installations by artists Mariah Johnson and Valerie Molnar, and an artist discussion at 3:30 p.m. Later that evening, head over to Comet Ping Pong (another venue no stranger to government shut-downs) where the Outlaw Art Party starts at 9:30 p.m., including a projection of all the Here & Now artists’ work.

>> Project 4 opens a group show that looks across our landscape with eyes of idealism for what it could be, romanticism for what it should be, or perhaps even a fear of what it might just turn into. The Sublime Landscape riffs off the “sublime” work by artists viewing the new American world in the 19th century, broadening it with cultural influence and modern development. Opening reception is Saturday, 6 to 8:30 p.m.

>> Art Whino will feature the absorbing self-portrait work of Mary Spring this Friday in We Don’t Sleep Well, as well as the addition of four new artists to their permanent collection, with a party featuring music by Eighteenth Street Lounge’s DJ Tom B and a cash bar, from 6 p.m. to midnight. Contrary to our previous notes on Art Whino’s move to the new National Harbor space (which we were under the impression was a second location), their old space in Alexandria is actually closed for good.
