Opening Friday, May 20 from 6pm-2am and running through June 17th, Art Whino’s G40 Art Summit has taken over a decaying television studio on 14th Street and turned it into a 25,000 square foot labyrinth of creative expression. Hundreds of artists have hung everything from greek-themed wheatpastes to a spraypainted skateboards; three-dimensional woodwork to painted murals; and another hauled in bags of dirt to create an organic garden of electrical wiring. Our buddies DC51, Albus Cavus, the No Kings Collective, Brightest Young Things–who’s curating special events during G40′s four weeks of life, and many others are all here. It’s a short time to see a lotta art, but you can do it!
Plus vitaminwater® has nearly 25,000 bottles of their stuff in the parking garage, just waiting to hydrate thirsty art buyers. If you get a chance, bring your electrolytes to the 2nd and 3rd floors to see my three instant print collages. While sweating out installations over the past two weeks I took some pictures of G40′s evolution that are the focus of today’s post. Hope to see you tonight.
