We’ve been keeping tabs on Patrick McDonough, one of the DC-based artists we featured in issue three of the magazine. Patrick’s every exhibition is a surprise, a new angle, a new project – from a full-scale, immersive rec room experience to the chance to be a post-mortem recipient of the artist’s tattooed skin. Regardless of [...]

Today in Dupont Circle a mysterious “LOVE” piece went up around the fountain.  Rumors on Twitter imply this has something to do with the Cherry Blossom Festival, whose parade is coming up on April 9th.  Do you know anything about this mysterious sculpture?  Is it yours?  Leave us a comment.  We’re pretty sure it’s not [...]
