Closing Night Party for Robin Bell's 'Open'
Finally, projectionist Robin Bell's exhibition at the Corcoran School of the Arts and Design also wraps up this weekend. Perhaps best known for his "guerrilla" messages projected on the Trump International Hotel in 2017, "Open" is a meditation back to the Corcoran’s 1989 decision to cancel a Robert Mapplethorpe retrospective over concerns that its government funding could be jeopardized. Fellow artists will respond on Sunday to the questions "Open" raises with with closing night of free dance and music.
When: Sunday, March 31, 6-11 p.m.
Where: Corcoran School of the Arts and Design, 500 17th St. NW, Atrium Galleries
Admission: Free
