XINDC

X has got to be one of the most creative event ideas I have heard about thus far. The concept behind X is to create a living, breathing, multi-media exhibit to inspire artist and change the way the masses think. The creators utilize everything from film, music, fashion and even performance art; there will be a "tribal fusion belly dancer" at this months event. Trust me, you don't want to miss this!

Hirshhorn After Hours!

DJ Solomon Sanchez will be spinning and Luke Fischbeck and Sarah Rara perform as Lucky Dragons. Using homemade hardware and software, audience members join together to build a network of signals connected by skin to skin contact "Sound, video, dance and interactive technology merge into a mysterious and unpredictable “happening,” in which each individual’s slightest touch registers a shift in the sound and image created."
And Hooliganship will be performing!

Hirshhorn After Hours is held in the museum's court yard. All the galleries of the Hirshhorn will be open, and yes, there will be booze there.

Date: April 4, 2008, 8pm-midnight
Tickets are $10 in advance and $12 at the door.

Jati Lindsay

Jati Lindsay's work is all over the place. Open the City Paper, The Washington Post, The Source and even Essence and you are bound to see of some his photos. His work has been featured in local and international galleries including the Philadelphia African American Museum. His ongoing documentation U Street has brought attention to an area that has gone through more rapid changes than perhaps any other area in Washington DC. His black and white images evoke nostalgia of the days when U Street was a home of jazz greats and urban hangouts, not over priced boutiques and cookie cutter lounges.

Long before photographers such as David Scheinbaum even discovered hip hop/urban culture, Jati Lindsay was shooting hip hop artist in concert and for album covers. Some albums he shot covers for include; Big Brother, Platinum Pied Pipers and The Foreign Exchange. Jati is often seen around town with his camera shooting events, local artist and landscapes.
