Banned in DC 30th Anniversary of the Release of the Book

On December 13, 1988, Cynthia went to the printer in Maryland to pick up a couple copies of the Banned in DC book hot off the presses. Driving through the city, she dropped off a book to the Washington Post. The next day, on December 14th the book was positively reviewed in the Washington Post by Richard Harrington.

For this thirtieth anniversary, please come to one of four events with Cynthia Connolly, publisher and contributing photographer of Banned in DC. Released in 1988, Banned in DC (co-authored by Cynthia Connolly, Leslie Clague and Sharon Cheslow) is one of the first of its kind, illustrating and documenting the now legendary punk scene of Washington D.C. with hundreds of photos and flyers and stories about the bands, the venues and the people who populated the shows. This particular scene embodied a spirit of DIY that has come to be synonymous with punk, and it has continued to be an influence on many regional punk scenes around the world.

Cynthia will share her stories and images, some from the book and additional images of ephemera and photos in a quick paced slide show that will tell the story of growing up in Los Angeles where she discovered both art and underground punk music as her calling, and how she got involved in the "scene". The story unfolds in 1981, with a relocation to Washington, DC where you get to learn more of her involvement with a very small group of kids who contribute and create a world-wide inspirational music movement like no other. 30 years later there is still a demand for Banned in DC, and Cynthia has produced a seventh edition with an 8-page afterword added, which will be available for $25 at the events. FREE ADMISSION.

How to make Something from Nothing at Escuela de Arte San Telmo

Photographic workshop with Cynthia Connolly, fine art photographer, artist, curator and writer/publisher of Banned in DC- Photos and Anecdotes from the DC Punk Underground

Bring a camera or your smartphone to learn how to find the ordinary and make it extraordinary. Connolly 's work as both artist and curator focuses on revealing what is hidden but in plain sight. In the workshop, you will see a slideshow of what influenced Connolly's artwork—from growing up in Los Angeles and then moving to Washington, DC - getting involved in both punk scenes and eventually writing and self- publishing the first book on the DC punk underground, Banned in DC. You will learn how about her DIY style - how she continued to take photographs exploring subcultures and hyper focusing on our surroundings, and is now a successful photographer and curator. After the slideshow, the class will go out onto the streets of Malaga with a new perspective. You will break into groups and take photographs looking for hidden signs, patterns and architecture - discovering a new secret world! Upon your return everyone will tell a story they found in their photographic journey while showing their photos.

Slideshow and talk: 1.5 hours, Each student will do a 5 minute introduction to their work or who they are. On the street photographing: 1 hour, lunch: 30 minutes, Sharing what we found: 2 hours. Maximum number of students: 10. You do NOT have to have previous experience taking photographs. You will need to bring a digital camera or phone, and a cable compatible with your device to transfer images to a computer.

Deep Flash: On Art and Transformation At VisArts

In celebration of their 30th anniversary VisArts (formerly known as Rockville Arts Place) presents an exhibition in four galleries and alternative exhibition spaces that explores the power of visual art to transform. Thirteen curators, many who have played a critical role in the history of VisArts, selected a single work of art or a small curated group of artworks by multiple artists that address art's ability to shift social, cultural, or personal forms. An e-catalog of essays and images includes the curators' reflections on when, where, how, and what an experience with art changed them. This exhibition is in the spirit of sharing experiences and opening conversations about how the “work” of art can spark, trigger, or unleash conversions spectacular and subtle in both makers and viewers.

Curators: Cynthia Connolly, Judy Greenberg, J.W. Mahoney, Fletcher Mackey, Jacqueline Maria Milad, Andrea Pollan, Jack Rasmussen, Laura Roulet, Jose Ruiz, Nancy Sausser, Lynn Silverman, sindikit (Zoe Charlton and Tim Doud)

Artists include: Linn Meyers, Joe Shannon, Shane Gooding, Stephen Hayes, Frank Day, Elsabe Dixon, Ashley Culver, Guy Miller, Jean Jinho Kim, Elizabeth Sherman, Alex Ebstein, The Punk Rock Flyer and Zines, bees, Rachel Rotenberg, and others TBA.

Create your own zine or flyer at the hands on work table surrounding an exhibit of Connolly's personal collection of flyers from Los Angeles and Washington, DC and some zines from the Dischord Records archive initiated by Connolly, all from the 80's and 90's. Use the guidelines provided by John Davis. John is the Performing Arts Metadata Archivist at Special Collections in Performing Arts (SCPA), which is located in the Michelle Smith Performing Arts Library at UMD. SCPA has stewarded several collections related to D.C. punk since 2014.

Arlington, VA: May 2018

The Arlington Art Truck has launched with NEA Grant!! Find it on the streets and in the parks of Arlington County, Virginia

I have been working nearly three years as Special Projects Curator for Arlington County to develop and launch the Arlington Art Truck. It is a life long dream to create a van that brings art to the people.. in surprising and fun ways ...and where you least expect it! We even won a National Endowment for the Arts Grant to support the first season! Outfitted with both digital and traditional creative tools, this ordinary van is a mobile tool box for artists-in-residence to engage you in the creative process. Between April and October, curated projects will hit the streets and range from a pop-up gallery or workshop, to an impromptu performance. Immediately recognizable, the Ford Transit Van was hand-painted by Stephen Powers. Look for where the people are-- at a farmer's market or festival.. you will find the Arlington Art Truck!

We just had a month of activations with artists EMILY FRANCISCO and ALEX BRADEN with their artwork, "Bipedal Soundscapes". Everyone loved the project! You have a couple more chances to see them. Check out some photos on Instagram.

Up next week is Texas based artist ALICIA EGGERT . I curated a solo exhibit at Artisphere a couple years back and I cannot believe I am so lucky to be able to work with her again! Come to Arlington and see, You Are Magic that was made specifically for the Arlington Art Truck.

YOU ARE MAGIC by Alicia Eggert:

BIPEDAL SOUNDSCAPES by Emily Francisco and Alex Braden

Please note: the Arlington Art Truck events will be cancelled due to rain or severe wind.
More projects this summer with Kate Samworth, Marcella Kriebel and Marc Pekala.

That's Why I'm Here at the Cody Gallery at Marymount University

Featuring: Kyle Bauer, Cynthia Connolly, Elizabeth Huey, Kim Llerena, and Jordan Rathus. Curated by Meaghan Kent, the exhibition considers location and landscape as an impetus in creating work and questions our sense of placement within the grander scheme of space. Bittersweet, melancholic moments run throughout the exhibition as one discovers that within these moments of reorientation we can find perspective, humility and humor.

This is a rare opportunity to see EAST TO WEST: TRUCKS DRIVING

From the Back of the Room a film by Amy Odenat at Arlington Cinema and Drafthouse with a Q & A with Amy Oden, film maker, Michelle (Sick Fix) and Cynthia Connolly

Many people have the impression that the Riot Grrrl movement I the mid-90's was the end-all, be-all of female involvement in DIY punk. This is definitely not the case! Plenty of amazing ladies prior to this era paved the way for it, and plenty of amazing ladies continue to help keep DIY together today. This documentary chronicles the past 30 years of female involvement in DIY punk, and has interviews with over 30 women from across the country, ages 17 to 40. Race, gender, sexuality, motherhood, class, and activism are all addressed in this film, giving a more complete picture of how these women participate in the DIY community, and how it affects their daily lives.

I will be selling the books Banned in DC and East to West: Trucks Driving along with my postcard sets before after the screening.

Doors: 6:30, Film: 7:30, Q & A: 9:30, $10.

Eye of the Song: Visual Art by Musicians at Michael S. Currier Center Gallery

Curated by Susan Brearey. Opening Reception: Saturday, April 29th 4-6pm

Artists include: Sam Amidon, Sam Andrew, Anna & Elizabeth, Pete Bernhard, Justin Vivian Bond, John Cohen, Cynthia Connolly, Tim Eriksen, Polly Frizell, David Getz, Sean Greene, Peter Himmelman, Bob Johnson, Norman Kennedy, Peter Lewis, Robin MacArthur, Lubos Malina, Bob Neuwirth, Jan Ori, Ida Pearle, James Roberto, Peter Rowan, Donald Saaf, Rowland Salley, Frank Sansone, Austin Tufts, Butch Vig, Steve West, and Putney alumni David Amram '48, John Byrne Cooke '58, Willa '05 & Glenna Van Nostrand and surprise guests.

Music blows in like a storm, from parts unknown and unexpected directions, rattling the rafters. In the stillness of its center there is a vision—the Eye Of The Song. This multi-media exhibition celebrates visual work created by artists better known for their music. These musician/artists are revered for their work in musical genres ranging from “old-time” rock and jazz to folk-punk and Czech bluegrass. Many had extensive formal training in photography, painting, sculpture, drawing or print-making before finding themselves in prominent musical careers. Some are self-taught. But for all, Eye of the Song is a rare treat and an affecting glimpse into rich, surprising connections between the visual and the sonic.

Good and Plenty at School 33 Arts Center

Featuring: Darcie Book, Amy Hughes Braden, Estee Fox, Matt Hollis and Stefanie Williams. Curated by Cynthia Connolly

Most of us grew up with color televisions, monitors, and mobile phones, whose screens emanate a myriad of colors seemingly not replicable in the natural world. Using them daily, how much do these devices influence us? Are these exhibiting artists in GOOD AND PLENTY trying to recreate the luminosity and hue from these glowing beacons? Through the medium of pigments, paints, and manufactured objects used by these exhibiting artists, take the time to consider and witness the slow shift of our perceived color palette.

Opening reception: Friday, September 9

Making Space at Olly Olly Gallery

Olly Olly, an alternative art space in Fairfax, VA, is pleased to present Making Space, co-curated by Anne Smith. Making Space is an exhibition of artists whose work investigates an awareness of built space, especially the unexpected peculiarities found in rigid structures of architecture and infrastructure. Built structures able to be measured and marked on a map or blueprint become more complex and open-ended in the work of these artists. A wall, a window, a road, or a curb are shown as more than a nameable quantity, but contain tension, uncertainty, humor, and wonder. The artists in Making Space call attention to these flexibilities of built space, inserting ambiguity into structure. On Saturday, July 23, 2016, from 7pm to 10pm, spend an evening with the artists: Cynthia Connolly, Margo Elsayd, Anne Smith, Diane Szczepaniak, Elena Volkova

Opening reception: Saturday, July 23 7-10pm

FERMATA at Artisphere. Curated by Ryan Holladay, Cynthia Connolly, and Hayes Holladay.

Fermata is Artisphere's first exhibition dedicated entirely to sound and the largest of its kind in the region to date. Featuring nearly 30 artists, Fermata takes an expansive approach and is a celebration of individuals using sound in a variety of disciplines, from composer Ryuichi Sakamoto to NASA Kepler scientist Lucianne Walkowicz.

Centered around a wall of speakers designed by sound artist John Henry Blatter that will be used by all participants in the show, Fermata will unfold in three parts, or movements, each featuring a different combination of six to ten sound works that will cycle continuously for a month. Each Movement will play on a continuous loop with no two works playing simultaneously in the gallery; each piece will utilize every functioning speaker on the wall, allowing playback of multi-channel audio works. Fermata will conclude with Coda, a collaboration with Transformer as part of their annual Exercises program for emerging artists.

Rural Studio Benefit Opening at the Darryl Carter Boutique

I attended Auburn University's Rural Studio in 2002/03. Rural Studio is an undergraduate program of the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape Architecture at Auburn University. Since 1993, working within one of the poorest county's in Alabama, the program directs students to design and build projects that will help that immediate community. This is a benefit for homes to be built within the Black Belt region of Alabama, where the Rural Studio resides. The Rural Studio has designed a housing prototype that enables low income families to break the cycle of poverty. One house= $20,000. Please help in contributing so the Rural Studio can built eight $20,000 houses this spring. I will be exhibiting and selling photographs and postcards from my time in Alabama as part of this benefit.

This evening, if you donate $30-$50 at the door, you will have access to the benefit and yummy snacks and drinks. Please come if you can!! My project at the Rural Studio is here (the Rural Studio site is under construction and my project does not appear on that site at this time).

The Darryl Carter Boutique is located at 1320 9th Street NW, Washington, DC 20001 (at 9th and O NW). The opening is at 6:30PM.

ALPTRAUM! at Green Papaya Art Projects

ALPTRAUM! (translated from German as "nightmare") is a comprehensive group exhibition of small to medium sized works on paper in a variety of disciplines (painting, drawing, screen prints, photography, collage) by an international mix of nearly 100 artists.

Developed by artists Marcus Sendlinger (Berlin) and Jay Stuckey (Los Angeles), and co-curated by Victoria Reis of Transformer (WDC) and Richard Priestly of Cell Project Space (London), ALPTRAUM! features work by twenty DC based artists from Transformer's FlatFile program, along with twenty artists from each of the other participating host cities. ALPTRAUM! Organizer Marcus Sendlinger states:

ALPTRAUM! is an artist led project. It is a model which utilizes global communication between localized artist hubs & clusters to form an international grouping with the intent of opening dialogue across borders and cultures in order to delve into the stuff and mind murk that is either collectively shared or completely random and unrelated, all within the syndrome of 'The Nightmare'. Each artist draws on their own personal experience in order to visualize anxieties that take them beyond everyday dreams.

ALPTRAUM! launched at Transformer in December 2010 and has been traveling internationally ever since.

Shaw Community Library

I will be in a panel talking about the club/art venue I booked in from 1986- 1992 called d.c. space. d.c. space was the place for punk, new wave, performance art, free jazz, poetry, independent films and all things avant-garde from '77 to '91 at 7th & E Streets, NW. The bar/restaurant was a center for innovative art and artists; twenty years later, numerous musicians and fans still say its closing has left an unfilled hole. space's owner/founder artist Bill Warrell and the club's booker Cynthia Connolly, manager Jean Homza, and 930 Club's booker, Lisa White, as well as other key players will be on hand to tell us what was really happening from the inside. Great music, live footage, still photos, old calendars, and other first hand accounts will remind those who were there and educate those who weren't: space was the place. Wednesday, October 12th at 7pm at the Shaw Community Library at 7th and R Streets, NW Washington, DC
