GALLERY OPENING OF THE WEEK Installation, performance, video, painting — no medium goes
unexplored at Conner Contemporary this month. That’s because three very different artists will have solo
exhibitions open at the gallery Saturday: “Mercurius Duplex” features the work of British painter John Stark, whose richly painted hooded figures reference the overwrought imagery of death-metal albums; Belfast-based artist Susan MacWilliam meticulously researched and reenacted a 1930s seance for her video “F-L-A-M-M-A-R-I-O-N”; and D.C. artist John Kirchner’s “Infinity,” a massive installation and site-specific performance, explores boating as a mid-century symbol of status. Gallery director Leigh Conner had been mum about the nature
of Kirchner’s performance but has now revealed that it will include nudity.
Opening reception Saturday from 6 to 8 p.m. Conner Contemporary, 1358 Florida Ave. NE. 202-588-8750.
