GALLERYOPENING OFTHEWEEK
Sculptor Graham Caldwell gets a lot of mileage
out of glass, making it look, variously, like candy, Christmas ornaments, mirrors, fungus, viscera, antlers, teeth and claws, depending on his mood. There’s also a conceptual underpinning that
grounds the merely pretty (or, in some cases, gross) work. On Saturday from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., “Graham Caldwell: The Uncanny Valley” opens at G Fine Art with a free public reception. On view through Feb. 5 at 1350 Florida Ave. NE. 202-462-1601.
