Exhibits with local ties, now on view or opening soon at D.C. galleries.
“Gothic Resilience” Photographer Colin Winterbottom looks at the National Cathedral in the wake of D.C.’s 2011 earthquake, examining the damage done to some of its unique features. On view to Feb. 10 at Long View Gallery, 1234 9th St. NW. Free.
“The Network” To make this dynamic video portrait—which the National Portrait Gallery recently added to its permanent collection—Lincoln Schatz conducted interviews with dozens of federal employees and elected officials. It’s not a local work per se, but it does look at some of the people who help perpetuate the idea of Washington as a center of power, as opposed to the living city of Washington. Opens Feb. 9 at Connersmith, 1358 Florida Ave. NE. Free.
“Delicate/Violent” David Amoroso’s portraits of D.C. area reggaeton and hip-hop artists portray tough-looking guys doing tough things—mugging, aiming guns—but he offers a couple of surprises in portraits that show artists like FenomeDon frowning at pretty flowers. On view to March 16 at Artisphere’s Mezzanine Gallery, 1101 Wilson Blvd., Arlington. Free.
