Charlotte Dumas, an Amsterdam- and New York-based photographer, is probably best known for her series documenting the rescue dogs of 9/11. But that project is just one of Dumas’ several animal series, four of which the Corcoran is showing as part of their ongoing Dumas exhibit, “Anima.” One of her most compelling series focuses on the burial horses of Arlington National Cemetery. Working in teams of six, these horses execute eight burial ceremonies a day, five days a week. Read more >>> (Louis Jacobson)

The exhibit is on view 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, and 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Thursdays to Oct. 28 at The Corcoran Gallery of Art, 500 17th St. NW. $10. Free on Saturdays to Sept. 1. corcoran.org. (202) 639-1700.
