Speaking of the blazered one.....
Friday, March 9
In a city where most people hold down 9-to-after-5 jobs, it's frustrating when most museums' hours follow suit. So when the Hirshhorn hosts one of its late-night events, we have to show them some love. Like last year's well-received Jim Lambie party, tonight's Hirshhorn After Hours celebrates the opening of a new installation (Virgil Marti and Pae White's "Directions," which fills the lobby with chandeliers and sculptures) and gives visitors a chance to wander through the soft glow and neon of "Refract, Reflect, Project: Light Works from the Collection." We're interested in creating our own Lite-Brite artwork (this time, without those handy construction-paper guides) as local scenester/indie-rock legend Ian Svenonius (of Nation of Ulysses, Make Up and Weird War) spins records. Expect plenty of vintage funk, soul and rock -- and did we mention there will be a cash bar? Until midnight? It's artiest party in town. Doors open at 8, and admission is $10 in advance and $12 at the door.
