DESCRIPTION:Dulce Pinzón was born in Mexico City in 1974. She studied Mass Media Communications at the Universidad de Las Americas in Puebla Mexico and Photography at Indiana University in Pennsylvania. In 1995 she moved to New York where she studied at The International Center of Photography. As a young Mexican artist living in the US, Dulce soon found new inspiration for her photography in feelings of nostalgia, questions of identity, and political and cultural frustrations. In her black and white series "Viviendo en el Gabacho" (a Mexican colloquialism for living in the US) she illustrates the dualistic phenomenon of the integration of the Mexican immigrant into the New York landscape. "The Real Story of the superheroes" comes full circle to reintroduce the Mexican immigrant in New York in a satirical documentary style featuring ordinary men and women in their work environment donning superhero garb, thus raising questions of both our definition of heroism and our ignorance of and indifference to the workforce that fuels our ever-consuming economy. Her work has been published and collected internationally. In 2001 her photos were used for the cover of a publication of Howard Zinn's book "A People's History of the United States". In 2002 Dulce won the prestigious Jovenes Creadores grant in Mexico for her work. Dulce was a 2006 fellow in Photography from the New York Foundation for the Arts. In 2006 she was awarded an Honorific Mention in the Santa Fe project competition and she won the 12th edition of the Mexican Biennial of El Centro de La Imagen. http://www.dulcepinzon.com/superheroes.htm. Gallery will close at 3pm on December 24 and will be closed for the holidays, December 25, 2009 through January 2, 2010. Exhibition is from 11/4/2009 to 12/24/2009.

DESCRIPTION:Join Ten Miles Square and the Pink Line Project with the work of nine local photographers for the second annual Fixation exhibit.

These photographers each create a narrative with a short series of images, differentiating the stereotypical image of our Nation's Capital from the people actually living inside it. Their photographs inspect our city's individual subcultures and the people who thrive in them, whether it's the intense rock convulsions of serious air guitar competitors or the eager characters at the local Renaissance festival. Some create their own scenes by simply coming together as bystanders, while others transit separately in search of the same something.  What these images all have in common is a fixation on subculture carved out inside the story of this city.

Featured photographers: Nicole Aguirre, Karon Flage, Angela Kleis, Drew McDermott, Amit Mehta, Pat Padua, Jay Westcott, Aziz Yazdani, and Joshua Yospyn.

Performances:
6-9 PM Music by Yoko K!
