SUMMARY:Hacking Objects of Desire - Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Curator Kade Twist discusses the work in the new Target Gallery exhibition. \nIn Hacking Objects of Desire\, JoarNango\, Silje Figenschou Thoresen\, and Sigbjørn Skåden incorporate indigenous design traditions and pragmatism into contemporary work. The exhibition of photographs\, sculpture\, and video draw from a previous collaborative project\, Indigenuity\, which presented a detailed survey of the Sámi worldview and resilience expressed through do-it-yourself ethos\, creative knowledge\, invention and improvisation. \nThe Sámi people are the indigenous people of Scandinavia\, who live in the Arctic area of Sápmi\, which encompasses far northern regions of Norway\, Sweden\, Finland\, and Russia. \nThe exhibition takes on new context—particularly when located so close to national and international policy makers in the Northern Virginia and greater Washington\, D.C. area—as a critical statement about globalism\, consumerism\, and commercialism. \nThis exhibition is in partnership with the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Washington.

SUMMARY:Alexandria Community Art Library
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of the Torpedo Factory Art Center’s 40th Anniversary\, Chicago-based artist Sara Black and the art duo Hideous Beast will transform the Target Gallery into a community library. Constructed from repurposed and locally sourced building materials\, this community space will feature a diverse array of public programming. While on the one hand serving to archive and share TFAC’s rich history as a creative place\, the exhibition also questions newly emerging modes of both art making and arts funding.

SUMMARY:Meteorology
DESCRIPTION:Opening & Performance: Saturday\, January 18th from 2-4pm\nReception: Thursday\, February 13th\, 6-8pm; Curator Talk with Laura Roulet at 7pm\nWhere: Target Gallery\, Torpedo Factory Art Center\, 105 N. Union Street\, Alexandria\, VA \nDescription:\nTarget Gallery presents it’s first curated show of 2014\, Frances Gallardo: Meteorology. The exhibition will run from Saturday\, January 18th through Sunday\, March 2nd\, 2014 and will feature large-scale cut-paper installations\, sculpture\, and conceptual performance art. There will be an opening reception and performance on Saturday\, January 18th from 2-4pm. There will be an additional reception on Thursday\, February 13th from 6-8pm\, which will include a curator talk by Laura Roulet at 7pm. \nThe deceptive beauty of Frances Gallardo’s cut-paper hurricane series belies the urgent underlying theme of climate change\, which is a particular threat for her native island of Puerto Rico in the Tropics. Gallardo’s work combines exquisitely crafted cut-paper installations with conceptual performance art. Delving beneath the surface\, paper serves as a metaphor for human skin and vulnerability. Based on satellite imagery appropriated from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) website\, Meteorology includes large-scale cut-paper installations and sculpture. The public opening on Saturday\, January 18 will include a site-responsive performance by the artist. \nAbout Frances Gallardo\nFrances Gallardo (b. 1984 San Juan\, Puerto Rico) lives and works in San Juan and New York.
