Plan A — A new art gallery will move into the former Gallery Plan B space on 14th Street NW. [Borderstan]
A new art gallery will open in the space formerly occupied by Gallery Plan B on July 18.
Two Georgetown galleries, Neptune Fine Art and Robert Brown Gallery announced today the opening of a joint “satellite space” called Gallery Neptune and Brown.
The new gallery will be located in the old Gallery Plan B space, across the street from the Studio Theatre at 1530 14th Street NW.
Former Gallery Plan B Director David Kalamar will be hired on to help manage the new location, confirmed Robert Brown of Robert Brown Gallery.
Nepture Fine Art owner Christine Neptune and Robert Brown will co-own the space.
Gallery Plan B owner Paula Amt announced the closure of her beloved 14th Street art space last Monday.
“We decided after the 10 year anniversary that it was time,” Amt told Borderstan. “Go out on a high note with good memories and accomplishments.”
Amt will not return to help with the new gallery.
The gallery’s first exhibit, “Summer Splash on 14th Street,” will run from July 18 until September 5 and feature artists Polly Apfelbaum, Donald Baechler, Ellsworth Kelly and Philip Taaffe.
Neptune Fine Art was founded in New York City in 2000, an focuses mainly on modern and contemporary art.
Robert Brown Gallery first opened in Georgetown in 1981. Over the years, Brown has exhibited artists such as Roger Ballen, Oleg Kudryashov, Sol Lewitt and David Nash.

Local artists now have one less place in which to hang their work.
Gallery Plan B owner Paula Amt and director David Kalamar announced in a Facebook post yesterday that the gallery located across the street from the Studio Theatre is closed for good.
Amt confirmed the closure earlier today via e-mail.
“We are closing, not moving,” said Amt. “Our last exhibition finished yesterday and we will be out of the space by the end of the month.”
“We decided after the 10 year anniversary that it was time,” added Amt. “Go out on a high note with good memories and accomplishments.”
The business, which opened a decade ago on the first floor of 1530 14th Street NW, had been a popular exhibition space for local photographers, painters and sculptors.
Amt said a new art-themed business would open in the space later this summer, but would not offer any additional details.

Photography: “Process and Perspective.” (Courtesy Gallery plan b)
With the advent of the iPhone, it’s hard arguing the art of photography hasn’t been lost to an impulsive urge to snap a pick and instagram.
Coming June 19 gallery plan b is exhibiting a slew of talented photographers — yes, their work still exists beyond our palm-sized screens — in the collaborative show, “Photography: Process and Perspective.”
The show features both national and local photographers who use a variety of techniques — printing on aluminum, abstract imagery and archival digital photography to name a few–in conveying their personal world view through the lens.
Amongst this talented bunch is photographer and New York University Professor Donna Cameron, who holds a U.S. Patent for her specialized cinematic paper emulsion process (CPE) and who’s work is in the permanent collection at the MOMA in New York City. Her pieces exude colorful texture and pattern while being deceptively flat to the touch (many are printed on aluminum, after all) and each one holds a narrative not easily recognized in a single passing view.
Kermit Berg, Charlie Gaynor, Marc Sirinsky and David Young are also exhibiting, all of whom are recognized for their unique contributions to the photographic world. Charlie Gaynor, a DC-native, is part realtor, part photographer who combines his two passions in creating images that largely abstract his subject and give the homes new life. David Young is a product of Birmingham, Alabama but a country boy at heart. He began photographing in 2005 as a means to stay outside, and his work reflects the passion and respect he has for the environment.
All five of these photographers’ works will be on display starting June 19 at gallery plan b on 14 Street. There will be an opening reception June 20 from 6 to 8pm and the show will run until July 21.

Shapiro’s Nutcracker
bronze 14″ x 14″ x 9″ work at gallery plan b. (Courtesy of gallery)
The 14th street corridor’s gallery plan b is showing work by 100-year-old artist Marilee H. Shapiro, perhaps the only individual to have been personal witness to the ebbs and flows of the DC arts-scene for the past 70 years.
A DC-resident since moving to the area in 1943, Shapiro’s sculptural works are often abstract, and most often have roots in questions surrounding the human figure, its movements and nuances.
Nutcracker, a bronze sculpture just over one foot tall appropriates geometric elements to create an aesthetic reminiscent of Brancusi’s work in the first half of the 20th century.
In her solo show, “Marilee Shapiro: A Collection, 100 Years in the Making,” now at gallery plan b, open until March 31, Shapiro features some of her more recent works, fluid, transparent and ethereal figures and images made using computer graphics, a skill the century-old artist learned taking a class at the Corcoran.
J’acusse projects a digital image onto paper, creating a nearly three-dimensional work that brings the confrontational narrative into the viewers immediate space and implicates him in the apparent altercation. Looking at the image, one contemplates the scene and is challenged to intervene in the narrative.
Gallery plan b is at 1530 14th Street NW and is open Wednesday through Saturday from noon to 7 pm, and Sunday from 1 to 5 pm.

Wachsstock’s work. (Photo Credit Elizabeth Grazioli)
This month, gallery plan b‘s windows and walls are full of their collection’s finest. The year-end group exhibition includes the work of 30+ local artists, including some new to the gallery. The collection consists of smaller, affordable pieces that really create a well-rounded show for the holiday season.
This show includes everything from hand made pottery, to jewelry, to prints and paintings. The gallery is at 1530 14th Street NW.
David Kalamar, gallery director, took a moment to discus the show with us and in particular the jewelry on display from Tina Bark Designs and KEEPTABZ. Tracy Blumenthal was the creator of the KEEPTABZ collection, who unfortunately passed away in 2011 of Lupus.
Kalamar says that the gallery will be donating a portion of the proceeds to the Cleveland Chapter of the Lupus Foundation, where Blumenthal was from. This amazingly charitable twist to the usual gallery showing is perfect for the holiday season and an amazing gesture from the gallery.
In addition to the jewelry collections, we think the showstopper is the work of local artist Paula Wachsstock. Her work is a captivating group of small monotypes that show the landmarks of Washington, DC,in full color. One in particular places a stark white Washington Monument over an orange Jefferson Monument.
The whiteness of the Washington caught my eye from feet away. Wachsstock definitely has an eye for color and uses it in both her printmaking and paintings in a very bright and fluid way. While we prefer her printmaking, we certainly look forward to seeing if the gallery brings her paints to its walls in 2013.
More on gallery plan b and the show can be found on the website. Please also stop in to the gallery for a very special book signing and reading from artist Kathy Beynette on Sunday December 16 at 2 pm. The show is up through December 23.

From Eliza French. Follow her on Twitter @elizaenbref; email her at eliza[AT]borderstan.com.
Inspired by the legacy of modern artists like Pablo Picasso and Andy Warhol, Carl Amt combines words and text to produce works that function as social commentary. Citing a range of influences from Shepard Fairey to Robert Rauschenberg, Amt also incorporates elements of the street art aesthetic in his work and experiments with textural applications, such as applying candle wax to the canvas. Amt is an art collector, as well, with a special focus on New York-based street artists.
Amt has been living and practicing art in Borderstan for more than 20 years. He works in a shared studio on 14th Street in Logan Circle and frequently visits neighborhood galleries and local museums. Throughout his career, Amt has worked in mixed-media collage. Either an image or a particular phrase for a piece strikes him, and then he finds the right text or image to complete the message and composition of the work. In his current projects, Amt is revisiting sketches and older pieces, reworking old paintings and collages, and fleshing out partial sketches into fully realized works.
Most recently, Amt is revamping his 12-year-old collaboration with local artists Susan Engle, Aster da Fonseca and Mark Palmer. The group began exhibiting together as S.C.A.M. in 2000. Amt’s cousin, Paula Amt, brought the group together 12 years ago when she introduced the four artists to each other. Rather than sharing a “common thread” or guiding principle that unites their work, Amt says, the artist group relies on its diversity to create unique exhibitions. In its latest iteration, S.C.A.M., has expanded to S.C.A.M.P., and now includes Paula Amt of gallery plan b, who has continued to be involved with the group and its works since its inception.
See Amt’s latest works in S.C.A.M.P., June 20 to July 29, 2012 at gallery plan b, 1530 14th Street NW.

Michael Crossett at his studio. (Luis Gomez Photos)
From Eliza French. Follow her on Twitter @elizaenbref; email her at eliza[AT]borderstan.com.
A child in a military family, Michael D. Crossett lived in Hawaii, Japan, Pennsylvania, Alabama and Virginia by the time he was in high school. These drastically different cultural influences shaped his point of view and his artistic eye. In particular, he has incorporated characteristics of the Japanese aesthetic — the highly designed nature of everyday objects, the bright colors, and bold but patterns. The graphic appeal and immediacy of these elements still drives his approach today.
Crossett currently has a solo exhibition at gallery plan b on 14th Street NW through June 17 and a group show in Provincetown. Potential future projects include public installations, sculpture, oil painting and encaustic.
As a teenager, Crossett took up photography and carefully developed his photographs to control the final image. He continues to take photographs but lost interest as digital methods began to eclipse traditional photography. Above all, he values the instant connections viewers develop with photographs and has successfully translated that connection into other mediums.
Crossett majored in marketing and advertising at George Mason and currently works as a Director of Design. About five years ago, he earned a Certificate of Graphic Design from the Corcoran College of Art and Design. He began experimenting with silk screening and mixed media collage. He often manipulates photographed images by transferring them to silkscreen and adding them into collages.
Crossett’s greatest ambition for his work is “connecting with people” rather than alienating them with inscrutable subject matter. He seeks to engage viewers, draw them in with a sense of familiarity, and then push them to learn through his art. This goal was evident in the pieces he displayed during last Saturday’s Mid City Artists open studios, many of which included details and images easily associated with specific locations in their composition.
As a local artist, Crossett appreciates the”small town” feel of D.C.’s neighborhoods that contrast with the city’s reputation as a major tour destination. Two of his favorite areas in DC.are the 14th Street Corridor and Mount Pleasant. Around Borderstan, he frequently visits Estadio, Teasim, U Street Music Hall, Coppi’s, and 9:30 Club.
