Where/When: Heiner Contemporary, 1675 Wisconsin Ave. NW, Washington. Daily, Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Why Go: This is the solo exhibition of New York artist David Kramer. According to the , "Kramer was deeply influenced by the cultural clichés and advertisements of the 1970's. Using text, painting, and installation, he injects the glamorous images of his youth with pithy observations, personal aphorisms, and non-sequiturs to create satirized versions of the American Dream." Some of his works are available to view online.
Pricing: Open to all.
