When I walked into Civilian Arts Project, the crowd was lively and the wine was flowing-the bartenders had just run out of Pabst Blue Ribbon.
Ryan Hill's work was in the front room (his exhibit, entitled Superfacial, included a collage that spanned one of the walls; the images included contemporary tabloid pics, iconic images, adverts, movie moments, et cetera) while Lindsey Raymond's pieces were in the back (she is a recent Corcoran graduate, and this is her first gallery opening outside of school).
The style was fascinating, for the most part; there were lots of tattoos, piercings, "hipster flats", spikes, gages, skinnys...
I also ran into another BYT photographer:

was there nothing else to take pics of besides peoples shoes?
The shoes are part of the atmosphere. It's my thing. And...there ARE other pictures.
GREAT PHOTOS!!!
Nice work Aineki - I dig the shoes and coverage, plus the Mister Rogers shirt looks familiar.
lindsey is a really wonderful person and artist - do yourself a favor and check out her work.
Smashing!
The show is fantastic and Civilian continues to have inspiring, interesting, and kick-arse exhibits.
so happy for lindsey!!
