Jacqueline Levine will draw on influences as divergent as Dutch painting and 80s movies to create a site-specific installation, The Temptation. Levine merges her interest in Hieronymous Bosch’s 15th century masterpiece, The Garden of Earthly Delights and the pop culture hit Honey, I Shrunk the Kids to create a mixed media environment. The installation will feature oversized focal points alongside lush and fantastic floor and wall-based works.
“The DC Jazz Jam has provided a tremendous boost to DC’s indigenous jazz scene. [The] cadre of fine musicians at Dahlak have managed to create a warm, inviting, encouraging, and creative environment at their weekly jam sessions, which is no small accomplishment.
