Arlington Arts in partnership with the Friends of the David M. Brown Planetarium presents In the Midst of the Inferno: A Full Dome Projection by Jonathan Monaghan from Friday, April 20 - Sunday, April 22.
Called “one of the best and most innovative projects in the region” by Washington City Paper, Arlington Arts and Friends of the David M. Brown Planetarium present the latest installation - In the Midst of the Inferno: A Full Dome Projection by Jonathan Monaghan, with multiple screenings occurring on the half-hour throughout the weekend. Eliciting subconscious fears surrounding authority and wealth, Monaghan’s critical reflection on power in the digital age is a journey through surreal environments evoking science fiction and high-security luxury apartments: a world both absurd and dystopian, yet eerily familiar.

Unnoticed Beauty

"For most of us, knowledge of our world comes largely through sight, yet we look about with such unseeing eyes that we are partially blind. One way to open your eyes to unnoticed beauty is to ask yourself, "What if I had never seen this before? What if I knew I would never see it again?" - Rachel Carson, The Sense of Wonder
Opening Reception: April 17 @ 6:30PM, 3700 S. Four Mile Run, Four Mile Run Valley. Exhibit thru June 7

Girlfriend
Girlfriend is a vibrant and tender coming of age musical duet from when flannel was the height of fashion and mix tapes were the language of love. It’s 1993 in small-town Nebraska during the summer between high school and whatever comes next.
College-bound jock Mike and self-assured but aimless Will find themselves drawn to each other. Their rush of first-time love, full of excitement, confusion and passion, is captured by the power-pop precision and frayed guitar emotion of Matthew Sweet’s alternative rock album “Girlfriend.” “A rock ‘n’ roll valentine that delivers subtle wisdom with an exhilarating kick.” – Rolling Stone Magazine DC PREMIERE More
