"Glitchscape" at Addison/Ripley Fine Art

Curated by Trevor Young, this group exhibition brings together 14 national and local artists exploring the tension between dystopian and utopian themes. The show weaves together figurative realism and abstraction through a visual language of flora, fauna, grids, and broken grids β€” with threads of humor, darkness, and everything in between. Artists include Reem Bassous, Lindsay Mueller, Taegan Treichel, Mira Hecht, Jenny Kranzler, Trevor Young, Valerie Larko, Matt Pinney, Zach Storm, and Alex Schaefer. Location: Addison/Ripley Fine Art, 1670 Wisconsin Avenue, Washington, DC
