Artist and architect Wayne Schiffelbein says seeing the 1964 Retrospective of Alexander Calder at New York’s Guggenheim Museum was an “unforgettable experience” that inspired his art career. Art in Motion, at Reston Art Gallery and Studios, features an array of Schiffelbein’s mobiles and stabiles, each with its own distinctive character in combinations of colorful aluminum and glass balanced with stainless steel. Schiffelbein can be found often in his workspace on site at the gallery, where he is pleased to chat about his creations, each subtly inscribed with the completion date and his signature. Art In Motion is open every weekend through July 31 from 10:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. on Saturdays, and from 12:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m. on Sundays through July 31; 11400 Washington Plaza West, Reston, VA.
Pazo Fine Art (PFA) presentS SOFT POWER, a group exhibition featuring works by Mary Anne Arntzen, Sue Crawford, Wayson R. Jones, Jean Jinho Kim, and Danni O’Brien. Each responds to the strident politicization of our times with a gentle inner strength—demonstrating how, within a society that often seems intent on opposition and antagonism, artists seek ways to constructively create. This show is the first in what is to be an annual summer exhibition in which PFA presents artists who live and work in the greater DC area. Soft Power opens Saturday, July 16, with a reception from 5–8 pm. It is on view through August 25, and PFA is open by appointment Tuesday-Saturday; 4228 Howard Avenue, Kensington, MD.
