Tamar Ettun: My Hands Are the Shape of My Height
September 20 – October 25, 2014
Opening Reception: Saturday, September 20, 6 - 8pm
Transformer presents a multi-media installation by Brooklyn-based Israeli artist Tamar Ettun, showcasing a selection of sculptures, photographs and video from a recent series entitled Performing Stillness. Investigating sculpture and performance’s dual relationship to movement and stillness, temporality and permanence, the works exhibited explore the inversion of these mediums’ capabilities, questioning how sculpture and performance can switch roles and stimulate a physical reaction or sensation within the viewer.

Brightest Young Things on DC’s vibrant art scene
"...Beneath the behemoth cultural importers of the Smithsonians, the Hirshorn and the National Portrait Gallery, however, a community of collaborative and resourceful artists are redefining DC’s cultural landscape.
It has never been a better time to be young and creative in the district, as a kinetic art scene comprised of collectives and community-focused art is simmering with a building momentum and a magnetic authenticity."
