Is Liberty Losing Ground in America?
featuring
David K. Shipler
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize
Author, The Rights of the People(Knopf, 2011)
and
Susan N. Herman
President of the American Civil Liberties UnionAuthor, Taking Liberties(Oxford University Press, 2011)
with comments by
Paul Rosenzweig
Visiting Fellow, The Heritage Foundation
moderated by
Tim Lynch
Director, Project on Criminal Justice, Cato Institute
America is widely known as the land of the free, but is it also true that liberty has been yielding
ground to government power? Two recent books maintain that civil liberties have dramatically
eroded here in recent years. ACLU president Susan Herman argues that our constitutional
system of checks and balances is breaking down because of exaggerated claims of
presidential power in our war against al Qaeda terrorists. That shift in power has made it
difficult for the courts to fully examine whether certain policies are constitutional. Pulitzer Prize-
winning author David Shipler does not dispute the erosion of liberty since the 9/11 attacks, but
he says the Bill of Rights has also deteriorated because of the war on drugs. His book relates
numerous stories of searches without warrants, punishments without due process, and other
unreasonable procedures. In criminal justice as in counterterrorism, Shipler argues, the
executive branch has grabbed immense power and distorted the process of determining guilt
or innocence. Join us for a discussion of these legal trends and what can be done to correctthem.

It is often asserted that taxpayer support for higher education is dwindling, endangering thenations economic future and forcing higher tuition prices. In reality that is far from the truth.
Almost any way you slice it the taxpayer burden for Americas ivory tower has been on the rise,
while the returns on investment have been at best indeterminate and at worst significantly
negative. Please join us for this important discussion of why the federal role in higher
education needs to be seriously reexamined.

federal, state, and local levels. Among the questions to be addressed are
What expanded role can, or should, community colleges and workforce investment boards play toupgrade the skills of the nations workforce?

transnationalists realize that their goal can only be achieved through Americas voluntary submission to global
legal authority, presented to the American people in Orwellian fashion as leadership and engagement.
In Sovereignty or Submission, John Fonte reveals how this troubling and fast-rising movement aims to subordinate
American sovereignty. The global governance movement does not seek legitimacy in democracy, but rather in its
own partisan interpretation of human rights. Globalists argue that the U.S. Constitution must conform to evolvingnorms of international law. While this idea may seem utopian, the efforts to implement it constitute a real threat
to American democracy. The conflict between global governance and democratic sovereignty promises to be at the
heart of world politics as far into the future as the eye can see.

Fotoweek DC: Mark and Master
As a challenge to the famous quote: "Those who can't do,
teach"
Studio Gallery has invited professors from the
photography departments of several metro DC
universities. We asked for their very best work and we got
it. The exhibition runs from November 2nd through
November 19th. "The Professors" is a varied exhibition
with no theme, and almost no restrictions. The work
varies in size, color (or lack of color), aesthetic, and
theme. The show also features three of Studio Gallery'svery own members: Iwan Bagus, Peter Karp, and Veronica
Szalus. Iwan Bagus (a professor of photography himself)
focuses on wildly mysterious black and white
photographs. Peter Karp specializes in heavy contrast.
Veronica Szalus is an installation artist and an abstract
photographer.

Because of the ongoing construction in our building expansion, this Cato Institute Book Forum will be held
at
Mount Vernon Place
Undercroft Auditorium
900 Massachusetts Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20001
Featuring Paul R. Pillar, Director of Graduate Studies, Center for Peace and Security Studies, GeorgetownUniversity, Author, Intelligence and U.S. Foreign Policy (Columbia, 2011); and Joshua Rovner, Associate
Professor, Strategy and Policy, U.S. Naval War College, Author, Fixing the Facts: National Security and the
Politics of Intelligence (Cornell, 2011); with comments by Mark Lowenthal, President and CEO, The
Intelligence and Security Academy, Former Assistant Director of Central Intelligence for Analysis andProduction; moderated by Christopher Preble, Vice President, Defense and Foreign Policy Studies, Cato
Institute.
At the heart of recent national security controversies, including 9/11 and the war in Iraq, lies the troubled
relationship between intelligence and policy. Two timely new books shine a spotlight on the problem. In Fixingthe Facts, Joshua Rovner chronicles major episodes in the history of American foreign policy that have beenclosely tied to the manipulation of intelligence estimates and considers how these have affected military
strategy, and the conduct of foreign policy. In Intelligence and U.S. Foreign Policy, Paul R. Pillar challenges the
belief that intelligence drives major national security decisions, and he casts doubt on fixes intended to preventfuture failures. He believes such efforts often waste critical resources and divert attention away from more
sensible reforms. Please join the authors as they discuss their books, with comments by intelligence veteran and
scholar Mark Lowenthal.

David A. Mordini: dis-member
November 4-23, 2011
In this digital era, much of what is most important to us exists only as bits and bytes.
Modern technology can inspire a false sense of connectedness that alienates us from the
physical world and its interactions. As meticulously created objects, Mordini's fiberboard
sculptures are the organic antithesis to this digital paradigm. With dis-member, aninstallation of fragmented body parts and distorted appendages, Mordini explores themes
of disconnectedness, social hierarchies, and alienation.

Min Enghauser began making photographs as a child; exploring, learning and becoming aware
through photography. For Enghauser, photographs, and the act of making them are glimpses of
timeless spirits, of pure and unbiased realities of nature and time. Enghauser's exhibitDesert
Dwellare all images from the Anza-Borrego Desert where she found that there is a coming
together of the essence of the inhabitants and the spirit of place. Plant with rock, rock with sky,
sky with mountain. These inhabitants speak to each other without words and at their core is
the spirit of the other. Enghauser's photographs are the instruments through which she
discovers and uncovers the truth of this slowly changing landscape of unity, cohesion, beauty,
mystery and fate.

Project 2011: Face to Face artists will discuss their residency and give a personal tour of their studio space andthe installations they created for Artisphere.
Artisphere hosts an international artist exchange with Arlington's sister city Aachen, Germany for the second half
of a cultural exchange. For ten days, visiting artists from Germany will work together with Arlington-area artists to
create a site-specific installation within Artisphere. Their work spaces will be open to the public and will serve as a
visual documentation of the exchange. The first part of the exchange took place in April 2011 when Arlington
artists spent ten days in Aachen, Germany. The artists collaborated on site-specific installations in the Aula
Carolina, a 17th-century monastery that now serves as a cultural center in the city. The work they created was on
view at Aula Carolina for the week of the exchange, and has since traveled to other cities in Belgium and the
Netherlands. The goals of the exchange are for artists to work collaboratively to create site-specific installations, to
explore the differences and similarities in the artists situations, and to provide insight into cultural work of the
two countries.

Sweet Tides, oil on canvas, 48 x 48
Alison Hall Cooley's work captures the rhythm and the transience of the natural world.She focuses on the memory of spaces in her work, using color to masterful effect in all
that she portrays. By incorporating color fields, shooting and falling lines, andetchings, which overlap and move, she creates compositions suggestive of coastal
landscapes. The dislocation of her interweaving values and color planes are steadied
by the navigation of her deliberate lines. Cooley, who has described herself as an artistwho has "a deep relationship with the paint," uses knives, spatulas and even her hands
in this tactile relationship. Cooley's most recent works explore the manner in which
natural elements transform man-made structures, revealing the beauty and mystery ofremembered spaces.
Over the past ten years, Alison Hall Cooley has exhibited in Nantucket (annual soloshows), Washington DC, Richmond, VA, and Lenox, MA. Her work is included in
over one hundred private collections, with a particularly strong support base inNantucket, where she currently resides, and the Washington DC area, where she grew
up.
Cooley studied at Sarah Lawrence College and continued her education at the
Corcoran School of Art in Washington, DC. She is the winner of several awards,
including the Charles C. McDougall Award for Promising New Artist. She has been
featured in numerous publications, including Nantucket Living, The Georgetowner
and the Nantucket Independent, and has been recognized by the Artists Association ofNantucket for her work.
Sweet Tides is on view at Thos. Moser's DC Showroom through December 31,2011.

This study day and concert celebrate the music and life of Giovanni Battista Pergolesi (1710-
36), a figure of considerable importance in 18th-century music and culture. The brief life and
compositions of Pergolesi have remained of significant interest to scholars, performers, and
music audiences.
Beginning with an international panel of scholars on Friday afternoon at Georgetown
University's Lauinger Library, in the Murray Conference Room, LAUINGER LIBRARY ), the study
day will explore recent research about the life, works, operatic milieu of the composer in
coordination with the 300th anniversary of his birth and celebrations initiated by the
Fondazione Pergolesi in 2010. The Saturday concert will feature Pergolesi's Confitebor tibi,
Domine for Soprano, chorus and chamber ensemble and the Stabat mater for two sopranos and
string ensemble.

Morton Fine Art (MFA) is pleased to present (Re)calling & (Re)telling, a solo exhibition of
photographs by artist Kesha Bruce in conjunction with Fotoweek DC 2011.
About (Re)calling & (Re)telling:
History and Meaning: When is a Story More Than Just a Story?
A good story allows us to make sense of the world by helping us to define who we are and
understand our place in it. In her Fotoweek DC exhibition, titled (Re)calling and (Re)telling,
artist Kesha Bruce offers viewers a contemporary entryway to the rich tradition of
storytelling in art through the use of both photography and collage.
For the past several years, Kesha Bruce has created work using an old collection of
photographs taken by her grandfather during his years as a soldier during the Korean War.
In addition to the many photographs of young African American soldiers going about their
daily routines, the collection also included snapshots and informal family portraits taken
upon his return home to Des Moines, Iowa. Fascinated by the people and places in eachphotograph, these images soon became the basis for two complete bodies of work.
The narratives Bruce recreates in (Re)calling and (Re)telling, are composed of a mysterious
mix of elements culled from the intimate terrain of memory, nostalgia, and the mundane
remnants of daily life.
Also featured at Morton Fine Art is her latest series The Story, comprised of small, intimate
mixed media works on paper which render character and place through the use ofminimalist texts, each work relating to the next like non-linear chapters of a novel that
refuse to settle into a comfortable beginning, middle, and end.
About Kesha BRUCE (France, b. USA):
Born and raised in Iowa, Bruce studied painting at the University of Iowa before going on to
earn her MFA in Painting from Hunter College in New York City. She has received awards
from the New York Foundation for the Arts, The Vermont Studio Center, and The Puffin
Foundation. Her photographic work from (Re)calling & (Re)telling was awarded the EnFoco
New Works Photography prize and was included in the traveling exhibition DoubleExposure: African Americans Before and Behind the Camera.

Elena Volkova:
"In Between"
(November 5-December 3)
Opening Reception
Saturday, November 5, 7:00-9:00 p.m.
Hamiltonian Gallery
1353 U Street NW
Washington, DC 20009
Hamiltonian Gallery is pleased to announce the In
Between, a solo exhibition by Hamiltonian Fellow Elena
Volkova. In her newest series, Volkova explores drawing
as a process of perception by pushing the conceptual
boundaries of the medium off of the paper, and into the
realm of space itself.
Elena Volkova presents a series of graphite drawings in
which the subject matter is light. Seemingly fundamental,her drawings of folded paper and shadows on walls using
a subtle value range are indicative of a systematic
process-oriented approach to drawing, yet the result
speaks more about the space around the actual drawn
object. By bringing attention to the shadows and highlights
that constitute an image, Volkova makes the viewer an
active participant of the installation, where the act of
looking, perceiving and comparing is emphasized.
By denoting dynamic two-dimensional surfaces defined by
light and shadow, Volkova has investigated the spatial
limits of drawing. The geometric forms in her drawings

Volkova explains, "In this body of work, I would like to bring
the viewer's attention to the discrepancy between art and
reality. Employing the ideas of trompe-l'oil, I am interested

Elena Volkova's drawings implement the ordinary and
commonplace, which instantly capacitates the viewer to
move beyond the familiar neutrality of a piece of paper
and delve into its potential.
