Join us for the Opening Reception of Contemplated Commotion, a captivating exhibition featuring the talented artist, Madeline Rothman. This highly anticipated event will take place at the prestigious District Clay Center in Washington, DC on Friday, October 6th at 6 PM. The exhibition will run from October 6th to November 5th, 2023. 

Contemplated Commotion is an introspective body of work that delves into the complex struggles of identity. Rothman's ceramic objects are thoughtfully categorized into themes of personality traits, reflecting her own inner battles and aspirations. By exploring the concept of self-labeling and the overlap of identities, Rothman challenges conventional notions of identity formation. 

The exhibition seamlessly blends elements of calmness and chaos, organization and movement. The domestic space represents the calm and organized traits, while the abstract form embodies chaos and constant change. Rothman skillfully merges these contrasting ideas, creating gray areas that blur the boundaries between familiar and unknown. The viewer is encouraged to interpret and connect with the pieces based on their own unique perspectives and experiences. 

Madeline Rothman, also known as Maddie Mae, is a multi-talented artist hailing from Pittsburgh. She graduated from the Tyler School of Art at Temple University with a BFA in Ceramics in 2018. With a passion for both ceramics and photography, Rothman has honed her skills through various experiences, including working as a production artist and a studio assistant. Currently based in Philadelphia, she continues to create captivating artwork in her personal studio while sharing her knowledge through teaching handbuilding classes. 

Don't miss the opportunity to immerse yourself in the thought-provoking world of Contemplated Commotion and experience the artistic brilliance of Madeline Rothman. Admission to the opening reception is free, so mark your calendars and witness the convergence of identity and art at the District Clay Center in Washington, DC.

Lots of iconic buildings and landmarks across both sides of the street. You can visit the place in the 100 US$ bill as well, like the final image below.

A great piece of US history. You can easily spend a very informative afternoon roaming its halls and learning more about the declaration of independence.

Philadelphia was once the capital of the United States, so there is plenty of history, museums, monuments, and sites around the city. The Philadelphia Museum of Art boasts a nice array of exhibits. I visited on a Friday evening after work because museum admission is free Friday evenings (pay what you wish). I did pay for parking at their garage, which was only $5.

I feel that the attractions in downtown Philadelphia are really excellent. The historic sites near the Liberty Bell are under the unified management of National Park. Opposite the Liberty Bell is a large visitor center where you can consult Philadelphia&#39;s travel guide. The staff and volunteers here are also very enthusiastic to help give travel advice and answer consultation questions. There is also a small souvenir shop here, where you can buy refrigerator magnets, notebooks, postcards and other related Philadelphia souvenirs.

There are also exhibition explanations in the visitor center. Although it is relatively miniature compared to the museum, it still does not affect the number of tourists here. If you come by car, there is a parking lot in the basement of the Independence Hall Visitor Center for everyone to park. Although parking in the city center of Philadelphia is not very convenient and parking spaces are not easy to find, it is recommended that everyone park in the underground parking lot of the visitor center. If you come during the peak season, you need to apply for the ticket to the Independence Hall at the visitor center first, but I don&rsquo;t know if it is because of the epidemic. You don&rsquo;t need to take a ticket when you come, you can go directly to visit.
