A former New York Times staff photographer and a two-time nominee for Pulitzer Prizes, Susana Raab is now emerging as one of the more distinctive new artists in fine art photography.  Based in Washington, D.C., Raab now spends much of her time criss-crossing the land with her cameras, often dropping in as a stranger in Small Town America.  With a frequency that seems almost uncanny, there she regularly has encounters with characters who could people the songbooks of Lyle Lovett and Loudon Wainwright III, among them "The Ronald McDonald's Doesn't Want You to Know About" and a slew of Elvis, Superman and Col. Sanders wannabes. Exhibition July 24 through August 29. Friday: 10am to 9pm; Saturday: 10am to 4pm

Jump Cut Pop explores the strategies of six artists who juxtapose images drawn from popular culture with text and/or seemingly unrelated popular images. The artists draw from a confluence of sources, exerting a degree of compositional freedom with little conscious regard for historical continuity or visual hierarchy. The juxtapositions often suggest that images are interesting unto themselves, divorced from their inherent meaning by their proximity to other completely unrelated images. Appropriated photos and comics are among the sources most favored by this group. Exhibition through October 4. Friday:  10am to 9pm; Saturday:  10am to 4:30pm
