Hamiltonian Artists

Our mission is to build a dynamic community of innovative artists and effective visual arts leaders.

“As a curator and an arts administrator dedicated to supporting artists’ developing careers, I am devastated by this announcement. Artists rely on coverage of their work for a number of reasons—not just to drive audience, but to provide context, historic record, and feedback. Curators, gallerists, collectors, artists, journalists, the art engaged public, all look to local journalism first for discovery. Without local coverage, we lose the opportunity for national and international coverage of the arts. Mark Jenkins made sure that the public had a glimpse into the strong creative communities in the Washington metro area. His weekly column enriched the lives of those who live here and visit and helped so many artists be seen, appreciated, and grow their careers.”- Lily Siegel, Executive Director of Hamiltonian Artists in DC.

Join us tomorrow, Saturday, August 17, from 5–7 pm for Danyela June Brown’s in-person program Untitled (fresh to death) ✨ Limited spots remain. Link in bio to rsvp

What would ‘fresh to death’ give if we canceled respectability politics?

Inspired by sneaker detritus in the DMV, Untitled (fresh to death) is a social practice that considers fresh/clean aesthetics within Black American fashion and sneakerhead culture. Program facilitator Danyela June Brown will invite participants to make their mark on white gallery walls, reflecting on their relationship to freshness and reconsidering the value of “worn” material. Visitors are also encouraged to bring an old pair of shoes for a chance to win a busted sneaker contest.

This interactive public program and performance aims to critique the deathliness of scarcity-based aesthetics while insisting upon the invaluable sincerity of the lived-in. Though it is not required, RSVP is recommended due to limited capacity.

This program was selected from Hamiltonian Artists open call, which invites artists, organizers, and cultural workers to present professional presentations in our U Street gallery space. To learn more about hosting your concept with us, please visit our website.

Experience artist Isabella Whitfield’s closing day performance—in which she will rehydrate, deconstruct, and transform the wet floor signs from her exhibited installation work “How to recall a message.” This pulp will be preserved and incorporated into future, undetermined artworks.

Isabella Whitfield (b. 1998; Centreville, VA) is a multidisciplinary artist based in Virginia, working primarily in sculpture and site-responsive installation. After receiving a Bachelor of Arts in Sculpture and Politics from the University of Virginia, she completed a postgraduate year as an Aunspaugh Art Fellow. Whitfield’s fabrication process adopts repetitive motions, testing physical endurance through mundane performative actions.

By abstracting object materiality, she examines the internal disassociation that arises when intended purpose contradicts actual functionality. Inspired by contemporary artifacts, religious architecture, and commonplace tools, her work is quietly precise, inviting viewers to confront the familiar with a sense of alienation. Whitfield exhibits primarily in the DMV and has been a resident artist with Penland, Anderson Ranch, Ox-Bow, Pyramid Atlantic, and VisArts Richmond. She is currently a Papermaking Associate at Pyramid Atlantic. Whitfield is a 2022–2024 Hamiltonian Artists fellow.

The Studios at Hamiltonian Artists
Featured Artist ✨Katja Toporski

Katja Toporski (b. Frankfurt, Germany) is a jewelry and installation artist based in the Washington, DC-area. She earned her MFA in Studio Art, specializing in jewelry, at Townson University, Townson, MD, and a City & Guilds certificate in jewelry. She also earned her medical degree from the Technical University of Munich, Munich, Germany, and trained and practiced as an anesthesiologist in the UK for nine years.

The craft of metal working was the entry point to her art practice, and she has always been interested in the larger role of adornment in human history and adornment’s relationship to other art practices. For Toporski, both serve as an access point to a non-linear understanding of the world, to the unexplainable, to mind and spirit and their intersection with contemporary life. Creative drive, craft, and nonverbal expression are strong motivating factors behind her work.

08/03/2024

“There’s an uncanny quality to the works of D.C.-based artist Isabella Whitfield, currently displayed in a delicately balanced arrangement at Hamiltonian Artists. Many of the sculptures depict commonplace objects rendered in incongruous materials, often paper. Subtly surprising, her works come across as sleight of hand or pulling one over on the viewer: a paper life vest seems to actually be inflated, and a sea of papercast utility signs in pastel Tupperware hues looks as sturdy as the real thing. Call it pulp fiction.” - Washington City Paper

Featured Artist ✨Jamilla Okubo

Jamilla Okubo (b. Clinton, NC) is an interdisciplinary artist exploring the intricacies of belonging to an American, Kenyan, and Trinidadian identity. Through combining figurative painting, pattern design, and fashion.

Okubo uses the body as both a narrative instrument and primary tool of communication. Her layered experience as a North Carolina–born, Washington, DC-based, daughter of the Diaspora informs her practice, as does her background in fashion and design, which she began exploring at Parsons School of Design where she received her BFA. Okubo’s compositions refer to an emotional language influenced by memories, lived experience, and the desire to stage the figures in meaningful moments, to evoke a sense of nostalgia and intimate recollection of memory. Okubo’s work has grown out of an unparalleled devotion to color, space, the Black figure, and the creation of harmony.

Primarily working with paper and metal, Isabella Whitfield renders safety equipment, tools, and other utilitarian objects. Through her use of color, material, and repetition, the artist alienates individual parts from their original substance, mode of presentation, and broader systems of utility—contradicting the ways in which the objects typically function. In bringing an uncanny look and feel to the familiar, Whitfield destabilizes initial recognition with an undercurrent of incertitude.

The Hamiltonian Artists Fellowship is a two-year program for artists seeking to establish and sustain a professional art career. Each year, Hamiltonian Artists tailors its fellowship program to suit the needs of the cohort. We provide fellows and the broader public invaluable opportunities to better understand the art world at large, and develop a deeper appreciation for contemporary art.

As a fellow, artists experience heightened visibility while gaining opportunities to grow both their artistic practice and professional network through exhibition opportunities, 1-1 mentorship, institutional access, and internal programs. Over the course of the program, each fellow develops a landmark exhibition or gallery activation to be presented in the Hamiltonian Artists Gallery in their second year. During this time, fellows are expected to be proactive in their creative and professional development while engaging with their peers and contributing to the DC area arts ecosystem.

2024 Juror ✨ Joey Enríquez, Artist, designer, and educator

Joey Enríquez is an artist, designer, and educator based in the Washington, DC-area, who uses image-making, sculpture, and community work to unearth historicities of land claim and displacement, as a practice of undoing. They focus on the politics of land, body, occupation, and reclamation of their own Indigenous lineage. Enríquez earned their MFA in Fine Arts from the George Washington University, Washington, DC (2020), and BA in Art–Design from California Lutheran University, Thousand Oaks, CA (2018). As an emerging professional, they’ve been awarded fellowships and residencies at Hamiltonian Artists, Washington, DC (2020–22); the Studios at MASS MoCA (2021), and MoCA Arlington, Arlington, VA (2022–23) and have exhibited at the Kreeger Museum, MoCA Arlington, Hamiltonian Artists, Culture House, and Edge on the Square.

Enríquez’s practice extends beyond fine art into curatorial support for exhibitions, such as dancer Maida Withers’ retrospective LEGACY: 50 Years of Dance on the Edge (2022), and graphic design for the collective Related Tactics for projects, such as with Monument Lab, Philadelphia, PA, and the Museum of Glass, Tacoma, WA. They are currently an adjunct professor at the George Washington University, George Mason University, and American University.

2024 Juror ✨ Luis Vasquez La Roche, Artist and assistant professor

Luis Vasquez La Roche is an artist and educator at George Mason University, Fairfax, VA. Their practice is interested in aspects of the transatlantic slave trade that repeat themselves in varying ways in the present. An essential part of their research is an inquiry regarding material, space, smell, and sounds, and how these sensory experiences become challenging to grasp in historical documents. The work also functions as a way to explore the gaps in historical archives and to fill the intentional void by summoning and collapsing past, present, and future.

Their works have been exhibited, screened, and performed in institutions such as Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions, Los Angeles, CA; A.I.R. Gallery, Brooklyn, NY; the Carr Center, Detroit, MI; Cornell University, Ithaca, NY; Institute for Contemporary Art at Virginia Commonwealth University, Richmond, VA; the Bronx Museum of the Arts, Bronx, NY; Deakin University, Melbourne, Australia; La Vulcanizadora, Cali, Colombia; Alice Yard, Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago; Hervey Bay Regional Gallery, Pialba, Australia; Fresh Milk, Saint George, Barbados, Grimmwelt Kassel, Kassel, Germany; and documenta fifteen, Kassel, Germany.

Their fusion of elements, such as electronic and go-go music and African rhythms, coalesces into organic sounds and textures. In addition to the performance, an artist guided walkthrough will take place. Dawaun’s solo exhibition is his play on the realist tradition. His latest body of work offers an array of quotidian abstractions in sculpture, and trials of look-alike jokes via portraiture.
