Jati Lindsay's SCENE (at)NIGHT: Places, Performances and Personalities

In Jati Lindsay's Scene, the Washington area photographer documents several years worth of performances, architecture and lifestyles of the then, late twenty -something hip-hop / soul generation. Featured are images from Bohemian Caverns, Bar Nun, Republic Gardens, DC Nine and Black Cat. Rare images of local and national music personalities such as: W. Ellington
Felton, Raheem DeVaughn, Eric Roberson, J'Davey, Esthero, Saul Williams and others are presented and celebrated.

Adult Playground: Strip Club Stories in Words and Pictures

A deeper investigation into the nightlife theme is uncovered by the photos of Steven Cummings in Adult Playground. Steven's controversial images take him into a popular Washington strip club to document the everyday workings of the average stripper. These tasteful, yet risquÈ images are presented as art, in context with an interview by the artist telling his deepest and darkest stories of experiences visiting these public yet, very private venues. On display are a total of 8 large format Silver Gelatin Print black and white images and video interviews.

Music by DJ's Stylus and Jahsonic (featured in the exhibition)

Is it safe to assume this opening is happening on Friday night (the 16th), or will it be the night before?

Sounds like Friday to me.

The image on the front page of Dissident Display's website does list the opening event as taking place this Friday night. Just wanted to make sure, as some galleries do their openings the night before the exhibition officially opens.
