This Saturday, March 8, after you've listened to Henry Thaggert, Heather and Tony Podesta, Daniel Levinas, and Philip Barlow talk about their experiences with Collectors Select at the Arlington Arts Center (the talk is from 4:30 to 5:30; be there!)...you might consider marching over to Randall Scott Gallery and catching the opening of Cara Ober's new show, i am who i pretend to be. (Wasn't that a Sinead O'Connor album? Oh, never mind.)

But is this really Cara Ober? Or is it instead some sort of thinly veiled--and thinly justified--conceptual art feint by some other Baltimore artist? Boy, wouldn't that be something?

(Answer: No, it wouldn't.)
