Back in April, Attman’s Deli announced that they had closed their Cabin John location and were planning to move into a new spot, somewhere nearby. At the time of the announcement, no official location was disclosed.
There have been rumors that they might potentially move into Park Potomac, in the spot previously occupied by Zoe’s kitchen. Today, we heard that there appeared to be people loading furniture and equipment from an Attman’s truck into that space.
Glenstone Museum in Potomac has reopened as an outdoor-only experience on Thursday-Sunday, 10 a.m. – 5 p.m.
Visitors will be allowed in groups no larger than 5 at a time, and each group is scheduled to arrive at least 15 minutes apart. Masks are required, and different groups must remain 6 feet apart.
A Potomac family heard a loud bang and subsequent pop late last night before smelling smoke and seeing it come out of the mud room next to their garage.
Even though Glenstone is currently closed, the Potomac art museum has created ways to allow the community to visit from home. They are hosting facebook live discussions with their Guides, are sharing photos of current works, and are transforming some of their exhibits so that viewers at home can share in the experience. One of their interactive exhibits is an installation by artist Felix Gonzalez-Torres, which consists of a pile of fortune cookies assembled in the corner of the museum. Glenstone explains what the traditional in-person experience would look like and how they have changed the process so folks at home can participate.
“In ordinary days, visitors would be able to take a cookie for themselves, read their fortune, and contemplate Gonzalez-Torres’ work and the questions it raises: how has this moment shifted our perceptions of public space? What does this work mean if you cannot be physically near it to take a cookie? How can we make and experience art across physical and digital boundaries?
