Transformer is still shaking up the DC art scene.
, Transformer was inspired by local punk venues. Back then, Reis was frustrated to see so many artists leaving for other cities. “Selfishly, I saw a lot of friends moving away,” she says, so Reis hoped to build a hub for artists with an adventurous spirit. “There was a fearless, naive energy,” Reis recalls of those early days. . “It was so passion-fueled. Every moment was exciting.” Transformer has now put on more than 500 exhibitions and programs.
These days, Reis splits time between DC and Asbury Park, New Jersey, where she runs the performance series Siren Arts. But Transformer is still going strong—and looking forward. Plans include a book on its first 20 years and a retrospective at the Corcoran School of the Arts & Design in November. And there will be lots more art, of course: Reis intends to keep going as long as Transformer is having an impact. The community it’s built, she says, “still feels vital and exciting.
