Pinky Diablo at Rising

Stacey and I visited the Rising Art Gallery near downtown Dallas to attend Pinky Diablo's latest Performance.

Pinky Diablo comes to RISING

Pinky will be painting watercolors at Rising Gallery in Dallas from 5-8PM on Thursday, July 23. Come by and see what kind of mess he's made of this otherwise clean gallery space. He will be selling his infamous skeleton watercolors as well as his now famous silver skull spoons. Here's the address:Rising Gallery4631 Insurance StDallas TX(Very close to the intersection of Knox and Central Expressway)

DMA Sculpture Garden

Dallas Museum of Art

Visited the Dallas Museum of Art today.

This is an image from Pipilotti Rist's video "I Couldn’t Agree With You More" in the "Private Universes" exhibition. The "Private Universes" exhibition was expansive and worth a visit to the DMA. I didn't make too many friends with the Security Guards today by carring my camera around - oh well. There are some stand out pieces such as Mona Hatoum's "Nature morte aux grenades", Fred Sandback’s yarn installation Broadway Boogie Woogie (Sculptural Study, Twenty-two Part Vertical Construction) (1991–2006)and portraits by Marlene Dumas and Johannes Kahrs.

In the Americas galleries upstairs found this wonderful painting by Philip Evergood titled "Portrait of My Mother".

Also visited "Willie Doherty: Requisite Distance". I am not sure what the fuss is about maybe someone could explain.

Wilco

Okay, so this is not visual art but this group has been true to their art since Jeff Tweedy formed Wilco.
