Ft. Worth Community Arts Center

Stopped by the Ft. Worth Community Arts Center today to catch Janet Chaffee's and Benito Huerta's collaborative efforts. My favorite were the sculptural pieces in the form of their home and the house numbers.

Dallas Contemporary

I was blown away by the Dallas Contemporary. I was late to see this space - a huge raw industrial space, unbelievable - maybe my new favorite place for seeing art.

Janet Chaffee & Benito Huerta

The exhibition will explore the physical and psychological boundaries of the living and working spaces of the two artists. They will utilize personal visual vocabulary and intertwine it with architectural materials and plans that are integral to their residencies and working studios. The majority of the new work created for this exhibition will be the first time the artists, who are married to each other, will have worked collaboratively.

Plush Gallery is reopening with a new space in the Dallas Design District!

Jeff Parrott

The debut exhibition of the new Plush Gallery will be "Joyride", a group show featuring new and established artists, and setting the tone for the gallery's new presence.

Artists include:
Brandon Behning (Santa Fe), member of the seminal Meow Wolf collective, and maker of elemental sculpture and painting.

Dylan Hollingsworth (Dallas), talented documentary and situational photographer, whose camera of choice is the Hasselblad.

Peter Ligon (Dallas), known for his idiosyncratic landscapes in oil and pen and ink.

Harlan Lovestone (Detroit), expressionist paintings on unstretched tarps reflect on African American experience.

Robert Moore (Dallas), painter and installation artist whose work combines shamanistic and narrative overtones.

Jeff Parrott (Chicago), a graduate student at the Art Institute of Chicago, and graduate of Texas A&M Commerce; his paintings render a compressed space of surreal and subconcious imaginings.

Robert Reedy (Dallas), printmaker/collage artist and experimental electronic musician.

Mark Todd (Los Angeles), reknowned illustrator whose work is published in GQ, Business Week, The New York Times and many others, showing his remixed comic book panels.

PERFORMANCE

Mark Williams @ SMU

Stopped by SMU on Friday 10/8/10 to see Recent Paintings by Mark Williams in the Pollock Gallery and Small Drawings & Studio Notebooks in the Mildred Hawn Gallery. I became interested in Mark Willams art when I first saw it @ Barry Whistler Gallery in 2007 "Recent Paintings: Opportune Planes" exhibition.

These 2 exhibitions left me wanting to see more.

Thank you Mark for allowing us to peek inside your notebooks.
