Roadtrip to Houston

Visiting CentralTrak artists Larissa (Lara) Aharoni & Raul Cordero had never been to Houston and wanted to see the Rothko Chapel, so off we went! Before we hit the Menil Collection, we made stops at Diverseworks, the Isabella Court galleries and perhaps most importantly, Lara finally got some Barbeque at Goode Company!

…and then on the NASA and the Johnson Space Center, right?!?

Hilly Plugs Method of Loci on ATW

Check out a fun episode of Art This Week and an interview I did with curator Rebecca Lawton at the Amon Carter Museum in Fort Worth!

I must say, seeing Fumée d’Ambre Gris in person is pretty stunning. Check out the four Sargeant works on display now through June 17th.

BUT not before you visit Deborah Aschheim: Method of Loci here at CentralTrak, running through April 14th.

CircleWerk Completes Phase One

CentralTrak visiting artist, Paul Kloss, returns to Brooklyn today, after joining the production team/artistic collaboration CircleWerk. An enormously talented director of photography, his contributions were invaluable. Okay CircleWerkers, on to Phase Two…!

La Reunion Field Trip

Catherine Horsey hosted the CentralTrak crew on a tour of the La Reunion artists’ residency grounds today. It’s on 30 some-odd acres of really varied geography: woodlands, creeks, prairie, etc. in Oak Cliff (just South of Dallas). We’re now all given the task of generating ideas for collaborations between the two programs and our artists. Excitement is brewing – the place is magical! Thanks for the tour Catherine!

Slik Stockings Creates a “Dash Snow”

Danielle Georgiou & Hilly Holsonback perform as Slik Stockings in BRIDGED, an exhibition of area MFA candidates organized by Stephen Lapthisophon. Featuring photography by fellow UT Dallas graduate student, Emily Loving, the artists covered a room in Xerox copies of Loving’s photographs of Georgiou and Holsonback. Throughout Friday evening, Slik Stockings took to destroying the intricate design.

Curious, check out the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5oYHa-nY0Q&feature=youtu.be

Calatrava Bridge Opening/Weekend of Art

This weekend is the official opening of the Calatrava Bridge, and the population of CentralTrak unofficially attended the crisp, wind-blown party last night. Artists-in-residents (since only yesterday) Larissa Aharoni (Israel/Germany) and Deborah Aschheim (Los Angeles) got their first close-up look at the bridge AND Dallas high society – Larissa’s thinking about going blond now…. What a nice welcome for our newest artists! Thanks Dallas, for planning that event around their arrivals!!!

As part of the weekend’s events, Danielle Georgiou & Hilly Holsonback perform as Slik Stockings in an exhibition of area MFA candidates organized by Stephen Lapthisophon. The show is installed in a very rough, post-industrial warehouse a few blocks from the bridge, and it’s a brilliant show. Seriously, see it if you can!
