"White Noise" by Emmanuel Van der Auwera

6:00 pm - 8:00 pm

214 Projects, 150 Manufacturing Street, Suite 214

As part of an expanding outreach initiative, Dallas Art Fair launched 214 Projects in March 2019. An exhibition and project space at River Bend in the Design District, this additional venue allows Dallas Art Fair exhibitors to present more ambitious gallery installations and special projects on a year-round basis outside of their typical presence during the second week of April.

For their inaugural exhibition, 214 Projects presents “White Noise,” Belgian artist Emmanuel Van der Auwera‘s first solo exhibition in the United States. This project is realized with the full support of Harlan Levey Projects of Brussels, Belgium, who has been an exhibitor with the Dallas Art Fair since 2015.

In 2018, Emmanuel’s work was acquired by KANAL Centre - Pompidou (Brussels, Belgium), Mu.ZEE (Ostend, Belgium) and the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art (Eugene, OR, USA), and this year the Dallas Museum of Art finalized its acquisition of the large-scale sculpture “Study for VideoSculpture XIV.” His work has recently been featured in exhibitions at WIELS (Brussels, Belgium), The Centre Pompidou (Paris, France), Palais de Tokyo (Paris, France), Centro per l’Arte Contemporanea Luigi Pecci (Prato, Italy), Ars Electronica (Linz, Austria), Casino Luxembourg - Forum d'art contemporain (Luxembourg City, Luxembourg), and Mu.ZEE (Ostend, Belgium), among others.

Panel: Three Approaches Regarding Abstraction: Rosson Crow, Carrie Moyer and Clare Woods moderated by Anna Katherine Brodbeck

10:30 am - 11:30 am

Nasher Sculpture Center, 2001 Flora Street, Dallas, 75201

Carrie Moyer employs the language of mid-20th Century Abstraction infused with a bold palette and crisp layering of shapes and grounds. By using techniques such as collage and overlay, Moyer’s experience as a graphic designer pulls Modernist source material and techniques to create altogether new, vivid compositions of dynamic proportions. Another aspect of Moyer’s practice is Dyke Action Machine (DAM!), the radical, queer activist project which the artist co-founded in 1991 with photographer Sue Schaffner.

The paintings of Clare Woods map out forms sculpturally in a quick and gestural manner, often rendering her subjects as fluidly as they are laid about her aluminum panels. While initially concerned with landscape as subject, her preoccupation has turned to the human body in recent years. Utilizing found photos and an offbeat, sometimes anemic palette, Woods eerily distorts the familiar while luring us further into the folds and angles of our corporeal selves.

Rosson Crow delves deep into borrowed imagery and nostalgia-laden subjects to create lush and graphic overlays of punchy hues and patterns. Crow mixes both high and low cultural references in a mash-up of an epic scale, often resulting in mind-bending murals of dizzy intoxication. Whether creating an enveloping cluster of postcard cacti or a congested interior of patterns and color, Crow pushes the all-over composition to the hilt.

Moderated by Katherine Brodbeck, The Hoffman Family Senior Curator of Contemporary Art at Dallas Museum of Art.

Carrie Moyer @ One Night Only

7:00 pm - 12:00 am

For her One Night Only celebration, Moyer's new work continues to expand upon her sensual and cerebral visual language. Saturated hues, enchanted surfaces and the overt aesthetic beauty of Carrie’s paintings act as a subversive entry point to her broader task of “queering” the history of American Abstraction.

Moyer will also debut a site specific ephemeral installation. The work will offer friends a take away piece by the artist, echoing the free pamphlets dispersed by Dyke Action Machine (DAM!), the radical, queer activist project which Moyer co-founded. This is the artist’s first solo show in Texas. Carrie Moyer will be in attendance.

One Night Only is a national curatorial project by artist Arthur Peña. Previous One Night Only celebrations include Nicole Eisenman (NY) and Jay Stuckey (LA). One Night Only currently resides in a historic, private residence in Dallas, TX. One Night Only is an inclusive endeavor during divisive times.

Artist talk: Tony Matelli

10:30 am - 11:30 am

Nasher Sculpture Center, 2001 Flora Street, Dallas, 75201

Nasher Sculpture Center, 2001 Flora Street, Dallas, 75201

American sculptor Tony Matelli unsettled tourists when his nearly-nude, eerily lifelike Sleepwalker was installed on the repurposed railroad of New York City’s High Line in 2016. Eyes closed, mouth agape, and arms reaching forward, the man’s skin appeared to be real flesh rather than its actuality—painted bronze. Matelli uses materials and vernacular associated with antiquity, blended with the contemporary, to create uncannily realistic sculptures that are hard to pinpoint in time. Faux bronze fruit, hot dog weiners, crab legs, and sliced bread, each painted with impeccable detail, casually rest upon figurative concrete sculptures and busts.

For Dallas Art Month and the Dallas Art Fair, his sculptures will be on view throughout The Joule’s common areas. To celebrate, he will present a talk delving into his process.

360 Speaker Series: Panel Discussion

2:00 pm - 3:00 pm

Nasher Sculpture Center, 2001 Flora Street, Dallas, 75201

Leveling the Playing Field: What Pro Sports Can Offer the Gallery System

At a time when the art market is flooded with extreme wealth, how can small and mid-level galleries thrive alongside their blue-chip peers? A panel of market insiders will discuss the merits of the systems designed to encourage fair play between sports franchises and consider solutions for sustaining galleries, artists and collectors at every level.

Panelists include:

William Powhida, Artist

Magdalena Sawon, Owner/Director Postmasters Gallery

Moderator: Tim Schneider, art business reporter for artnet News and founder of the Gray Market

Open to the public. Free with admission. Free for Members. Free for Students with ID. Complimentary wine reception with RSVP.

Panel Discussion sponsored by Foley Gardere

4:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Beck Imaginarium, 1807 Ross Avenue, Dallas, 75201

Cultural Reckoning: An Exploration of Recent Social Movements and Their Impacts on the Art World

Please join Foley Gardere for a cocktail reception, followed by a panel discussion on how institutions, galleries, artists, and collectors are responding to recent social and cultural critiques. Growing awareness of the lack of representation of women and artists of color is forcing the art world to question its own structural biases and forms of discrimination. According to a joint investigation by In Other Words and artnet News, less than 3% of museum acquisitions over the past decade have been of work by African American artists, and, according to the National Museum of Women in the Arts, just 5% of artwork featured in major U.S. museums is made by women, while only 25-35% of women artists have gallery representation. This panel will address institutional accountability and the recognition of careers that have been overlooked, tackling questions such as: what are the cultural implications of museums, art fairs and galleries targeting specific quotas of representation for African American and women artists? To what extent are the current cultural upwellings cyclical, and are we on a collective path towards balanced exhibitions going forward? What is an effective long-term strategy for achieving race and gender equity in the art world?
