Replay – Time Machine by Loris Greaud at CentralTrak — Nov. 5, 7 p.m. 800 Exposition Ave. Dallas, TX 75226.
In case you need to be reminded, the last time French artist Loris Greaud came through town, he had his exhibition at the Dallas Contemporary trashed by a troupe of pretend protesters/miscreants, and then trolled the Dallas Observer‘s Lauren Smart after she wrote not nice things about his stunt. That set a small art world brush fire that, in hindsight, was rather quickly contained. Now Greaud is back for what is being presented as the next chapter of his Dallas Contemporary project. The event at CentralTrak will be live streaming on the web, and you can get a taste for what might be in store by watching this video.
Andrea Rosenberg: New Drawings at Barry Whistler Gallery — Nov. 7, 5:30-8 p.m. 2909-B Canton St. Dallas, TX 75226.
The unfinished forms of flowers offer Andrea Rosenberg a recurring motif that organizes her interest in the evocative power gesture and mark making. Often monochromatic, or splattered with color, the simplicity of her drawings belies a subtle working of materials — from gesso to crayon, oil stick to watercolors — that amplify quietude and emphasize the ephemeral, faulty powers of art and beauty.
Lorem Ipsum at Pollock Gallery — Nov. 7, 6-8 p.m. 3140 Dyer St. Dallas, TX 75205.
While I’m somewhat suspect of an exhibition that bills itself as a game played by curators attempting to “creating a running commentary about what it is to be a curator at this point in time” — is there a duller problem in contemporary art than the ongoing fretting and fixation on the power of the curator? — organizers of this exhibition at SMU’s Pollock Gallery have assembled a solid cross section of artists active locally right now. And so whether the curatorial antics are enlightening or distracting, the exhibition will be a curious one to follow through its many stages
John Wilcox: Diptychs and Polyptychs at The Wilcox Space — Nov. 7, 6-8 p.m. 824 Exposition Ave. no. 9 Dallas, TX 75226.
Dallas best unknown gallery may be the tiny Wilcox Space, the former studio and apartment of the late-John Wilcox that has been preserved in tribute of the artist, offering regular retrospective exhibitions of his work. Often inviting area curators to dive through Wilcox’s oeuvre and re-present his work in a new context, for this installation, Sarah Koszlowski, Assistant Director of the. Edith O’Donnell Institute of Art History, and Benjamin Lima, Assistant Professor Art and Art History at University of Texas at Arlington, have focused in on Wilcox’s use of diptychs and polyptychs as a recurring method for organizing artist explorations across a broader range of materials and subjects.
