Ambassador to the Arts
As a Dallas native, I am extremely proud of our vibrant north Texas arts scene. From the Nasher Sculpture Center, Crow Collection, and Dallas Museum of Art downtown, to the Dallas Symphony, Dallas Opera, and Dallas Theater Center in the Arts District, to the Dallas Children’s Theater and Theatre Three in the Quadrangle, to WaterTower Theatre in Addison, and Lyric Stage in Irving, Dallas County is home to some of the greatest art and artistic expression in the nation. Keep this Guide for the Arts close at hand as you plan your activities this year. I encourage you to take a child with you to the theater, concerts, and dance events. Your invitation might begin a lifetime of arts enjoyment and perhaps even inspire the next Bernstein, Rodgers, Surls, or Balanchine to reach for their dreams. I look forward to seeing you at a Lyric Stage performance this season.

BLACK SHEEP FEMINISM: THE ART OF SEXUAL POLITICS JANUARY 16 – MARCH 18, 2016 IT IS SOMETIMES assumed that feminist art – the art made in the heyday of feminism’s second wave in the 1960s and ’70s – was monolithic. Nothing could be further from the truth. While there was general agreement about the existence of gender disparities, artists, like activists, differed Joan Semmel, Centered, 2002. © 2015 Joan widely in how they Semmel/Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York, addressed them. Just Courtesy of Alexander Gray Associates, New York as there were and are many feminisms, there were and are many branches of feminist art. Even today, one of the most fractious issues within feminist political and artistic circles is the question of pornography and the politics of erotic representation. While much feminist art has been integrated into mainstream art history, artists who embraced a sex-positive attitude in their work have been systematically excluded from important exhibitions and catalogues devoted to women’s art. This subset – sometimes called “black sheep” feminist artists – were in some cases actively subjected to censure in the ’70s. They are still largely overlooked within the legacy of feminist art as a whole. Artists like Anita Steckel, Betty Tompkins, Joan Semmel, and Cosey Fanni Tutti explored the extreme edges of feminist politics and sexualized iconography; for this reason, their work remains marginalized.

DECEMBER 3, 2015 – JANUARY 31, 2016 Wyly Theatre, Studio Theatre CLARKSTON By SAMUEL D. HUNTER Directed by DAVIS MCCALLUM A WORLD PREMIERE that transforms the Wyly Theatre’s intimate Studio Theatre into a Costco – the heart of the New American West. Steps away from the Lewis and Clark trail, the lives of a fledgling writer and a descendant of William Clark intersect as they stock televisions and cheese puffs. In a story leavened with humor and compassion, these two young men move toward an uncertain and unpredictable future, realizing that sometimes the most important journey you can take is the one between two people.

Johnson’s accidental presidency to his hard-won landslide election one year later. The resident acting companies of Dallas Theater Center and Houston’s Tony Award-winning Alley Theatre join together to create this monumental play, which will be performed in both cities. Robert Schenkkan’s masterful script paints a gripping portrayal of LBJ, civil rights hero, ruthless bully, and perhaps one of our greatest legislative presidents. With a title harkening back to the slogan for his 1964 campaign, All the Way is a searing and enthralling dramatization that explores political gridlock, strong-arm manipulation, and the morality of politics and power.

ANN VERONICA JANSSENS JANUARY 23 – APRIL 17, 2016 KNOWN PRIMARILY AS a light artist, Ann Veronica Janssens is interested in “situations of dazzlement… the persistence of vision, vertigo, saturation, speed, and exhaustion” – how the body responds to certain scientific phenomena and conditions. In her Nasher exhibition, the first solo museum exhibition in the United States for the Brussels-based artist, Janssens will install several sculptural works that allow viewers to encounter shifts in surface, depth, and color, challenging perception and destabilizing their sense of sight and space. SIGHTINGS: MAI-THU PERRET APRIL 9 – JULY 17, 2016 SWISS-BORN MAI-THU Perret has spent the last 16 years making work born from a fictional feminist art commune she created called The Crystal Frontier. Set in New Mexico, the imaginary women of the commune make work that runs the visual gamut, from the painterly to the sculptural.

The ability to generate light is rare among plants and animals that live on land. Exhibition view of Creatures of Light. However, up to 90 percent Photo courtesy of The Perot of animals at depths below 2,300 feet provide the only source of light for the largest habitable space on Earth, the ocean.

EYE OF THE COLLECTOR APRIL 16 – SEPTEMBER 5, 2016 HERE AT THE MUSEUM, every object and specimen tells a story. And in Eye of the Collector, the quirky, crafty, historical, and fashionable objects of nine very different people come together to show that the recollections they have of their prized possessions are at least as valuable as the collections themselves. At the heart of the exhibit are the diverse collections of Randy and Nancy Best, who view these objects as time capsules that provide insights about prehistoric life, ancient civilizations, and more.
