MAD Hatters Since its inception in 1982, the Women’s Council has supported the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden overall and through the creation, development and on-going funding of the world renowned Woman’s Garden. Now, through funding, the garden’s enhancements will continue to draw visitors to city from all over the world.

Twenty-five years! This is a big anniversary for the Women’s Council’s Mad Hatter’s Tea. Sue Ringle, President, tells us this year’s theme is “Adventures in Time”. The committee is praying for a lovely sunny day on April 11th. The reception begins at 10:30. The program, including Best Hat awards, begins at noon, with lunch following. This year’s chairs are Shay Geyer and Maggie Kipp. Serving as Honorary Chair is Patty Dedman Nail. Hundreds attend each year, many from out of state. Most guests are attired in wild and wonderful over-the top hats. The glorious blooming azaleas and other flowers that grace the Arboretum will add to the Spring festivities.

There will be a champagne reception in Ginsburg Plaza, a professionally staged and choreographed fashion presentation before the seated luncheon. The fashion portion is sponsored by Roberto Cavalli and Oscar de la Renta. Steve Kemble will be providing props. Carmaleta Whitley is the 25th Anniversary Advisor. The hat categories to be judged are Gent’s Top Hats, Most True to Theme, Botanical, Most Whimsical, Most Elegant, Best of Show and Most Outlandish. Ticket sales are open to the public and can be purchased online. Underwriting opportunities and table sales are available at womenscouncildallasarboretum.org.

Starting ticket price is $200.

Stiletto Strut

Fundraiser for Family Place ✯

The 2013 Strut is not a race for a prize, but a sassy walk to raise funds and awareness to support the initiatives of The Family Place. Since 1978, The Family Place has been working to eliminate family violence through intervention and prevention, extensive community education and advocacy for abuse victims and their families.

The Stiletto Strut gives the community a chance to take steps for this important cause. This stylish fundraiser will be the sixth annual of its kind in the Dallas area. The event brings together approximately 500 Strutters to stride the block surrounding Neiman Marcus downtown. This year, guys are invited to get in on the action at Loafer Lounge at the Joule. The Loafer Lounge will feature cocktails, food and entertainment- with a rooftop view of the Strut happening below! For victims of family violence, The Family Place is the Dallas area’s leading organization delivering proven programs that address emotional and physical abuse and incest. The Family Place provides free, comprehensive services that prevent violence and fully support women, children and men on their path from fear to safety. In 2012, they provided services to a total of 12,398 clients in Spanish and in English. When families are in their care, they work to meet all of their needs. At the Safe Campus, they feed more than 50 kids every day, providing meals and afterschool snacks—that’s 18,250 afterschool snacks a year. They go through more than 3,000 tubes of toothpaste and 3,600 bottles of shampoo each year. The Family Place is also able to respond to the needs of hearingimpaired clients. The Family Place couldn’t meet the great need without help from the entire community. Few things have the power to change the shape of our world more than the act of giving.

Pat Benatar & Neil Giraldo Annette Strauss Square ✯

Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo will be performing at Annette Strauss Square in the Downtown Dallas Arts District.

Benatar has always been a rulebreaker and she remains a bold and distinctive artist both on stage and on record, and now, after more than three decades in rock ‘n’ roll, she’s a bona fide living legend. Songs like “Love is a Battlefield”, “Hit Me with Your Best Shot”, “Heartbreaker”, “Promises In The Dark” and “We Belong” are as unforgettable now as they were at the dawn of MTV, when Pat emerged, fearless, fighting and forging a path for other female rock stars around the world. Neil “Spyder” James Giraldo, has been a professional musician, producer, arranger and songwriter for more than four decades now, changing the face of the pop charts throughout the 1980s with his collaborator, muse and wife, Pat Benatar. More than just an explosive steel-bending guitar player, Giraldo’s innovative vision helped him create the signature Benatar sound, from its inception. His impressive back catalog includes more than 100 songs written, produced, arranged and recorded for Benatar, as well as many hits he helped create for John Waite, Rick Springfield (Number One, Grammy-winning classic “Jessie’s Girl” and Top Ten hit “I’ve Done Everything For You”), Kenny Loggins, Steve Forbert, The Del Lords, Beth Hart and countless others. Giraldo and Benatar introduced the world to their enduring partnership and rock ‘n’ roll love affair via her platinum 1979 debut album, In The Height of the Night, which included the classic “Heartbreaker”, as well as the Girald-penned hit, “We Live for Love”. After their wedding in 1982, the pair released their biggest hit yet with the Grammy-winning “Love is a Battlefield,” and took over radios around the world.

CONCERTS

Zac Brown Band Gexa Energy Pavilion ✯

The multiple Grammy Award-winning Zac Brown Band have racked up nine hit singles, two platinum-selling records and countless dedicated fans.

The band’s latest album Uncaged debuted at #1 on Billboard 200. “I think that we’ve grown so much over the past few years as individual musicians and as a cohesive unit,” observes drummer Chris Fryar. “As a band we have really grown together. And we play really, really well together. That increasing level of maturity really shows up on Uncaged.” “We’re always trying to push the barrier of our musicianship and I’m proud to say that there is a little bit of something for everyone,” adds Brown. “It’s your basic countrySouthern rock-bluegrass-reggae-jam record.” The addition of percussionist Daniel de los Reyes has helped the band move the groove along. His new bandmates describe de los Reyes— known for performing and recording with Stevie Nicks, Sting, Peter Frampton and Earth, Wind & Fire, among others—as a consummate professional. “It was really great to have him along,” says guitarist/keyboardist Coy Bowles. “Danny’s not going to be playing timbales over a bluegrass song.

So if he needs to play a shaker all the way through a song, that’s what he’ll do. He knows when to be aggressive and when to lay back. I think the album has a real cool dynamic because of his sensitivity to all that.” Brown has built a virtual southern Brill Building of songwriting talent, while doing his best to reincarnate the 70s heyday of Capricorn Records through his Southern Ground Artists label, home to The Wood Brothers, Levy Lowrey, Nic Cowan, Sonia Leigh, Blackberry Smoke and The Wheeler Boys. But that’s only part of the story. His Southern Ground banner flies over everything from metalworking to leather goods.

Page 22, Museums

The Meadows Museum has organized a comprehensive new exhibition, Sorolla and America, which explores for the first time, Joaquín Sorolla’s unique relationship with the United States in the early twentieth century.

Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida enjoyed world acclaim. He was the most internationally known Spanish artist until the arrival of Pablo Picasso, and his paintings are in many of the most important museums and private collections in the world.

The exhibition features works that relate to his American connection and explain how this country affected the artist, as well as how Sorolla was received by American audiences. Addressed in the exhibition are the repercussions of Sorolla’s blockbuster U.S. exhibitions in 1909 and 1911, from the artistic to the financial perspective.

Through these various facets, the exhibition allows visitors to gain an understanding of the significance and quality of this celebrated painter.

More than one hundred works are presented, including paintings, oil sketches, and drawings. A complete range of the different subjects including social themes, landscapes, beach scenes, portraits, and historical matters, provide an understanding of Sorolla’s work. The role of key collectors and supporters, such as Archer Huntington and Thomas Fortune Ryan are also featured.

Guest curator Blanca Pons-Sorolla is the great-granddaughter of the artist, the author of Joaquín Sorolla (London, 2005), and the world authority for Sorolla’s works. Fully illustrated English- and Spanish-language catalogues accompany the exhibition, with essays by nineteenth-century art experts. The catalogue includes key archival materials relating to Sorolla’s reception in America.

At a single pass, one might only see a solitary, oversized black and white portrait of the late President, John F. Kennedy or his wife, Jacqueline Kennedy, but upon closer examination the viewer begins to see thousands of tiny portraits that comprise the full picture.

New York-based Artist Alex Guofeng Cao calls these “photomosaics.” It is a style the artist developed to blend his training in commercial photography with his love of history and his interest in the pop art movement. He has created photomosaics using some of the most recognizable figures of the 20th Century. His subjects to date include, but are not limited to: President Abraham Lincoln, Pamela Anderson Lee, Gandhi, Marilyn Monroe, Andy Warhol, Brad Pitt, Princess Diana, Angelina Jolie and President Barack Obama.

Cao donated the two 9’ x 6’ portraits of President and Mrs. Kennedy to The Sixth Floor Museum. For each photomosaic, each pixel within the portrait is a much smaller picture of another figure. The inner figure is always someone who shares an important relationship with the main figure. For example, the portrait of President Kennedy, which is entitled “JFK vs Jackie, 2010” was created using more than 50,000 tiny portraits of Jacqueline Kennedy.

The term “vs” in the title of each work is not intended to imply that each subject is at odds with image comprising it. The artist merely wishes to indicate the relationship of the subjects in that one’s biography is used to create the history that then begins a dialogue for the other subject. The portrait of President Kennedy includes five pixels of different images among the 50,000, representing important figures and dates in the president’s life. Jacqueline’s portrait has three different images that represent important figures and dates in her life. The Cao photomosaics will be on display on the Museum’s seventh floor through July 2013.

Ken Price Sculpture A Retrospective ✯

Sculptor Ken Price was born and raised in Los Angeles, California. In the early 80s, Price moved to the east coast and began perfecting the sculptural forms which have given him wide acclaim. Rather than glazing them, the artist paints them with intricate layers of bright acrylic paint and then sanded down to reveal the colors which lie beneath. This retrospective of his work was planned with Price prior to his death at the age of 77 in February of 2012.

Artist Alison Shaw is a fine art and editorial photographer. She lives and works on Martha’s Vineyard.

She began her journey in 1975 when she moved there to take a job at the weekly newspaper, the Vineyard Gazette.

For most people, the first job out of college is a fleeting career opportunity, but for Alison, it became an enduring love affair with her work for nearly 25 years as she

Creative Tides!

worked as a graphic designer and photographer for the publication.

In that time, the island with its picturesque sunrises, stately lighthouses, miles of beautiful coastlines provided Alison with boundless inspiration and unending subject matter.

Now, more than 8,000 of her original fine art appears in private and public collections.

This exhibition will focus on a key aspect of Alison’s life and work in “The Vineyard” as the locals call it. The works within this exhibition will illustrate

how Alison has been contemplating the changing of tides and the island light since 1975.

Like the tides, Alison’s work is always in motion. She has long been known for her iconic Vineyard landscapes, often featuring acute sharpness, intensely saturated color, and strong graphic composition.

They capture both the expansive beauty of the island as well as the smallest of details such as the maturational, peeling hull of an aged wooden-planked boat.

More recently, her creative tides have shifted towards a

more “painterly” look in her photographs, with soft, muted looks achieved in part by moving the camera like a paintbrush, panning as she shoots, minimizing the details, resulting in a completely unique image that instead evokes the subject’s sensual nature.

This new exhibition at Sun to Moon Gallery celebrates the many changing cycle of the tides in Alison’s creative work, featuring crisp, clear, saturated images as well as tranquil, ethereal seascapes and every variation in between.

European artist John Kingerlee is considered by critics to be a master of contemporary art. In the studio, using his own made up pigments, he mimics the cycle of growth and decay. He applies deep pools of colors, applying a new layer of paint as he goes to build the work. His finished paintings will comprise fifty to one hundred or more layers of paint that have been applied over several years and when completed, can take up to five months to dry.

Ted Kincaid

The Terrible Truth, The Beautiful Lie ✯

This is Talley Dunn’s first exhibition of new works by artist Ted Kincaid.

Within the exhibition are five series of images that show the artist’s skillful fabrications of landscapes to create the allusion that the each image was produced photographically. With these works, Kincaid has deeply explored the possibilities of digitally produced art compositions and challenges the “truth” of such images.

While many viewers will swear that these images were taken with a camera or reprinted from historic negatives, perhaps from the 19th century, they will be shocked to discover that Kincaid has completely fabricated most of these images from scratch.

Others, such as his “Thunderhead 11513,” a 10’ wide cloud composition started as an actual photograph that has been digitally altered to the point where it appears almost otherworldly. As one of the most recognized Texas artists, Kincaid’s work has been featured in over 100 exhibitions throughout his established art career. Kincaid’s work can be found in the permanent collections of the Dallas Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts in Houston, the Museum of Fine Arts in San Antonio, the Neiman Marcus Collection, American Airlines, the Belo Corporation, the Omni Dallas Hotel, the Microsoft Corporation, Pfizer, Inc., Reader’s Digest Corporate Collection and the City of Seattle, Washington. Kincaid was born in Chattanooga, Tennesse in 1966 but he has lived and worked in Dallas for many years. He received his BFA at Texas Tech University and an MFA from the University of Kentucky. For the past twenty years, his work focused on the fusion of painting and photography, at times referencing the pictorialist style that dominated photography during the late 19th century.

Turandot, which means Daughter of Turan, is an opera in three acts that was written by Giacomo Puccini and set to a libretto by Giuseppe Adami and Renato Simoni.

It is based upon the story as written by Carlo Gozzi of the epic Turan-Dohkt, by Persian poet Nizami.

Beijing during legendary times- near the Forbidden City- had a law that read “Any prince who wishes to marry Princess Turandot must answer three riddles and if he fails, he will die.”

A barbarian prince named Caláf has recently come to Beijing, where in a strange twist of fate, he is reunited with his father- the vanquished King of Tartary.

Caláf falls in love with the coldhearted princess because of her intense beauty and rings the gong to declare that he will participate in the challenge to win her hand in marriage. Many of the kingdom’s top officials hope that love will thaw the princesses’ icy heart and ruthless reign.

As the time for Calaf’s challenge nears they steady themselves for either a wedding, or yet another funeral. Before the rituals, Turandot explains to him that her ancestress lived in peace without the control of a man until she was raped and murdered by an invading prince. To escape the same fate, Turandot refuses to let a man control her. She urges Caláf to walk away, but he will not.

He passes all three challenges brilliantly and then issues a challenge of his own to Turandot. If she can tell him his name by dawn, he will agree to die, but when she sees the sacrifices people are willing to make to protect him, she realizes that there just might be more power in love than in mere power itself, alone.

Of TwoWitches!

The time has come for you to forget everything you thought you knew about The Wizard of Oz and many of its key characters, for the musical Wicked turns all things stunningly upside-down.

What starts off as hatred for one another turns into a very unlikely friendship at college between Galinda and Elphaba. Galinda is popular and beautiful. Elphaba is repulsively green and ridiculed by all. With her natural magical talents Elphaba instantly receives attention and praise from Madame Morrible who wishes to introduce her to the Wizard of Oz; an opportunity that Elphaba welcomes as she believes the Wizard can help her with some animal rights issues. She quickly learns that the Wizard and Madame Morrible are up to no good and that they are perpetrating the very crimes against animals that Elphaba has been so passionate about preventing. In an act of rebellion she flees Oz to live according to her moral standard, but as she has gone against the Wizard’s wishes, she is soon labeled as “wicked” and is hated throughout the land.

Meanwhile, Galinda chooses to remain in the Wizard’s favor and live life in Oz as a public figure. While on the lamb, a series of circumstances put Elphaba in ill-fated positions which make her appear to be truly wicked, despite her good intentions. She is forced to turn the object of her sister’s affections in to the tin man to fix a spell her sister cast that took his heart away. She is blamed for the creation of the cowardly lion because she freed him as a cub and he never learned to fight his own battles. She manages to get cross-ways with Dorothy when she captured her to get her sister’s red ruby shoes back and now everyone is out for “The Wicked Witch of the West.”

The Ghost Sonata August Strindberg ✯

This play in three acts by August Strindberg was written in the early 1900s. It follows the adventures of a young student named Arkenholz who is enamored by his perception of the glamorous lives led by inhabitants of a stylish apartment building in Stockholm. He makes friends with a mysterious man by the name of Jacob Hummel who grants Arkenholz access to the apartment building. Once inside, he discovers a home riddled with betrayal and madness. After having entered, he realizes that what he once thought was the world, is actually hell and humans must suffer the pains and fires of hell to achieve salvation. In many ways, Ghost Sonata is a dramatic interpretation of the feelings August Strindberg had about the world in which he lived. In Ghost Sonata, he describes a family that may have well been strangers who simply gathered for the sake of not being alone.

Strindberg himself felt as though family was a pointless institution and societal ill. From an earlier work, “Inferno” he states that family is “A charitable institution for comfortable women, an anchorage for house-fathers and a hell for children.” As a child, Strindberg was raised in poverty by a barmaid and a businessman who at times had as many as ten people living in the family’s small three-room house. Many critics feel that the main character in the Ghost Sonata was much like Strindberg, always feeling that others were more affluent and that he was always on the outside looking in to what he perceived was a more glamorous life. In this vivid world, Strindberg envisions ghosts walking about in the light of day, a beautiful woman-turnedmummy who lives in the closet and a household cook who sucks all of the nourishment from the food before she serves it.

the company you keep Robert Redford / Shia LaBeouf ✯

Jim Grant (played by Robert Redford) is a public interest lawyer and single father raising his daughter in the tranquil suburbs of Albany, New York. Grant’s world is turned upside down when a brash young reporter named Ben Shepard (played by Shia LaBeouf) exposes his true identity as a former 1970s antiwar radical fugitive wanted for murder. After living for more than 30 years underground, Grant must now go on the run. With the FBI in hot pursuit, he sets off on a cross-country journey to track down the one person that can clear his name. Shepard knows the significance of the national news story he has exposed and, for a journalist, this is an opportunity of a lifetime.

Hell-bent on making a name for himself, he is willing to stop at nothing to capitalize on it. He digs deep into Grant’s past. Despite warnings from his editor and threats from the FBI, Shepard relentlessly tracks Grant across the country. As Grant reopens old wounds and reconnects with former members of his antiwar group, the Weather Underground, Shepard realizes something about this man is just not adding up. With the FBI closing in, Shepard uncovers the shocking secrets Grant has been keeping for the past three decades. As Grant and Shepard come face to face in the wilderness of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, they each must come to terms with who they really are. Additional cast members include: Chris Cooper (Adaptation), Jackie Evancho (America’s Got Talent), Brendan Gleeson (The Guard; In Bruges), Stanley Tucci (The Hunger Games) and Terrence Howard (Hustle & Flow).

The film is based on the novel by Neil Gordon and adapted for the screen

by Lem Dobbs (Haywire). Robert Redford not only stars in the film, he also directs.

14 year-old Ellis lives on a makeshift houseboat on the banks of a river in Arkansas with his parents, Mary Lee and Senior. He sneaks out early one morning to meet his best friend, Neckbone. Neckbone, also 14, lives with his uncle, Galen, who makes a hardscrabble living diving for oysters. The two boys set out to an island on the Mississippi River, where Neckbone has discovered an unusual sight—a boat, suspended high in the trees, a remnant of an extreme flood some time in the past. They climb the tree and into the boat only to find fresh bread and fresh footprints. Realizing that they are not the only ones who have discovered the treehouse boat, they decide to leave.

When they reach the shore, they find the same footprint in their boat. And that’s when they meet Mud (played

by Matthew McConaughey). Mud is a gritty, superstitious character; his clothes are dirty, his tooth is cracked, and he needs help. He tells the boys he will give them the treehouse boat, his current hideout, in exchange for food. Neckbone is reluctant, but Ellis brings food to Mud, and they develop a tentative friendship. Ellis learns that Mud has killed a man in Texas, and police and bounty hunters are looking for him. Mud is more concerned about reuniting with his longtime love, Juniper (played by Reese Witherspoon).

Ellis agrees to help Mud escape with Juniper. Ellis and Neckbone carry out bold schemes in an effort to protect Mud and relay messages to Juniper, who is holed up in a fleabag motel, under constant surveillance by Carver, a Texas bounty hunter. Carver and his gang are intent on capturing Mud, on orders from the cold-blooded King.

Through it all, Ellis struggles to look for an example of love that he can believe in, learning about the unspoken rules and risks of love and the reality of heartbreak.

Since 1995, the Deep Ellum Arts Festival has become one of the largest visual and performing art festivals in the region and has even garnered international acclaim for its quality.
