EDITOR’S NOTE

Portrait Tim Boole, Styling Jeanna Doyle, Stanley Korshak

February / March 2018

TERRI PROVENCAL Publisher / Editor in Chief

Arts coverage is the backbone of what we do here at Patron, so when we have the opportunity to visit with multiple artists and collectors in a single issue we know we’re in for a treat. This issue finds us catching up with Marguerite Hoffman who graciously shared a sampling from her outstanding collection installed in the divine Garden Pavilion designed by the late Bill Booziotis. She tells arts writer Nancy Cohen Israel that she’s growing the breadth of female artists in her collection. “Often the work refers to women’s bodies or to the roles that are traditionally relegated to women.”

One of these artists is Renate Bertlmann, whose Washing Day, 1976–2014, graces our cover, reminding all of the significance of the female voice.

William Carr has been a Dallas Art Fair champion since its inception and serves as a director of the Dallas Art Fair Foundation. In Home Grown we visit with him and partner Michael Pappas to discuss their ongoing commitment and art that appeals to them coming to its 10th edition this April. Shannon and Dallas Sonnier are also Dallas Art Fair enthusiasts.

Self-described as “new to collecting,” the Sonniers have enjoyed their recent acquisitions and shared works they are eyeing from among the fair’s upcoming exhibitors.

In our Contemporaries and Studio departments we checked in with three artists, two Dallas-based—Otis Jones and Paul Winker (whom we’re grateful to have in our backyard)—and Bret Slater, a Southern Methodist University MFA graduate who began his career here before moving back to his native New York. Together they embody the life of an artist from emerging to represented to established, an ongoing investigation to produce new work.

We were sorry to lose Alan Kagan and Eduardo Moncada who moved from Dallas to their beloved Santa Fe, but thrilled they opened their new mountainous home to Patron readers, instilled with distinguishing thumbprints from our hometown. Alan, a developer who worked with Far + Dang architects, created a modern dwelling that brims with art from local galleries. Peggy Levinson gives details in Santa Fe Modern. Enjoy the natural beauty of the Land of Enchantment, knowing Texas is underscored.

Meanwhile, Lee Cullum shares the particulars of the magnanimous efforts of this year’s TACA Silver Cup Award Honorees, Julie Hersh and Don Stone. Awarded for outstanding arts leadership and volunteerism, the pair embodies TACA's mission: “Transforming lives through the arts.” Next, Lee describes the underpinnings of The Dallas Opera’s upcoming premiere of Dutch composer Michael van der Aa’s Sunken Garden. Integrating video and 3D technology, the opera examines an imagined barrier between life and death.

One Step Beyond again commits to an artist from the area. Here, photographer Shayna Fontana integrates the work of Manila-born, Dallasbased sculptor Dan Lam whose Squishes, Drips, and Blobs fascinate in their otherworldly appearance. A cosmic treat, the images pay homage to early spring fashion.

We hope readers will enjoy these stories as much as we did producing them. As always we look forward to the “laundry list” of things to see, do, and discover in the region.

OF NOTE

PEREZ PAINTS JOHNSON'S DALLAS Enoc Perez pays homage to the late Philip Johnson with Liberty & Restraint.

I

n January, Enoc Perez unveiled a new body of work that continues his examination of Philip Johnson’s modernist architecture. Paintings of eight Johnson-designed structures that helped define the cultural identity of Dallas/Fort Worth comprise Enoc Perez: Liberty & Restraint. Dallas Contemporary’s citywide exhibition brings the New York-based artist’s varied palette to depictions of Johnson’s surviving architecture in the region, including the Amon Carter Museum of American Art (Fort Worth; 1961), The Beck House (Dallas; 1964), John F. Kennedy Memorial (Dallas; 1970), Fort Worth Water Gardens (1974), Thanks-Giving Square (Dallas; 1976), The Crescent (Dallas; 1985), Comerica Tower (Dallas; 1987), and Cathedral of Hope (Dallas; 2010).

Relocating from his native San Juan, Puerto Rico, to New York City in the mid-80s to study painting at Pratt Institute, Perez has focused much of his practice on architecture, specifically Johnson, including a series of paintings of the Pritzker Prizewinner’s Lipstick Building exhibited within the architect’s Glass House in Connecticut. “He was able to say whatever he wanted to with architecture. The Comerica Tower, that's a bank; that's about

power,” Perez comments.

Applying an incremental paint-layering technique, Perez “strips his landmark subjects of their functionality and reintroduces them as art objects through repetition as if to suggest the accumulated passings of a daily commute.” In response to the outcome of the presidential election in November 2016, Perez extensively researched existing and destructed US embassies—from Baghdad to Beijing— for another series. The artist is also known for his portraits, still lifes, and nudes. Describing an untitled sculpture installed at ThanksGiving Square, Perez says, “It's all about our idea of America. And everything that was and is good and bad. It's the weirdest piece to put on an altar.”

Perez was recognized in Dallas as MTV RE:DEFINE’s honored artist in 2016. Accompanied by public installations at the Johnson locations, Liberty & Restraint invites the viewer to examine their relationship to the urban landscape by challenging the boundary between interior and exterior, and between architecture and art.

Liberty & Restraint will be on view at Dallas Contemporary through March 18 and within Johnson’s landmarks through June.

SEOUL–DALLAS–SEOUL

O

pening Feb. 17, Chong Chu, a painter and Professor of Art at Brookhaven College of the Arts, has gathered some friends and colleagues for a group show at Mary Tomás Gallery including two artists from Seoul, Korea. “I visited Korea through an exchange workshop program between the Chung Ang University in Korea and the Brookhaven College in Dallas as art faculty. There I met Sun Doo Kim and Keun Joong Kim,” Chong Chu describes. Now the two Korean artists will visit and teach at Brookhaven as part of the exchange. “I think these two artists are exemplary in the Korean contemporary art world. ” Sun Doo Kim expresses the meaning of life through the cosmic visions and dream states present in his work. Kim refers to himself as a landscape painter, believing “it is an essential genre in this day and age. We are constantly driven far away from nature, and nature suffers at the cost of human desire.” Kim explores contemporary aesthetics using the jang ji technique, narrowing the gap between ink and color, and line and shape, drawing life’s awareness through the aesthetics of lines. Kim’s works are part of public collections at National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul Museum of Art, Sungkok Art Museum, Ho-Am Art Museum, Kumho Museum of Art, and more.

Keun Joong Kim reveals, by means of the flower borrowed from Korean folk art, the oppressed inner consciousness. He believes that humans live as split subjects with the dichotomist framework of good and evil. Translating the traditions of folk art to Korean pop art, his work offers a pathway to recovery of the genuine self or natural being.

Chong Chu defines, “He seeks himself through his medium.”

Kim received his MFA from the Graduate School of Culture and Fine Arts University, Taiwan, and currently works as Professor of College of Art, Painting, Sculpture at GaChon University, Seoul, Korea.

The show’s curator, Korean-born, Dallas-based painter, Chong Chu, attaches past memories to his abstract markmaking as he explores the symbolism of ongoing expansion of the natural world in regard to faith and grace. Chu received his MFA degree from Tyler School of Art at Temple University, Philadelphia, PA, and works as a Professor of Art at Brookhaven College of the Arts. His wife, Hyun Ju Chung integrates inspiration and celebration of her native Korean culture and personal experiences in America. The intercultural encounter is revealed in her painting style where recurring symbols underneath layers of rich color and gestural pattern intimate a universe in harmony.

Dallas-based ceramicist Lisa Ehrich, Chair Faculty at Brookhaven, and Brookhaven’s Executive Dean, Rick Maxwell, a sculptor who works with wood, joins these four Korean-born artists. The exhibition runs through Mar. 24. marytomasgallery.com P

tête-à-tête Dallas-born Isaac Lyles and Olivia Smith discuss starting up their Manhattan galleries and exhibiting at Dallas Art Fair.

I

WITH ISAAC LYLES AND OLIVIA SMITH PORTRAIT BY OLIVIA DIVECCHIA

saac Lyles: We’re both Dallas natives. How did you get into art and was there something in Dallas that led you to it?

Olivia Smith: Visual art has always been the most important thing in my life, but SMU Meadows School of the Arts really shaped me as an artist and interdisciplinary thinker. I also learned quite a bit through internships at Big Thought and the Creative Arts Center of Dallas, and as a docent for The Rachofsky House. My very first introduction to contemporary art was visiting a Neil Jenney exhibition at Craighead Green Gallery, which left quite an impact on me as a high school student.

OS: And what about Dallas shaped you and your interest in art?

IL: My father David Lyles co-founded the short-lived but important Dallas Artisans Guild. Spending time in artists’ studios and experiencing the alchemy and labor of creation had a formative effect on me. It was that profound sense of community as well as exhibitions at the Dallas Museum of Art, particularly Bill Viola: The Crossing and the Sigmar Polke: Recent Paintings and Drawings exhibitions that opened up the world to me. I knew that I wanted to pursue art history and that art was an intellectual and social pursuit, one that affects and enriches life.

IL: Now as a director of one of the Lower East Side’s most interesting galleries, what excites you about returning to our birthplace and exhibiting at the Dallas Art Fair?

OS: It’s been exciting to watch the art scene develop in Dallas while I’ve been in New York. I attended the first edition of the Dallas Art Fair ten years ago as an SMU student. A few years later, I saw Chris Byrne give a lecture about the fair at the Dallas Contemporary.

I have attended the fair many years since, always with the hope that I could participate in some way. It’s important to me to connect with Dallas since I believe in the future growth of the arts in my hometown.

OS: What attracted you to New York? Did you know you wanted to work in galleries and eventually open your own?

IL: After stints living in Berlin, London, and Mexico City, I knew I wanted to go where the adventure was and rub elbows with the best of my generation. I worked with amazing people: the curator Antony Elms, Mike Egan (of Ramiken Crucible, whom I met at UT Austin), Derek Eller, and Jack Tilton before the chorus of “you should open your own gallery” was loud enough for me to hear. On May 31, 2015, I opened Lyles & King in the Lower East Side.

OS: Do you think being from Dallas makes you stand out in the New York art world?

FAIR TRADE

IL: I think it does, because I try to approach each gallery visitor with grace and friendliness—traits that I specifically attach to the kinder world of Dallas—traits that are rare in New York. What about you?

OS: Before opening Magenta Plains, my co-founders and I discussed our values: integrity, hospitality, accessibility, and curiosity. Those are qualities I grew up with culturally in Dallas.

IL: Can you talk about Magenta Plains? The name, the program, and the gallery’s vision?

OS: For me, the name Magenta Plains is visually expansive, full of possibilities. One of the core missions of the gallery is to bring greater attention to significant art and artists regardless of age or career, presenting context and meaning for the development of new ideas as well as to preserve older generations of artists’ work. We are thrilled to announce our roster of artists this spring!

OS: How did your gallery Lyles & King develop, and how do you select which artists to exhibit?

IL: I began the gallery with the belief in the importance of experiencing art in the flesh. In a world all-too-digital, exhibition-making (“Ausstellungsmacher” is how Harald Szeemann described himself) has become much more important.

I represent artists because I believe in the process of building an oeuvre in time, I believe that I can foster that for artists, and I want collectors to know that I stand fully behind my artists. I choose artists to exhibit first and foremost by being passionate about the work and confident in the artist’s vision and therefore future. Secondly, I’m working to build an international program characterized by dynamism and difference. Issues of the body, experience, and technology are themes that course through many of our shows.

IL: What about the Dallas art scene do you think is most exciting?

OS: I love to meet with collectors in Dallas because they are receptive and open-minded. It’s especially exciting to see the recent developments in private institutions like The Power Station, Karpidas Collection, and The Warehouse. I hope young artists who attend art school in Dallas will stay in the city, continue to thrive, and keep forging new territory.

IL: I agree with you and want to add the amazing curators Justine Ludwig and Alison Gingeras at the Dallas Contemporary, along with TWO x TWO for AIDS and Art, which I attended for the first time in the fall. I think Dallas’ community of patrons, curators, and collectors, along with the Dallas Art Fair, have generated something special, and something that you and I are proud to be a part of and proud to return to.

ABOUT THE INTERVIEWERS: Olivia Smith is director of Magenta Plains, a contemporary art gallery founded in 2016 on the Lower East Side of New York City.

Prior to co-founding Magenta Plains, Smith directed Exhibition A, where she worked in collaboration with over 250 artists to produce and distribute new limited-edition art. Smith graduated from Highland Park High School and received her B.F.A. from SMU Meadows School of the Arts in Studio Art, Art History, and English in 2011. magentaplains.com Isaac Lyles is the owner of Lyles & King. Many of their gallery artists are in the collections of Centre Pompidou, Paris; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; San Francisco Museum of Art, San Francisco; Museum of Modern Art, Warsaw; and others. Lyles & King exhibitions have been featured in Artforum, Art in America, ArtNews, The New York Times, The New Yorker, Artnet, and others. lylesandking.com P

OPENINGS

SERENDIPITY’S SEASON For Dallas artist Otis Jones, the stars are aligning—it’s about time.

A

t seventy-one, Dallas artist Otis Jones has been around the block more than once—enough to have seen it all. An influential and well-respected luminary in the Texas art firmament for decades, he’s been represented in Dallas

by Barry Whistler, Gerald Peters, Holly Johnson, again Barry Whistler, and in Fort Worth, for over 20 years, by William Campbell Contemporary Art. His footprint is international as well; Jones is repped by Copenhagen’s Sunday-S Gallery and Zürich’s annex14. But 2017 was a benchmark year in the septuagenarian’s career, distinguished by several confluent milestones, and setting the stage for even better things in 2018. The short list: last summer Jones was picked up by New York gallery Marc Straus; in September Straus showed three of his paintings at Expo Chicago and sold them all within an hour. Then in October, Sunday-S Gallery’s solo exhibition of new works sold out before it even opened. This month, February 16 marks the opening of Jones’ first solo exhibition with Straus, and at Dallas Art Fair 2018 Jones will be shown by both William Campbell and Barry Whistler; he’s Whistler’s featured artist. “It’s all very serendipitous,” Jones says, “and I couldn’t have made it happen this way if I’d tried. But I’m very happy that it’s all coming together the way it is.”

Serendipity? Gallerist William Campbell weighs in, “We’ve been selling his work and supporting him as much as we can, but until you get that opening, whatever it is, you’re just out there working.

Otis has been doing what he does for a long time, and now new eyes have seen it.” And Barry Whistler adds, “Otis is getting his deserved attention—not that it wasn’t happening before, but there’s a certain momentum that seems to be happening now. I’ve always identified with his clean-line aesthetic and abstraction; I think he hits those on the head. And I see some folk art in there too, that rough edge.”

That roughness is a key aspect of Jones’ aesthetic, which reveres the “hand” in the work, the revelation of the method, and the unabashed “objectness” of the work. There’s no sleight of hand, there’s only hand. “They’re all objects, no matter what, even an illusionistic painting,” Jones says. “As somebody once said, ‘I don’t paint the banana, I make the banana.’ That’s kind of appropriate, because I’m trying to make something out of nothing, and it feels handmade; it has an identity as an object in the world. It’s still painting, but it’s very physical.” That physicality is the essence of the paintings, from the nakedly exposed stapling, to the subtly

imperfect, overly thick plywood foundations, to the layers of paint, abraded paint, and more paint. “I’m building the geology of the piece,” Jones explains. “A little bit of the history is revealed in the painting, and I hope I’m imbuing the work with a little bit of my soul.”

Serendipity definitely played a part in New York gallerist Marc Straus’ discovery of Jones. The artist recalls, “The phone rang one morning and it was a guy from Marc Straus. He said, ‘I’ve seen your work on Instagram and I love it; I think Marc would love it, and we want to show you.’” Jones visited the Marc Straus website and was a bit perplexed by what he found there.

“My first thought was, ‘where do I fit in?’ I called the guy back and he said, ‘Well, that’s the point—you don’t quite fit in, and we like that.’” Meanwhile, halfway across the world, Marc Straus and gallery partner Tim Hawkinson were in Brussels, visiting art fairs. At one of them Marc spotted two small paintings that stopped him in his tracks. “I knew the DNA of the work immediately,” he says. “I knew I’d never seen it, I knew it was American, that it would’ve been an older artist, and this quirky,

unusual work clearly had a relationship to the 70s, West Coast art, Minimalism, and Color Field art, and I decided to find out who the artist was. Quite coincidentally our other partner and Director, Ken Tan, had separately found him—it was like the three of us all converged at the same time.”

Straus first showed Jones as part of his gallery’s summer group exhibition, The White Heat. Jones flew to New York for the opening and met with the partners. Negotiations ensued, new price points were settled, and a deal was struck. When Straus took three paintings to Expo Chicago in September, it couldn’t have gone any better. “They sold in an hour,” Straus says, “and the people who ran the fair, and others from another prestigious fair, all told me that Otis was the ‘find’ of the week.” Jones’ inaugural solo exhibition at Marc Straus opens on February 16, and Straus himself is thrilled. “I think Otis has created his own identifiable language, and it could only be an artist who’s lived through and crossed these different eras. Yet the work is absolutely fresh; it’s work of the moment.” The untitled show will present 8–10 recent works, large and small. “I want a little bit of a mix,” Jones says, “and have it installed in a very sparse way. The paintings need room to operate.” Straus observes, “His works hold a lot of space, they have a lot of power—he’s really making extraordinary work.”

And the work cont inues. Further down the road in September of this year, Jones and rising star Bret Slater will exhibit together in a two-man show at annex14 in Zürich.

The two have shown together several times over the years, and their “mentor/mentee” relationship (Slater was once Jones’ studio assistant), has blossomed into a peer-to-peer mutual admiration. “We’re kind of an odd couple, in a sense,” Jones acknowledges. “I’m this codger and he’s this babe in the woods, you know? [Slater is 40 years his junior.] I consider him my colleague, and in the end, I’ve learned from him as well.”

To everything there is a season, and this serendipitous season belongs to Otis Jones. P

The Importance of Being Earnest

BRET SLATER IS AUTHENTIC—TO HIMSELF, HIS WORK, AND THOSE WHO’VE INFLUENCED HIM.

O

n the 5th day of January, Bret Slater was still wrestling with a title for a large painting. Leaning against a wall at Liliana Bloch Gallery, the work awaited installation for his solo show opening the next day. Titles mean a great deal to the artist, which he says are “about things I’m experiencing. A lot of the time it’s influenced by music I’m listening to while I’m working, and things that I’m vibing— maybe even characters from books I’m reading.” Slater says Herman Hesse, the late Nobel Prize-winning novelist, poet, and painter, is one of his all-time favorites. An excerpt from Hesse’s Demian accompanies Slater’s exhibition. But there are also titles borrowed from the old British rock band, T. Rex, like Spaceball Ricochet. “His titles are really good, funky, and just so fresh,” says gallerist Liliana Bloch.

This is the artist’s first time showing with Bloch who says they’ve been talking about doing a show together for a year and

a half. “I’ve always been very intrigued by his work and have followed his career for several years now.” A native New Yorker, Slater received his MFA from Southern Methodist University and was once a Dallas-based art darling, beguiling collectors at every level with his small-scale works, first exhibited by the muchmissed Marty Walker Gallery and later with Holly Johnson. It’s been a couple of years since he’s had a show here, and it’s good to have him back. Effortlessly earnest, we’ve missed his arresting tattoos, inexhaustible energy, and mostly his work.

Through February 10, Bret Slater displays the demure paintings for which he is known, though void of the remembered bright colors, in addition to three large canvases. The show is described as a “dynamic shift in both scale and technique for the artist.”

While all the paintings are uniquely Slater, the sizeable canvases are something he’s just come back to over the past couple of years. “You get to miss making larger work.” He reveals previous attempts were

not, in his mind, successful. “But for my first solo show with Marty (Walker) I did have a larger work painted thickly on raw canvas. That was successful, but a different technique.”

The artist is influenced by pop culture, but also describes his paintings as “inanimate souls.” He says, “The small scale of the paintings, their materiality, and their color all relate.

They all connect to a certain physicality of a certain kind of thing. Where does painting meet this rubber action figure that I treasured as a kid and carried in my backpack? Where do painting and that kind of affinity meet for a toy as a kid?

It’s the handheld space, like the experience of reading a book. I think books may impact me more than any other kind of media.

Maybe. It’s all this content in this one physical shell.”

The artist could certainly maintain a fruitful career dedicated entirely to his 10-inch-and-under misshapen, modern color fields with paint overlapping the edges. Solo

shows across the globe have mounted each year since he graduated from SMU—Italy, Belgium, and Switzerland. The artist’s application of acrylic mixed with medium to create conceptual, yet approachable, rubbery, soapy-like objects are highly collected, but that alone would be too confining for him.

“I thought for years about how I could make large paintings again. And my whole working space, my whole mental working zone, became like this box in front of me, and it was just too small. It became like confining myself. I needed to break open again. I wanted to use my body and my arms and legs to make work. I want to make big things. I want to break out of this small shell.”

While he dabbled in going large, he was not feeling the same intimacy, then something ancillary stirred him. “In 2014, I was giving a talk for the series Artists on Artwork at The Met on Kenneth Noland and Paul Feeley. They are two of my first

favorite painters and a lot of their buddies: Helen Frankenthaller, Morris Louis—the Color Field painters,” he says excitedly. “I was giving this talk about painting in general and as I’m talking it hit me: That’s how I can make large work; it’s to just make paintings in the same way they made paintings with watereddown, stained acrylic on raw canvas. And it could work, and I could use my own compositions.” He said he had resisted their methods “out of respect and desire to let that be its own moment in history and to always strive for originality.”

So, after the talk, the young artist peacefully succumbed to the old adage that nothing is original. “You have to come to this realization, I think, as a maker that you can’t be a maker and be 100% original. It’s just not possible. There is no completely pure format. Everything you’re doing has a foregrounding in history already. And that’s a difficult thing to deal with as a contemporary

artist. You have to wrestle with that.”

Slater is nothing if not soulful. Everything around him affects him, and his palette is more subdued this time around.

He’s a thinker, though an extroverted one with an easy smile.

“Two years later I decided to embrace it and try to make these large works. The materials are the same but used differently with a lot of water instead of medium, and applied differently.”

He gestures to the matte-brown and purple-stained painting he had struggled with titling. “These are stained with a brush.”

The work, relieved of the same texture, is still instantly recognizable as the artist’s. “I think it’s going to be Gutter Gaunt Gangster after lyrics from a T. Rex song.” On the opening day of Slater’s show, the late T. Rex frontman, Marc Bolan, would have been proud. P

VISUAL LITERACY

A

Paul Winker’s paintings are inspired by images in today’s hierarchy of communication.

crudely outlined snake appears to float over the inky black backdrop of space. Like a localized x-ray, a pink fleshy lump is clearly visible within the serpentine form. The image is graphically simple, appearing as an unexplained biology diagram or perhaps an illustration of some forgotten idiom. In another painting, a hand cursor points to Earth—establishing a connection between icons—the hand of God and that present digitally with which we peruse the Internet. Third, a diptych offers a smiley and frowny face as contemporary comedy and tragedy masks. These are the winking works of Paul Winker.

Winker mines the meme and emoji-filled landscape of contemporary visual language. In doing so, he creates works that feel uniquely grounded in the now. The artist’s oeuvre draws from the contradictory nature of how images are approached today—being so loaded, yet simultaneously taken for granted. For a population so constantly bombarded with pictures, many lack the knack for decoding them. Winker sees his attempts to rectify this as the responsibility of the artist in present times—drawing parallels

that are often as inspired as they are obvious.

For the artist, 2017 was a year of reflection. Winker focused primarily on introspection and experimentation. His 2016 closed with a major presentation at The Box Company, Dallas. In the spring of 2017, he partnered with Pierre Krause for the show Bible Study curated by Danielle Avram at Texas Women’s University in Denton, intuiting, even co-opting, some of Krause’s autobiographical themes and rhythms. Both shows, in their own way, offered an exploration of childhood, growth, and the human imperative to communicate.

Winker’s commitment to making art began at an early age. In kindergarten Winker had a friend who was constantly drawing— creating elaborate images of air balloons and insects. This creative fervor lit a fire in Winker. He too wanted to be able to invent realities and tap into the potential of imagination. The freedom of childhood creativity continues to inspire him. Winker actively, even classically, clings to this frame of openness often lost in adulthood.

Winker’s gestures intentionally appear naïve—all squiggle lines and simple mark-making. They speak to the elemental need

to express one’s self and be understood. Winker’s codified marks are reminiscent of Keith Haring’s symbolic language found in the artist’s early diaries and are inspired by the primacy of images in today’s hierarchy of communication. As emojis, stickers, and gifs become accepted avenues of interaction and expression, the artist’s work draws a line back to the earliest modes of communication such as the Lascaux cave paintings. Winker considers his works as expressions of experience and understanding distilled to their most essential elements.

The artist initially creates his images on a track pad— instinctively dragging his finger over the surface. The digital image is then printed full size, which is then traced and cut out.

Winker uses this template to assemble his work. Painting on a flat surface he builds up thick layers of enamel house paint. One could call this his calling card. The resulting image protrudes from the surface of the canvas—lending a seductively smooth and rich physicality to each painting.

This technique is heavily inf luenced by Winker’s past experience with creating stencils for street art. In this process, images are manipulated digitally to heighten contrast, then printed and cut out by hand. The exchange between digital and physical platforms is central to Winker’s practice. They speak to the translation and tension between the different realities we constantly find ourselves bouncing between.

In Winker’s studio there hangs a large canvas that reads “fuzzy math.” This Bush-era phrase employed to discredit everything from statistics on global warming to election results was in many ways the buzzword precursor to “fake news.” It is a phrase that through repeated use has becoming meaningless. In Winker’s presentation it is now an icon. Monumentalized and untethered to circumstance, Winker highlights how communities place weight on the familiar even when it is not understood. The painting evokes, even mocks, contemporary outrage and controversy.

Now Winker is turning his attention to investigating the iconic painting Olympia by Édouard Manet. Winker seeks to unearth the tension between historical presentation and contemporary understanding. The famed painting was seen as scandalous upon its unveiling due to its overt sexuality. Now it exists as one of the greatest hits of art history 101. Winker’s interpretation of the painting focuses in on Manet’s model, Victorine-Louise Meurent.

Meurent was a celebrated painter in her own right and was a regular subject for Manet, having also posed for Dejeuner sur L’Herbe and The Railway. Removing her surroundings, the reinterpretation becomes about the sexualization and anonymity of a woman now written out of history. While breaking new ground, Winker still speaks to the role of visual literacy, promising his most thematically complex work yet. P

S

unken Garden has nothing in common with Eden. Nobody there is as sexy as Eve. Amber comes close, but she’s too desperate to really qualify. There is another woman, however, who comes to resemble a serpent, only worse. Nor is it a Paradise Lost. How could it be? This was never really a Paradise Found, though some dreamed it might be. The Dallas Opera’s US premiere of Sunken Garden is instead a way station between life and death, a place, though misleadingly lush, that you’d rather not visit lest you never get out alive. A cross between the Bhagavad Gita and the Book of Revelation with a dash of Hitchcock’s Vertigo, it is a work of mad originality by Michel van der Aa, a stratospherically modern Dutch master to whom those sources, though lurking somewhere in the subterranean, universal unconscious that grounds his music, would seem as irrelevant as John Philip Sousa.

Michel van der Aa is a genius whose adventures in high technology teeter always on the edge of invention at war with the sane, netherworlds that riddle the real, art in collusion not with science but alchemy. Sunken Garden has it all: video to propel the plot, 3-D glasses that rush the action right inside your line of vision, and a full orchestra led at The Dallas Opera by Nicole Paiement, Principal Guest Conductor and expert at meshing Michel’s electronic music with instruments in the pit, creating a combination that is whole and wholly mesmerizing.

Three characters sing on stage, and two on film. One of them, Kate Miller-Heidke, is an Australian pop star who trained in opera. Two of the others, soprano Miah Persson and baritone Roderick Williams, performed in Blank Out, van der Aa’s big success at New York’s Park Avenue Armory last fall. Six actors appear in video interviews in Sunken Garden, filling in the blanks of a weird story by British novelist David Mitchell. In Blank Out, Miah Persson, a Swedish star with a radiant bell-like voice, portrayed a blonde innocence, yielding unaware to unwelcome knowledge of life and death. In Sunken Garden she plays the far more complex, dramatically demanding Dr. Marinus, who shows up in all of Mitchell’s books, sometimes male, sometimes female, and sometimes as a psychiatrist as in this opera. At first the doctor looks like the villain of the piece. But she isn’t. The villain is Zenna, a deceptive lady bountiful who dispenses lots of money for Toby’s documentary.

In February, production people will arrive at The Dallas Opera with electronics, wires, copious computer files of scenery and music to help Drew Field, Technical Director and Head of Artistic Operations, mount the spare, then lavish but ever complex production envisioned by Theun Mosk, Dutch wunderkind of theatrical design. Except for the ravishing garden itself, two big aluminum boxes frame the action on film, truly the room where it happens, while the trio of singers do their part, in and out of the projected melodrama. Some screens rise, others drop. Projectors fly in and out. All the while, Drew Field stands backstage, on the left, keeping a watchful eye, set to send help if baritone Roderick Williams runs into trouble moving the boxes around as he throws his voice into the role of a hapless documentarian, trying to make a movie about two missing people, trapped, it turns out, in the garden, a place, remember, you don’t want to go, no matter how glorious.

Sunken Garden, as an opera, is as convoluted as Il Trovatore, as emotionally inconclusive as The Tales of Hoffman, and as riveting as the best of Hans Christian Andersen. For all the wonders of technology that it deploys—and there are plenty—it still comes across as elegant storytelling, capable of transporting an audience to places it has never been before, or perhaps remembers only too well.

As astonishing as the show itself is the creative energy clustered currently in the Netherlands. Michel van der Aa, Theun Mosk, director Ivo van Hove (Belgian, but working in Amsterdam), architect Rem Koolhaas—all exude fresh, unfettered inspiration. Why? I asked Michel when we spoke by phone. “The Dutch from the get-go,” he explained, “are a traveling bunch of people. They always look abroad, not internally, but across the border.” There’s more: “We used to have, and have again, a government that invests quite well in the arts, with subsidies for artists. So there’s soil for the arts to grow. You can be original.” P

Lobbying for the Arts, Julie Hersh and Don Stone are the 2018 TACA Silver Cup Award Honorees.

L

ast September, Julie Hersh and Don Stone were chosen as the 2018 TACA Silver Cup Award recipients. Established by former mayor Annette Strauss in 1976, each year, TACA (The Arts Community Alliance) has honored one man and one woman for “outstanding contributions to the arts.” Patron checks in with this year’s honorees described by TACA Carlson Executive Director and President, Wolford McCue, as “truly exemplify(ing) the spirit of the award.”

Julie Hersh is a powerhouse. You might not know that from reading her book, Struck by Living: From Depression to Hope. I spent most of a night with it after she gave me an updated copy the afternoon we met for this interview. I already had a first edition but had not given it as much time as it deserved, fearing to go too deeply into it would be a downer. That turned out to be true, and not true.

Hersh is an advocate for searing honesty, and happy endings, never contrived but wrested in deadly combat with noonday demons, as one writer called them, chemicals madly out of balance in her brain, unresolved consequences of sensible choices not always affirmed by irrational sense. That she not only survived but also prevailed, her life infused with meaning and her days with purpose, testifies to her impressive strength, buttressed by the stamina of a thoroughbred and the integrity of a saint.

Julie married into a Jewish family that eventually included two children as well as her husband Ken. She remained an outlier, estranged from her Catholic upbringing but drawn to it nonetheless.

Now she enjoys hearing Rabbi David Stern at Temple Emanuel, but also turns up at St. Rita’s, which holds for her the consolation of ritual. Her insights are laced with Christian concepts, such as “dying to something bigger than yourself…I love the idea of sacrificing yourself for something,” she explains.

Julie almost sacrificed herself to suicide, three times, believing her personal world would be better off without her. No one in her household agreed, and Ken fought hard to get her into electroconvulsive therapy. It worked, the first time, and again, when she relapsed. Returning to life, she is the Hersh Foundation’s president and helped to guide its initial grant to the Center for Depression Research and Clinical Care at UT Southwestern. It is pushing for

primary care physicians to handle 95 percent of the cases, which they can do if they only know what to look for. “We need a smoke alarm,” she asserts. “We don’t want to wait until the building is on fire.”

Julie Hersh pivots easily from science to stagecraft and currently chairs the board of the Dallas Theater Center. A high moment of last year, of course, was going to New York with Artistic Director Kevin Moriarty and Managing Director Jeffrey Woodward to receive the Regional Theatre Tony Award, about as big a deal as they come.

It was conferred on DTC “not for a single production,” Julie notes, “but for a body of work.” The most significant aspect of the effort in 2017, in her view, was the inauguration of Public Works Dallas, an enormously ambitious project that embraces community centers from Literacy Archives in Vickery Meadow to Bachman Lake Together to Jubilee Park and Community Center. Actors from the downtown realm of Moriarty fanned out into these neighborhoods for a year, encouraging free expression in people of multiple languages, origins, experiences, and aptitudes.

It all culminated in a grand extravaganza at the Wyly, with 200 participants, ages seven to 91, performing in a musical production of The Tempest, directed by the master himself (Kevin Moriarty), all in Shakespearean English. It was a riot of strenuous, delirious effort; unalloyed discovery; and achievement. “People really stretched,” says Julie, “to overcome obstacles,” some as basic as figuring out how to use public transportation to get to the Arts District from neighborhoods they never had left before. “It’s all about stretching.”

“Stretching” is a word she uses a lot, admitting that she stretched herself to write Struck by Living. “I was worried about the impact on my family,” she tells me, “afraid it would reflect badly on Ken and his career (by then in accelerated orbit at NGP Energy Capital Management, a group of funds he founded, and later set aside to run the George W. Bush Presidential Center) and the kids.” As for Rachel and Daniel, “The opposite happened. They became much more aware and open, able to spot problems in their friends.”

Julie has found her own voice, speaking at gatherings such as Music and the Brain at the DSO’s SOLUNA and even starting lessons in singing, picking up an old pleasure from her childhood.

(She has had to leave them off for now, with so much going on, but

“Julie Hersh asks the right questions, attacks critical challenges, and pushes for innovative responses.”

“Don Stone is a visionary, an extraordinarily generous donor, a Renaissance man of Dallas.”

–Wolford McCue, Carlson President Executive Director, TACA hopes not forever.) She exercises regularly, running with a group of Catholic women and another at the Cooper Clinic, as well as in marathons, now cut in half. She meditates daily and also every day does a “gratitude list.” It’s important, she relates, “to stop and focus…I love light and shadows, [so I feel grateful] for the way light is shining through the leaves on the trees, making a shadow.” Gratitude, she stresses, should be “specific.”

When it comes to culture, theater comes first for Julie Hersh, who would love to write a play, but she also enjoys music and the visual arts. In her house the pictures on the walls are happy, as she points out: a whimsical hanging by Pamela Nelson; a painting by Toni Truesdale of a faintly surrealistic Hispanic woman in blue inspired by Hildegard of Bingen, a twelfth century Benedictine abbess, said to be an “artist, writer, physician, mystic” (not unlike Julie Hersh herself); and in her dining room, a large picture in vibrant blues and oranges by Cecie Borschow of Santorini where the Hershes spent the first night of their honeymoon. On the table are architectural drawings of an apartment in the Vendome where Ken and Julie are moving later this year.

So the art is happy, but is Julie Hersh happy? Probably yes, certainly more than before. Amidst the sobering aspects of her story she can be radiantly witty. But I suspect that instead of happiness she is seeking and finding a peace that is as productive as it is reassuring. A character in Turgenev once said before she took her life, “I was never able to simplify myself.” Julie Hersh, a complicated combination of Irish and Polish, poetry and science, South Bend and San Francisco, prayer and inner power, is doing just that.

Don Stone seems as uncomplicated as Julie Hersh is complex, but isn’t that often the case with men and women? He worked his way steadily up from the men and boy’s basement department of Foley’s in Houston to running Sanger Harris in Dallas to presiding as vice chairman over much of Federated Department Stores, now Macy’s Inc., the parent company in Cincinnati, and director of Fossil Inc. from 1993 to 2013, while Julie zigged and zagged through severe disturbance—a “crooked straightness” Robert Frost called it—to arrive safely on the shore of triumphant self-fulfillment.

Both of them love London, however. Julie and Ken and their children lived there for a year—the happiest of her life, she wrote—and when Don “was smart enough to take early retirement,” as he puts it, he and his wife, Norma, a formidable adventurer, decamped to a flat in London. There they stay each spring and fall, for the 90 days they can live in Britain without unpleasant taxes. “It was by far the best investment we ever made,” he tells me, “though we did not intend it as an investment.” On Berkeley Square in Mayfair, the Stones’ apartment has zoomed in value as surrounding properties have been swept up by Middle Easterners, Greeks, and Russians searching for a place “to park their money.” A house near them, he says, “has been redecorated three times, but nobody is living in it.”

Norma and Don go out almost every night in London, doing theater, opera, concerts, and dance. (“If you’re tired of London,” he paraphrases Samuel Johnson, “you’re tired of life.”) They spend the summer in Aspen and the rest of the year in Dallas, where he holds forth still on the board of the Dallas Symphony, which he chaired in the early 1980s, then took part in planning the Meyerson, including

the hiring of architect I.M. Pei and acoustician Russell Johnson.

Those were heady days in Dallas, especially for the symphony, when all the major corporations invested in the orchestra. That is less true today, Don laments, then argues that “no one has seduced CEOs…They’ve got to get involved and enjoy being involved.”

The economic crash of 2008 “gave them an excuse,” he says, “to cut back.” Moreover, he believes the board chair must enforce “discipline”—a word he uses as often as Julie Hersh does “stretching.” When he led trustees of the orchestra in Cincinnati, he insisted they sign an agreement at the beginning of each season, committing to do what they said they would do: “give or raise money, bring in new people, go to the green room after every concert to greet the conductor.” In Dallas he thinks it’s vital that board members vow to “pay their pledges in the calendar year” for which they were made.

“I have no musical knowledge at all,” says Don, “but I love contemporary music.” Don and Norma established the Norma and Don Stone New Music Fund at the Dallas Symphony Foundation. He hopes the new conductor (when the DSO at last names a replacement for Jaap van Zweden) will take a strong interest in music of our own time and, especially, American composers.

“Living composers,” he points out, unlike painters or sculptors “need an orchestra to know what they’ve done. You don’t have to like it. Just listen to it.”

Don listens with admiration to Voices of Change, and he has a lot of praise for the Dallas Black Dance Theater. “Zanetta Drew is the best executive director in town,” he declared. “They never spend money that they don’t have.” Don and Norma also support the Fine Arts Chamber Players, and they created a fund there to pay tuition for “highly talented kids,” one of whom is currently learning to be a composer at TCU and another, from a Somalian family, is pursuing piano at UT Austin. Don deplores that “there is no music education in the [public] schools. It falls between the chairs and there’s nothing to catch it.” One bright spot for young musicians, he noted, is the Greater Dallas Youth Orchestra. “They have discipline,” he says approvingly: “miss [too many] rehearsals and you’re out.”

Discipline comes easily to Don Stone. It’s not hard at all for him to eschew television and read instead, drawing on rich and varied resources in the beautiful library of the apartment he shares with Norma on Turtle Creek, not far from the Hershes’ new experiment in urban living. While he immerses himself in a book, he can glance up from time to time at elegant works on paper by Picasso, Matisse, Calder, and Miro. A more recent acquisition is a sculpture by Lorenzo Quinn, son of the late actor Anthony. It’s a book in bronze with a pair of lovers inside half-open pages.

Of course, Don Stone is too disciplined to lose himself to email either. He wants nothing to do with it. That’s Norma’s thing. “She sits up until 3:00 in the morning doing email,” he says. Maybe that’s not so bad. She can keep him in touch with a world he prefers to know only selectively. After years in retailing, at the mercy of the buying public, he deserves, no doubt, a civilizing respite. There’s no better place for that than books and music, but you’ll also find the Stones at and supporting many of the numerous “big and small” theaters around town. “I really like what they are doing.” P

hile the Dallas Art Fair has opened the door to a growing number of collectors, the city’s stalwarts continue to play an active role. In addition to being among the first to walk through each April installment during the Patron Preview, many of them generously open their homes and collections during that weekend. This year, prior to the public opening, one of its sponsors, Marguerite Hoffman, will welcome exhibitors to her Bill Booziotis-designed guesthouse and exhibition space known as B2.

Though she and her late husband, Robert, built the collection together, their approaches to collecting varied. “Robert had a list of five criteria. Some of these criteria formed the backbone of the collection,” Marguerite says. She, on the other hand, collects more intuitively. “It happens to me in the first three minutes. I look for quality that’s inherent,” she explains.

Hoffman is delighted that the Dallas Art Fair is cultivating new collectors with initiatives such as the Dallas Art Fair Foundation & Dallas Museum of Art Acquisition Committee. She credits

the leadership of the fair with creating a critical mass between institutions and emerging collectors.

“We have to keep expanding awareness and move beyond the obvious players,” she says. As the former chair of the DMA Board of Trustees, she also stresses the importance of getting collectors involved with local institutions.

While her collection includes titans of modern and contemporary art, Hoffman continues to expand its scope. “I made a conscious decision a year or two ago to diversify the collection and to include the work of more women and more people of color,” she says, adding, “Since this work will go into a municipal collection, it has to reflect that culture.” Mark Bradford and Rashid Johnson, accomplished artists by any barometer, are among those reflecting this diversity. She has also acquired the work of over a dozen women, including Austrian artist Renate Bertlmann.

“Often the work refers to women’s bodies or to the roles that are traditionally relegated to women. Washing Day is a perfect example of these conditions. Bertlmann was a proto-feminist artistic voice

commenting on the oppression of women as well as on female sexuality. I am interested in all these themes and how they have played out over time,” she explains.

Hoffman also enjoys following the work of younger artists, such as Wyatt Kahn, saying, “I feel that Wyatt is confronting a long line of questions in art history about what constitutes a painting or a sculpture. His shaped canvases with their playful titles activate the room and immediately call to my mind some of the ideas inherent in the work of Stella or Kelly.”

In addition to the opportunity of acquiring new work, Hoffman also values the relationships that she has formed with gallerists.

Many galleries are on her list to visit this year, including Van Doren Waxter, a Dallas Art Fair newcomer, but a longtime friend of Hoffman. She also looks forward to the return of Kerlin Gallery and Harlan Levey Projects. From the latter, she is interested in seeing Marcin Dudek’s Alcohohooligan. “It bows a bit in the direction of Clifford Still, but in a Dr. Seussian kind of way. The manner of execution is interesting and exacting,” she says.

A tour through this art doyenne's spectacular collection is something Dallas Art Fair Director Kelly Cornell is grateful to offer visiting exhibitors. “We are thrilled to have the generous support of Marguerite, opening her collection and being active in the fair.

Marguerite is a shining example for new generations of collectors, and her involvement with the city's institutions has been crucial to putting Dallas on the map as it is today.” P

Home Grown DALLAS ART FAIR CULTIVATES A NEW COLLECTOR BASE.

W

hat is the secret to art collecting? For many collectors, it all comes down to intuition. This innate sense makes it possible to wander through galleries and be immediately drawn to new works. With close to 100 galleries from 15 countries participating, the upcoming Dallas Art Fair, now in its 10th year, will offer an abundance of choices. The Dallas Art Fair Preview Gala is the opening event to the weekend, with proceeds from this dazzling evening benefiting the Dallas Museum of Art, Nasher Sculpture Center, and Dallas Contemporary. Through a variety of initiatives, the Dallas Art Fair is cultivating a new generation of collectors while also working in

tandem with established collectors.

Shannon and Dallas Sonnier are among this new generation inspired by the Dallas Art Fair. Though a native son, Dallas met Shannon in Los Angeles, where they both lived before relocating to this area in 2015. Dallas learned about the fair shortly after moving back to town. “We really started collecting in Dallas because of our great experience with the Dallas Art Fair,” he says. The first year they attended, they purchased Texas Teen by Georgia Hayes.

“It related to Shannon’s own experiences as an outsider moving to Texas,” Dallas explains.

The following year, they were invited to participate in the Dallas

Art Fair Foundation Acquisition Program. This invitation-only group, now in its third year, is a unique partnership between the Dallas Art Fair and the DMA. Participants donate to the fund and then have the opportunity to preview the Dallas Art Fair with Dallas Museum of Art staff several days before it opens to the public. This year Katherine Brodbeck, The Nancy and Tim Hanley Assistant Curator of Contemporary Art and Dr. Agustín Arteaga, The Eugene McDermott Director, will play an active role in the acquisition tour and selection process. This will be the Sonniers’ second year to participate on the committee. Dallas says, “It is fascinating to have the gallerists host and be able to hear their conversations with DMA curators and know that we could help acquire work for the museum. It’s like peeking behind the curtain in the Wizard of Oz.” The movie reference is apt as Dallas is the CEO of the film company Cinestat. As one might expect from a filmmaker, much of the work in their home has a narrative element to it. The couple enjoys the reactions their collection elicits. “I really like when someone comes to the house, sees a piece, and is inspired by it,” says Shannon. Perhaps not surprisingly, much of the work in the collection has a narrative element to it. Chivas Clem’s Totem III, for example, greets guests in the entry of the Sonniers’ home.

“It’s a giant Jenga statue of VHS tapes,” Dallas explains. Beyond the obvious cinematic connection, there is a deeper personal connection. Clem, represented locally by Erin Cluley Gallery, is from Paris, Texas. He acquired the tapes from shops throughout East Texas. Dallas’ family owned a ranch near Mineola while he was growing up. The possibility that some of the tapes in the totem are the same ones that Sonnier may have rented as a teenager gives it added meaning.

In the meantime, they anticipate seeing several pieces coming to the fair. Jacob Hashimoto’s multimedia piece, The Mountain Builders, will be presented at Ronchini Gallery. Dallas says, “Shannon and I got our start in the movie business in our 20’s, working as assistants at the United Talent Agency in Beverly Hills. The boss, Jeremy Zimmer, is as sophisticated a collector as I have ever met. He had a wonderful piece by Hashimoto in the lobby of the old UTA offices, and I remember thinking that one day I would love to have a piece that stunning.”

They are also looking forward to seeing Lita Albuquerque’s Auric Field from Peter Blake Gallery. “Anyone named Lita Albuquerque is going to catch our attention, as that name belongs to a superhero or rock star. Having lost both of my parents in tragic circumstances, I think a lot about life, death, and the afterlife. Lita has captured the energy surrounding a beautiful life in her piece, and I wonder if she created it as a reminder of someone whose spirit she misses quite often,” Dallas muses.

At this year’s fair, they will visit with local friend Erin Cluley as well and Division Gallery from Canada. Their favorite part of the weekend is its kickoff event. “The preview night is the best night of the year,” says Dallas, adding, “We’ll tour, see friends, meet new people. It’s a blast!”

Over the past 20 years, William Carr and Michael Pappas have traveled the world collecting art. Objects in their beautifully renovated mid-century ranch reflect travels to Africa, South America, and Europe and span several centuries. “If it talks to us, it doesn’t matter if it is from the 15th century or the 21st century,” Carr says. Pappas and Carr are global citizens in the truest sense.

In addition to an 18-month sabbatical during which Pappas lived in Paris, the couple also spends every July in Mallorca.

Their collection veered to the contemporary about three years ago and continues to reflect this international dynamic. Working with Carbon 12 Gallery from Dubai, they acquired several pieces at the Dallas Art Fair from artists such as Portuguese painter Gil Heitor Cortesão and Austrian artists Philip Mueller and Bernhard Buhmann. Carr says that one of Cortesão’s Porthole paintings spoke to him for two years before he decided to buy it last year. They acquired the Buhmann work the year before. With the Buhmann painting, Pappas says, “It was mainly an emotional response to his composition of abstract shapes and his use of color.”

That many of the artists shown by Carbon 12 are up-and-coming is particularly exciting for them. They are also eagerly anticipating seeing new work by the artists represented at Nicelle Beauchene Gallery and Carrie Secrist Gallery.

Carr has been involved with the Dallas Art Fair from its earliest days. He is also a founding member of the two-year-old Dallas Art Fair Foundation Board. Serving on the Board, he says, is an honor and a privilege. He is also delighted that the fair attracts a broad array of visitors to Dallas. Carr further stresses that the event “allows people to collect at all levels.”

Among the works that Pappas and Carr look forward to seeing this year are paintings by John McAllister and Laura Lancaster from Shane Campbell Gallery, and WORKPLACE GALLERY, respectively. Pappas is drawn to McAllister’s painting hibernal haunts hewn. “I am attracted to his works for their vibrant colors and his subject matter of still life and landscapes,” he says.

His taste is consistent. Last year, the couple acquired a work from Mueller’s Mountain series. “I fell in love with it. The dimensions, the artistry all spoke to me,” Pappas says.

Of Lancaster’s untitled painting, Carr says, “It’s new and fresh and borders on the line of abstract. This painting in particular expresses the hope of the human spirit reaching out for something.”

He is also drawn to Lancaster’s process. “She uses old negatives that she finds at garage sales and interprets the event through her painting,” he explains.

Both men work in creative fields. Carr is the owner of William Carr Salon and Pappas is a landscape designer with impeccable taste. While they collect collaboratively and intuitively, Carr says, “I defer to Michael a lot because his background in landscape design and architecture is phenomenal. He has that eye.”

Pappas concludes with what he enjoys most about this annual event: “The art. The people. It’s exciting to see new and emerging artists.”

Officially, the Dallas Art Fair is a three-day event. Those purchasing Patron passes also enjoy access to the Thursday night Preview Gala as well as to learning opportunities throughout the weekend, including visits to private collections, lectures, and evening events. Just as the Dallas Art Fair has created a ripple effect within the contemporary art scene, it has also become the catalyst for the city’s celebration of Dallas Arts Month, bringing exposure to the area’s diverse visual and performing arts community.

SANTA FE MODERN THE LAND OF ENCHANTMENT LURES DALLAS EXPATS TO THEIR NEWLY CONSTRUCTED DWELLING WITH MOUNTAIN VIEWS.

Alan Kagan worked with Far + Dang Architects from Dallas to design a dream home that embraced the mountain views.

or many Texas collectors there is one longed-for residential move—to be surrounded by art, both natural and manmade, within an inspired community of kindred spirits. “Get thee to Santa Fe” says the artistic muse—and that is exactly what Alan Kagan and his husband Eduardo Moncada did just recently after visiting for many years.

Kagan, a modernist builder and art collector, called on Dallasbased Far + Dang Architects with whom he had worked on projects in Urban Reserve, and his own considerable experience as the founder of Dwellings…A Kagan Company, to build their dream house in Santa Fe. For the site-specific landscape he collaborated with Patrick Dickinson, a horticulturalist who works in Dallas for Texas A&M Agrilife Research and Extension Center.

The house, built in a boomerang shape, arcs around the living areas facing the mountains. The roof cantilevers out to create deep decks furnished with multiple seating areas from Richard Schultz for Knoll to enjoy the views with sliding doors that offer an idyllic indoor/outdoor living experience. Bollard lighting creates a beautiful walkway to the front door, and vertical aluminum posts create an entry courtyard but still allow for views from the living room. The house was obviously built to take full advantage of the famed New Mexico sky. “I was struck the first time I saw the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and knew I wanted to be able to see them in all lights, at different times of the day,” Kagan expresses.

“I was struck the first time I saw the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and knew I wanted to be able to see them in all lights, at different times of the day,” –Alan Kagan

Kagan’s collecting obsession began years ago. “My initial collection began with Roseville Pottery, which I discovered in estate sales and antique stores in Atlanta in the mid 1970s. Although they produced many other lines, I was struck by Donatello.” The Donatello pattern, featuring pastel glazes with raised images of cherubic children, was introduced from Europe and only produced in the early 1900s in Roseville, Ohio. The search process was slow before the Internet and Google and he recalls, “Each time I would find one it was like finding a treasure.”

Like most art enthusiasts, treasure hunting typically spawns new collections. “When I see something, any art form that peaks my interest, I typically buy it—travel especially gives me the opportunity to explore different cultures. While living in Southeast Asia, I was struck by the simplicity and beauty of Japanese design, and I began to notice Japanese masks—I began a mask collection from Japan, Bali, and Mexico. And while on a recent trip to Amsterdam we stumbled upon a toyshop filled with ‘designer toys.’ Hence the beginning of a toy collection.”

Kagan began perusing galleries all over the Dallas area in the 1980s before there was a real gallery district. He also went to galleries in Denison, Texas. “At one time Denison was being promoted as a new Santa Fe.” At a gallery opening in Deep Ellum, he discovered Lionel Maunz, a young art student at Southern Methodist University, and bought an early abstract of a horse and rider. Maunz now lives and works in New York where his figurative dystopian sculptures were exhibited at MoMA PS1 in 2016.

The Estelle Meyers Gallery on Cedar Springs sometimes had special sales of artwork from corporate moves. Kagan bought an abstract from the Dutch artist Arie Van Selm at one of those sales, long before he was a sought-after artist represented by Gerald Peters Gallery. His early acquisitions have stood the test of time and remain some of his favorites today.

And all this art, stunning views, and the home itself need an audience. The house was built for entertaining, old friends flock to visit and enjoy Santa Fe, and new friendships are always made in this friendly, social town. Kagan enjoys cooking in the custom kitchen he had fabricated by the same artisans he uses for houses he builds in Dallas. The living areas flow into each other and are connected outside

by the extended decks. Classic modern furniture pieces create separate seating areas, all taking advantage of different views of the conjoining Jemez and Sangre de Cristo mountain ranges in the distance.

The den yields more art—a vibrant red abstract by Dion Johnson from Holly Johnson Gallery hangs over a B&B Italia sofa with midcentury chairs recovered in rich purple velvet. The colors seem to mirror the sunset. The living room presents a different view of the mountains and has a seating area with four Corbusier chairs and an animal skin rug; the focal point is a painting of a giant jade plant by Theo Wujcik from Galleri Urbane in Dallas. The vertical aluminum posts outside the entry courtyard reflect and create a kaleidoscopic view of the dramatic landscape.

Whimsical touches and favorite art objects abound throughout the house: as a crawling-man wire sculpture by Chris Mason from Craighead Green faces an orange squirrel outside the window in the living room. In the dining room, a running-man sculpture in painted plaster is by the French-born, Dallas-based artist Phillipe Semp. An ephemeral tree sculpture by Shane Pennington stands alone at the end of a long hallway. Last Embrace by Robert Yarber was purchased at an estate auction at Talley Dunn.

In the master bathroom are works by James Gilbert of dreamlike transparency where a delicate white dress and man’s shirt and pants appear like shadows on the wall. Solid blue bricks mounted form a rectangle offering an interesting installation in the office. One brick stands apart and leaves an empty space. “This represents dyslexia to the artist Eric McGehearty—words that jump out and don’t appear in the right order to the dyslexic eye,” says Kagan. Also in the office is a Plexiglas work, Untitled by Loring Toaka from Galleri Urbane.

The pair buys what they like and seems to have an unerring eye for good design. Iconic pieces like an Eames chair and the Corbusier chairs mix well with other modern furniture they have acquired through the years. Biedermeier dining chairs purchased thirty-five years ago at a defunct furniture store in Dallas surround a dining table from Cantoni. The spare lines of the furniture let the art and views take center stage.

Though Kagan is completing a multi-family project and a custom build for a client in Dallas, he avers, “We are now in Santa Fe lock, stock, and barrel. There’s a vortex of some sort here. We love the diversity of the people, and the sun shines 300 days a year. There is a reason they call this the Land of Enchantment,” he proffers. P

THE DIVINE PANTER A GRAPHIC JOURNEY THROUGH HEAVEN AND HELL.

G

ary Panter published Song y of Paradise this past year.

In 2004 and 2006, Panter had faithfully reworked— reducing, modifying, and reformatting—Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy into two books: Jimbo in Purgatory and Jimbo’s Inferno, respectively. This third and final volume pays homage to John Milton’s Paradise Regained, itself a retelling of Jesus’ forty-day journey into the desert.

Panter grew up in Sulphur Springs, Texas. He has exhibited paintings with Talley Dunn Gallery as well as Fredericks & Freiser in New York. His images have appeared in numerous periodicals including R AW, Rolling Stone, The New Yorker, and Time magazine. His work as a set designer was honored with three Emmy Awards. He currently collaborates with Josh White on the Joshua Light Show and plays in the band, Devin Gary & Ross.

Chris Byrne: What was the impetus for tackling Dante’s “Divine Comedy”? Did your religious upbringing predispose you to adopting this epic for a graphic novel trilog y?

Gary Panter: I guess so. My life is marked by being raised as a fundamentalist conservative Christian in East Texas and being a missionary to Belfast (of all places). The church I grew up in considers itself the only true faith. That was damaging to me, so the study of comparative religions and history of Christianity was quite helpful. I am not part of the Jesus cult, but am also not into telling other people what they might believe. Studying Dante and Milton, who were Christian geniuses of some sort, was very interesting. Dante gave the Catholic Church a useful tool, but also a critique. Milton’s ideas of how to serve God and himself evolved and changed throughout his life, which allowed him to incorporate his own evolution as a person.

CB: You developed the Jimbo character whom you’ve described as a hybrid between Dennis the Menace and Joe Palooka during the heady early days of the Los Angeles punk movement. Can you describe that particular time and aesthetic?

GP: Funny that I don’t like Dennis or Joe Palooka much. Their creators were troubled people. Jimbo has a squashed nose and an athletic body, which bring those earlier strips to mind.

My “scratchy” style began in about ‘72, and for a few years I was

looking for a place to publish that work, especially since nobody else in comics seemed to be doing what I was doing—mixing the art and comics I was into—Dubuffet, Brit Pop, cubism, the Hairy Who, cave paintings, and such. So discovering SLASH magazine’s first issue looked like a possible home for me due to its stark graphic look, and it did indeed turn out to be. The LA punk scene was very small in the beginning and mostly of young artists and runaway kids. After a few years there were thousands of kids, and it was quite a spectacle and a great place to start. It was tons of fun, and I made many friends there.

CB: I read that you selected Song y for the Milton narrative because of his vulnerability or a kind of lack of sophistication—his dialogue with Satan becomes almost a monologue. Are there other depictions of Christ to which you intended to allude? We discussed James Ensor’s etching of “The Devils Dzitts and Hihanox Leading Christ to Hell” (1895).

GP: Songy’s hallucination of Satan’s words and presence were all analogous to the action and speech in Milton’s “Paradise Regained” which has been considered as a famous nonconversation, as Jesus and Satan respond to each other but don’t actually communicate well at all. Using a simple stubborn hillbilly instead of Jesus seemed funny because Songy, with his simple desires and limitations, did very well against Satan. In Milton, Satan is a super salesman. So much so that Milton was accused by some of being a literal Devil’s Advocate!

CB: In 2007, “Jimbo’s Inferno” was selected as an American Book Awards winner. Yet Andrew Arnold of “Time” also called “Jimbo in Purgatory” the worst comix of 2004—arguing that it was completely unreadable and vastly over-conceptualized. How do you reconcile this sort of recognition with this type of criticism?

GP: I don’t worry about it. I am doing art out of very personal impulses, and that is my reward. I actually get to do it. In America, people seem to need giant successes and vast sales, big prizes and becoming millionaires. Even though I need money like everyone else, I am more into those small gestures that have interesting consequences and somehow help the psyche of humanity. P
