PUBLISHER’S LETTER It is somewhat surreal for me that one year has passed since the first anniversary of Southlake Arts, and now we find ourselves at year two! Happy birthday to us and to the readers!

our midst and beautiful stories to be revealed. One of the hardest parts of editing this magazine is deciding which stories are most relevant, interesting and important for you to read!

And thank you to you, our readers, for taking the time to appreciate what we are bringing to you. By doing so you are playing an important part in the promotion and growth of our culture and community. One of our longtime contributors, The Art House, overheard a conversation between parents about the magazine, and one of the comments was “I get that magazine every month. I’ve saved every issue. I absolutely love it!” Thank you to each and every one of you who are saving and collecting our issues, we couldn’t ask for a bigger compliment.

I’d like to acknowledge two important people without whom the magazine wouldn’t be what it is. First, our designer Nick Schaider. Nick is a unique talent: he takes the content we provide him and quickly composes it into a clear, beautiful and balanced magazine. We don’t micromanage Nick, most of the decisions are his own, and month after month he surprises us with his design skills which we’ve learned to trust. He does stay busy, but for those of you who have design needs he has my highest recommendation.

The story this year is quite similar to last year. There are so many unheard stories that we still have to bring to you! There is still undiscovered talent in

Secondly, our copy editor Wendy O’Hearn. Wendy has done a remarkable job of taking all of the copy (that is media terminology for

words) that we have written and been provided and making sure that it is grammatically correct. Her passion for proper grammar has made our stories clearer and helped us communicate efficiently. We don’t want our stories to be ruined by misspelling or confusing by using the wrong form of ‘there’. We have Wendy to thank for keeping our stories safe. In this issue! DSO on the GO!, a new Art in the Square logo, Giuseppe Penone at the Nasher, pie, a beautiful city and much more. Enjoy the issue!

EVENTS by Kelly Trager The Dallas Symphony Orchestra came to town on October 22nd, playing at White’s Chapel as part of their DSO On The Go series which aims to bring the symphony out in to the community and reach new audiences. And, wow, what a show. The torrential rains did not deter the enthusiastic crowd - students to seniors and everyone in between - or the musicians, and those in attendance were treated to first-rate musicianship and virtuosic conducting.

Photography by Bruce Rosenstiel

The program, a delight for audiences of all ages, began with Mozar t’s Overture to The Abduction at the Seraglio. Written in the “Turkish style,” after the earliest military marching bands, and set in the Ottoman Empire, the piece is heavy on the bass drum, cymbals, and triangle, resulting in a rousing work that made a young Mozart popular with Viennese audiences. Our audience didn’t find it too shabby, either. The bold piece was an attention grabber and was a per fect complement to Mother Nature’s performance outside.

SLAM REVIEWS:

DSO On The Go

Next up was Benjamin Britten’s Variations and Fugue on a Theme of Purcell, more popularly known as The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra because of the way each section is showcased through the piece. While it is often performed with a narrator further instructing young listeners throughout, for this show it was performed without narration. As a concert piece, it was just as entertaining and instructive. As each section played its variation, I was reminded of turning the knobs on a stereo to isolate each channel. When the full orchestra played after one of the section highlights, the awe-inspiring complexity of symphonic music was brought back to the listener’s mind. The whole truly is more than the sum of its parts, even when those parts are jaw-dropping on their own.

EVENTS My favorite piece of the night, Chausson’s Poeme for Violin and Orchestra was absolutely ethereal. Haunting and delicate, this piece gets inside your bones and wraps itself around you. The violin part, played exquisitely by Eunice Keem (also an Associate Concertmaster for the orchestra), both floats in the air and burrows in the soul. Ms. Keem’s sensitive and passionate interpretation made the audience lean in to grasp every note and, as the last strains echoed through the hall, struggle to find their breath again.

Though there was so much that shined bright in this delightful performance, the brightest of all was the conducting of Karina Canellakis. Her command is one of both passion and lightness, bringing a weightlessness and ease to the podium while still demanding much out of the music. She was electric, and her movement became such a vital component of the pieces that it is hard to imagine anyone else at the helm. Make sure to catch DSO on the Go next time they come to town; you will not be disappointed.

The final piece of the evening was the lovely Pictures at an Exhibition by the Russian composer Modest Mussorgsky. As the title suggests, the work is inspired by walking through an exhibition of paintings at a gallery. Anchored by the Promenade - which is meant to evoke the moments between viewing the art, when one processes what has been seen - and consisting of ten sections, each representing a painting, Exhibition is a remarkably accurate sonic representation of a visual event. From The Gnome to The Ballet of the Chicks in their Shells to the larger than life The Great Gate of Kiev, Mussorgsky’s depictions of his friend’s paintings were striking and evocative. The piece, the longest of the night, simply flew by as the audience wandered the gallery together.

Painting by Lamberto

Two years ago, in our first issue, we quoted Ray Nasher who said, “True prosperity is impossible without a thriving arts community.” Ray, who founded Northpark in the 60’s (at the time the world’s largest indoor climate-controlled shopping mall), was a champion for improving the culture of DFW and founded one of the jewels of DFW, The Nasher Sculpture Center.

What an incredible coincidence! Here is the president of the ECB after the European Union experienced extreme hardships (Greece), and he is talking about culture and art while featuring an artist who is on display just 20 minutes away at the Nasher! He is talking about ‘canvas-backed’ securities and not a complex quantitative easing scheme. Is he out of his mind? Buy art in a financial crisis? Did Forbes make a mistake by listing him as the 8th most powerful person in the world or Fortune when they listed him as the world’s second greatest leader? Maybe he is taking note from an older federal bank - The United States Federal Reserve.

With these large central banks building their collections, it’s important to note that the arts really are the best investment that a society can make; Art is almost recession proof. For those who remember 2008, Sotheby’s had one of its biggest nights ever. Their Abstract and Expressionist Pop Art sale totaled $375 million.

But, if we were to rely just on our government and arts organizations to transform our culture, we would be missing out. For those of you reading this right now who feel compelled to do something, to participate in some way, you might not know what to do. So I’d like to make two easy suggestions.

But the value isn’t just monetary. In Draghi’s speech he stated that “art is a part of our history and heritage and reminds us that value isn’t just monetary.’ Artists, sometimes without knowing it, become our ambassadors to people outside our community. They make outsiders seem to know us and our culture just by witnessing our art. Willie Nelson and

There will be an OPEN MIC night starting in September on Tuesday nights from 6-8 pm at the Burger Shack right at the entrance to Bicentennial Park off of 1709. You might be asking yourself, “What is an open mic and why is it important?” Glad you asked! An open mic is a place where students, amateurs and professional musicians, comedians, actors and poets gather to informally share their material for each other. The purpose of the gatherings are for the creative types to forget friendships and gain experience and feedback through performing for their peers. The open mic is organized by a host and there is a sign up sheet. Everyone that would like to perform signs the sheet and waits their turn to perform. Each performer generally goes up to the stage, does one piece and then returns to being a member of the audience. This is an especially exciting and important event for our young creative types who need to network with each other (IRL not on FB) and gain important performance experience!

Bringing Nature to Those in Need by Beatriz Terrazas, vice-president/secretary of NatureReach

After school lets out this October afternoon, 24 girls at Fort Worth’s A.M. Pate Elementary School file into the cafeteria. They make a beeline for the tables we’ve set out with clay, molds, paints and brushes, and their eyes widen in anticipation as they remove backpacks and slide into chairs. They’re part of the Girl Scouts at School program (more on this later), and they’re going to earn their Potter’s Badge through NatureReach, our Southlake based non-profit. NatureReach hopes to create environmental stewardship by fostering a respect and love for nature. Today’s students will shape clay, a natural resource, into bowls, frogs, fish and pigs. They’ll also select a pre-shaped animal mold to paint any color they want. And from the way they’re eyeballing the molds, they’re particularly excited about this. What they don’t know is that those of us with NatureReach are just as excited about today’s program. Not only are we fulfilling our mission of bringing nature to these kids, but we’re also putting to work the Gaither Family Scout Scholarship, a fund we established last year to help scouts in underserved parts of our community, a goal we’ve had almost from the moment we formed NatureReach. We keep NatureReach’s costs modest— today’s program would cost each girl a mere $10. But for students whose parents work two, and sometimes three jobs to make ends meet, “there’s no way we’d be able to afford it,” says

And, last fall, with seed money gifted by longtime Girl Scout volunteer and Southlake resident Cindy Gaither, we established the Gaither Family Scout Scholarship to help Scouts in underserved communities, Scouts like the ones earning their Potter’s Badge today.

But let me backtrack for a little bit of history here. In 2013, Southlake resident Emily Galpin and Keller resident Michelle Sager brought together a small group of women to brainstorm ideas for a non-profit that would Among its objectives, Girl Scouts at School take nature programming to kids and adults seeks to provide adequate programming for wherever they are. Emily has a long history of girls whose economic status puts them at risk non-profit and volunteer work in Amarillo and of low self-esteem, personal safety, and family Southlake, and Michelle is a longtime Scouts crises, among other dangers.

Creating “We do not have the opportunity except one a mobile rather than a location-based agency time a year to take girls to any type of camp in would help us offer programming using the which they learn about nature,” she says. And natural resources wherever clients live. So, of the 4,000 girls this program serves, “we NatureReach was born. normally only take 50 to 75 girls, so you see how many girls are left out.

It’s the Golden Ratio. The most important mathematical formula in the universe. In mathematics, two quantities are in the golden ratio if their ratio is the same as the ratio of their sum to the larger of the two quantities. This ratio is found in nature, aesthetics, architecture, music, biology and astronomy. Some fascinating golden ratio occurrences are the pyramids, sunflowers, the human heartbeat, brain waves, the location of your bellybutton, and the planets (the orbit of the earth: the orbit of venus = the golden ratio). And now the golden ratio is the logo for our arts festival and gives us clearance to have “Fibonacci Fun” with our layouts.

SCULPTURE NASHER SCULPTURE CENTER ANNOUNCES

GIUSEPPE PENONE: Being the River, Repeating the Forest First U.S. museum exhibition in over 30 years highlights the career of one of the founders of the Arte Povera movement

In the month of May 1969 I entered the forest of wood and began walking at a slow tempo, reflective and surprised, attentive to every small form enclosed within the fluid wood. It was then that this cathedral rose up from the silent world of matter, to enter into the world of sculpture and the poetic use of reality.

NOV 2015

SCULPTURE NASHER SCULPTURE CENTER ANNOUNCES A MAJOR EXHIBITION of the work of the influential Italian artist, Giuseppe Penone, in an exhibition called Being the River, Repeating the Forest which opens September 19, 2015 and runs through January 10, 2016. Italian artist Giuseppe Penone has played an integral role in the development of art over the past five decades. From his conceptual and performative works of the 1960s and 70s to the large-scale sculptural installations of the past ten years, Penone has explored intimate, sensate, and metaphysical connections with nature. Working in a stunning variety of materials—including clay, wood, stone, metal, plaster, resin, acacia thorns—the artist makes palpable and present the analogous processes of nature and art: carving large trees along their growth patterns to reveal the sapling contained within; elaborating the interior space of his closed hand into a large-scale sculpture that both contains his hand and enlarges the space it contains; rendering the swirling mists of his breath in the cold in tactile clay forms that contain the impression of his body. The exhibition at the Nasher Sculpture Center will feature a selection of work in a variety of materials highlighting the development of Penone’s ideas over the course of his career. “In his exceptionally various and nuanced work, Giuseppe Penone shows us that within the recognizable forms of trees, clay, and stone is housed an immense amount of information, both about specific materials and the human body’s relationship to them,” says Director Jeremy Strick. “In many ways, Penone’s work is a lesson in seeing, highlighting the history of a material’s experience and subsequently drawing connections to our own human one. Penone’s exhibition at the Nasher will provide an intensive encounter with a wide range of the artist’s meaningful, process-rich work.” The exhibition will feature close to twenty works from Penone’s long career, including Patate (Potatoes), 1977, for which the artist used molds of his face to shape the growth of the tuber, and Soffio di foglie (Breath of Leaves), 1979, wherein Penone uses his body and breath to carve and impress his form into a massive pile of leaves. The title of the exhibition comes from two series of works by Penone: Being the River, which documents the artist’s attempt to carve by hand a rock found at the source of a river to replicate a rock found at the mouth of the river carved by the ceaseless flow of the water; and Repeating the Forest, the aforementioned series of squared wooden beams carved

ARTE POVERA:

Arte Povera (poor art) is a modern art movement (1967-1972) whose name was coined by Italian Art Critic Germano Celant when artists began to challenge the values of established institutions of government, industry and culture. Some trends and concepts of the movement are:

• a return to simple concepts and messages • the body and behavior are art • the everyday becomes meaningful • explore the notion of space and language • Ground Zero, no culture, no art system, Art = Life

Mouth, lip, touch, sensuousness, sucker. Thorn, scratch, wound, pain circumscribed, precise, nerve ending. A fabric of thorns, of nerve endings. Pressure of the lips on a surface, primordial sensibility, animal, first knowledge, first culture first language. Lips of thorns. Deciphering the points of contact between the lips and a surface. Lips, wholeness, spatial universe. The lips cancel dimensions, proportions, the universe is contained by the lips. A fishbone sucked, a hair, a nipple, occupy the immense space of our mind, the universe of the touch. A universe lacking perspective, a universe of sensuousness, of desire, that collects everything in the uncertain space of the lips, uncertain because the space that bounds the inside with the outside, the self with the other. The space of fusion of total osmosis. Surface that envelops, caresses the brain and the images that our thoughts produce.

SCULPTURE along their growth lines to reveal the sapling at the core, a project that Penone began in 1969 and continues to this day. The two series are emblematic of Penone’s wider oeuvre, connecting the creative forces of the artist with those of nature and underlining the intimate, complex connection between humans and the world we inhabit. Giuseppe Penone was born in 1947 in Garessio, Italy, and currently lives and works in Turin and Paris. He was one of the younger founding members of the influential Italian art movement Arte Povera in the late 1960s and early 1970s. He studied at the Accademia di Belle Arte in Turin, Italy. Giuseppe Penone's earliest exhibitions include the Museum of Modern Art, New York (1970), Kunstmuseum Luzern, Lucerne (1977); Staatliche Kunsthalle, Baden-Baden (1978); and Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam (1980). More recently he has exhibited at the Kunstmuseum Winterthur, Switzerland (2013), the Whitechapel Gallery, London (2012), the Museo d’Arte Moderna di Bologna, Bologna, Italy (2008) and had a retrospective at the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris (2004). Short listed for the Turner Prize in 1989, Penone has exhibited in Documenta V (1972), VII (1982), VIII (1987) and XIII (2012) and at the Venice Biennale (2007, 1995, 1986, 1980, and 1978).

THE TOP 5 REASONS to visit the GAYLORD TEXAN's Texas-sized Winter Wonderland! Beginning November 12th continuing through January 3rd, Gaylord Texan Resort’s 12th annual Lone Star Christmas event, presented by Noerr will offer a variety of holiday activities, live entertainment, and grand displays to celebrate the season. Here are 5 reasons to check it out!

ICE! FEATURING “CHRISTMAS AROUND THE WORLD” ICE! is like no other event around. Each year 40 master ice artisans from Harbin, China travel halfway around the world to Grapevine to carve 2 MILLION POUNDS of ice into magical holiday scenes, brilliant characters, an ice bar (21+) and five ice slides.

TEXAS-SIZED CHRISTMAS WONDERLAND IN THE ATRIUM! This year, the resort invites visitors inside to enjoy a delightful winter wonderland featuring: - 2 million holiday lights - 2 million pounds of hand-carved ice - 2 million pounds of real Texas snow 3 - a 54-foot-tall Christmas tree - Magical miniature train sets - 15-foot-tall Nutcrackers - 2,300 decorated wreaths - 5,600 feet of garland - 15,000 festive ornaments

GINGERBREAD DECORATING The holiday season just got a whole lot sweeter! You can choose from five decorating options ranging from a gingerbread house to a gingerbread train set. You can ice, sprinkle and gum drop to your heart's content.

THE ELF ON THE SHELF® SCAVENGER HUNT! Guests will need to put on their thinking caps for the Elf on the Shelf Scavenger Hunt, an interactive adventure through the resort. Ten of Santa’s scout elf helpers have landed at Gaylord Texan, but they won’t be able to fly to the North Pole until they have a name. By solving puzzles and finding all of the elves hiding around the hotel, kids will reveal the elves’ names so they can report back to Santa!

SANTA'S WILD WORKSHOP SNOW TUBING It is going to snow all season long at Gaylord Texan! Made fresh each morning, our 8-lane giant snow tubing hill is constructed with 1.5 million pounds of real Texas snow. Grab a tube and hang on for downhill fun!

ALEXANDER GORLIZKI: VARIABLE DIMENSIONS “PREPARE TO COME UNHINGED” as artist Alexander Gorlizki debuts tantalizing Variable Dimensions exhibition at the Crow Collection of Asian Art

NOV 2015

southlake ARTS

VISUAL ART Influenced by the arts of India, Gorlizki defies with juxtapositions of elements garnered by his roving eye from world cultures; site-specific installation features paintings, sculpture, and video, plus carpets, wallpapers and textiles. WHAT: Come experience a fascinating floor-to ceiling feast for the eyes as the Crow Collection of Asian Art presents Alexander Gorlizki: Variable Dimensions, a site-specific installation featuring paintings, sculptures, video, and the applied arts – carpets, wallpapers and textiles. The exhibition is on view to the public until March 20, 2016, in the museum’s Garden Gallery on level one. WHO: Gorlizki, born in 1967 and working from studios in Brooklyn, New York, and Jaipur, India, is known primarily for works on paper. This exhibition, Alexander Gorlizki: Variable Dimensions, refers to an entity without fixed boundaries. It is shifting and not easy to define. It also suggests layers or multi-faceted experiences, imaginative worlds that can be viewed in different and occasionally contrasting terms: Western art and Asian art, the spiritual and the prosaic, cartoon imagery and a rarified, poetic sensibility.

What’s the connection to Asian Art? All the work is informed by and/or partially fabricated in India. Rather than being stylistically Indian, it refers to an artist’s relationship with India. Gorlizki crosses boundaries without a second glance. In addition to his own studio practice, he has worked with embroiderers, spectacle makers, forgers and fakers, cobblers, knitters, tailors, watchmakers, stone masons, manicurists, designers, musicians and film-makers. Within the exhibition, visitors will find art in the form of embroidered handkerchiefs, plant-like hand-mirrors alongside exquisitely crafted paintings with obsessive floral and geometric patterns, most familiar in the Islamic arts. Prepare to come unhinged, as the artist moves across formats, media and sensations. Prepare to laugh at the absurdity of one’s need to rationalize, narrate, systematize, interpret. Gorlizki will defy with juxtapositions of elements garnered by his roving eye from world cultures, with particular fondness for the visual vocabularies of Mughal painting, Central Asian stitchery, and biomorphic symbolism.

OAK STREET - PUMPKIN

IT'S PI E SEASON It’s pie season. Thanksgiving and Christmas lend themselves to that delicious dessert that seems to last all season and for good reason! Pie is delicious, long lasting, and you never can quite seem to eat too much of it! When we thought of pie, we thought of these “Pie Locals” where we would go to get our favorite slice. Fair warning before the holidays, Oak Street Pie and Emporium have been taking orders for Thanksgiving & Christmas since midsummer. You can still order these delicious pies but they will run out. Don’t wait to the last minute to make your pie plans, even Central Market runs out of pie on Thanksgiving.

WINE

Oh, Paulo!

The Paulo 2011 from Messina Hof Winery

NOV 2015

southlake ARTS

e featured this wine early in the year, and after having visited with Paul & Merrill Bonarrigo at this year’s Grapefest I decided we needed to revisit it with its proper backstory.

Paul is a figurehead in the Texas wine industry and has been tied to Grapefest since its 2nd year (it’s in its 29th year this year). In fact, they had been looking for land to bring the winery to Grapevine in the late 90s, but once word got out that Messina Hof was interested in that land a bidding war ensued and as Paul would say, “The Good Lord had a plan!”. Now the winery is in the remodeled Wallis hotel on Main Street in Grapevine. Messina Hof has a rich history that we will go into in later issues, but a key point to remember is that Messina Hof was founded in 1977 and was the 2nd vineyard in the state. Now there are over 400. A lot of you take trips to Sonoma for the wine tours. Paul worked there in the 60s and if you would go into a steak restaurant or hotel and ask for a California wine, they would say snarkily “No, we only carry French & Italian wines!”

The Texas wine industry, according to Paul, is currently where California was in the 60s: Texas wines aren’t yet internationally recognized and publicized. But that doesn’t mean that they aren’t as good, if not better, than some of the best in the world! The Bonarrigos took a wine cruise to Bordeaux earlier this year with 20 or so ‘Francophiles’. These are folks who prefer the French wine from the source - the source in this case being the famous Château Haut-Brion. The Francophiles wanted to get the Premier Grand Cru Classé (first cut) of the wine, which is pricey to the tune of $4500 a bottle. On the way home, Paul organized a blind tasting of two separate Château Haut-Brion Premier Grand Cru Classés, and included this Paulo as one of the two. He asked the tasters to write down their comments. 18/20 Francophiles preferred the Paulo. The comment on the Paulo was “this Château Haut-Brion is one of the finest Haut-Brion’s in history!”

Paul Bonarrigo

And on the actual Haut-Brion the comment was “this Haut-Brion is fair.” The Paulo 2011 only has a few of the 2688 bottles that were made. Get your case from Messina Hof in Grapevine before they run out!
