LETTER FROM
THE EDITOR How great it feels to be returning to Dallas this April with the second annual edition of Whitewaller Dallas! We’re so excited to have the wonderful Tina Craig participating again as guest editor as well. This year, the fair returns with a slew of surrounding events that start with the MTV:REDEFINE gala and auction. We checked in with Kenny Goss and Joyce Goss about this successful philanthropic event, as well as the Billy Childish show on view at The Goss-Michael Foundation. Dallas’s museums and institutions are some of our favorites in the country, and so it was a pleasure speaking with the Nasher Sculpture Center’s director, Jeremy Strick, about the second Nasher Prize laureate, Pierre Hugyhe. The Dallas Museum of Art has a new director, Agustín Arteaga, curating his first exhibition for the museum, a survey of avant-garde Mexican art from 1900 to 1950. If you’re in town for the fair, it’s worth a trip to the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, where you can find new pattern paintings by Katherine Bernhardt. Over in West Dallas, you’ll find the city’s emerging art scene, with artists’ studios, hip restaurants and shops, and Erin Cluley Gallery. And as with every issue of Whitewaller, don’t miss our Insider Tips section. There you’ll find out where those who truly know Dallas—Christen Wilson, Moll Anderson, Chris Byrne, Cindy and Howard Rachofsky, Justine Ludwig, Muriel Quancard, Rob Teeters, Terri Provencal, James Cope, and Brian Bolke—go for the best meals, sips, shows, and after-hours activities.

LETTER FROM
THE GUEST EDITOR What an exciting year it has been for both the art and fashion communities, with the fairs, shows, and cultural events taking place all over the world. As we gather together again for the always-anticipated Dallas Art Fair, it is with great pleasure that I represent Whitewaller as guest editor for the second year in a row. In this issue, we bring you several handpicked “Insiders”—a great group of individuals who truly capture Dallas’s diverse and culturally growing scene. We lead you to some of the best hotels, bars, restaurants, and shopping destinations, in addition to the top exhibitions and events happening throughout the busy week. We couldn’t be more thrilled to bring you along, so mark your calendars and prepare for a fun-filled week of art, friends, and events! In these pages, you’ll also find my avatar icon next to establishments that I can recommend firsthand. To quickly touch upon a favorite, the farro bowl with tart black cherries at the new Mirador within Forty Five Ten on Main is worth having time and time again. (And be sure to stop by for a unique shopping experience, too—the boutique’s dressing rooms have adjustable lighting to fit your occasion!) I’m also ever loyal to the exquisite offerings at Bistro 31, Midnight Rambler, and The Joule. For the ninth edition of the Dallas Art Fair, you can be sure to find me attending an array of art events happening all over the city. Dallas, while true to its diverse and growing local community, is once again welcoming fellow art lovers and friends back to the city for a fun week ahead—and we couldn’t be more delighted. — Tina Craig, Guest Editor

JEREMY STRICK
ON THE SECOND NASHER PRIZE
LAUREATE, PIERRE HUYGHE By Katy Donoghue The second annual Nasher Prize will be awarded, to Pierre Huyghe, this month in Dallas. The international award, first given to Doris Salcedo, recognizes artists who are expanding the boundaries of the medium of sculpture. It has helped legitimize Dallas as an international focal point in the contemporary art community, through artist lectures, a new graduate symposium, and family programming. Whitewaller spoke with the director of the Nasher Sculpture Center, Jeremy Strick, about this year’s laureate and elevating the cultural landscape of Dallas. WHITEWALLER: Last year was the inaugural year for the Nasher Prize, awarded then to Doris Salcedo. This year the winner is Pierre Huyghe, who will be award the prize in April in Dallas. How does the artist represent the mission of the prize, which asks what are the possibilities and limits (if any) of sculpture? JEREMY STRICK: Huyghe’s expansive view of sculpture so wonderfully embodies the goal of the Nasher Prize, which is to champion the greatest artistic minds of our time. His incorporation of living systems, films, situations, and objects into his sculpture highlights the complexities between art and life and challenges the very limits of artmaking. And at this moment, when the environment and culture are so under threat, Huyghe’s imaginative, uncanny approach to the serious ecological and social issues facing our planet ties his oeuvre to the ancient purposes of sculpture: His work possesses a shamanistic quality which tips the mimetic into life.
an artist—contained ecosystems, full of dynamism, conflict, beauty, and chance. Once of these will be on view here at the Nasher through April—an aquarium that was previously on view at the museum as part of Piero Golia’s immersive work Chalet Dallas. In it, a hermit crab has an arrow crab for a companion and nemesis. WW: On view during the award ceremony for the prize at the Nasher Sculpture Center will be the “Richard Serra: Prints” exhibition. How do you see the artist’s prints relating to his sculpture, which he’s best known for? JS: These remarkable prints by Richard Serra carry so many of the powerful elements found within his sculptures. The works generate a compelling relationship between the solid black forms within the prints and the viewer’s bodily experience of them, and open up a dialogue with the dense metal surfaces of the artist’s sculptures within the Nasher Collection and beyond.
WW: Is there a particular recent work of Huyghe’s that you think especially demonstrates this mission? JS: Huyghe’s aquariums are really wonderful examples of his full project as

THE GOSS-MICHAEL FOUNDATION
ON MTV RE:DEFINE & BILLY CHILDISH By Eliza Jordan This year, The Goss-Michael Foundation is continuing its support of the annual MTV RE:DEFINE auction and gala to benefit the MTV Staying Alive Foundation and Dallas Contemporary on March 24. To learn more about this year’s event, and what will be on view at the Dallasbased foundation during the art fair this April, Whitewaller spoke with co-founder Kenny Goss and executive director Joyce Goss. WHITEWALLER: Last year during the Dallas Art Fair, you exhibited work by Paula Crown. Do you know yet what will be on view at the foundation during the fair this year? KENNY GOSS & JOYCE GOSS: This year we will exhibit new works by English painter Billy Childish.We feel he will provide a terrific addition to the Dallas Art Fair, as he is an artist and so much more—an author, poet, photographer, filmmaker, singer, and guitarist. Since the late 1970s, Childish has been prolific in creating music, writing, as well as visual art. The exhibition will open on March 22 and will be on view during the entire run of the Dallas Art Fair. WW: The MTV RE:DEFINE annual gala benefits the MTV Staying Alive Foundation

and Dallas Contemporary in both artistic and philanthropic ways. How has the Dallas art community been supportive of these initiatives? KG & JG: As a co-founder of MTV RE:DEFINE in 2011, it’s been a thrill and an honor to continue as the hosts of the event and have this a nnual a rt auction and gala grow to be one of the premier fundraising events in Dallas. We are fortunate to live in a community that is both extremely generous and one that champions both the visual and performing arts. In the past five years, MTV RE:DEFINE has raised $8 million. We’ve received support from our guests and sponsors along with local artists who donate original works for the auction. It’s truly a team effort. WW: We see that artists like Enoc Perez, Damien Hirst, Petra Cortright, Tracey Emin, and Dan Colen have participated. What are some works of note this year? G & JG: Our honoree, Eric Fischl, is K donating an exceptional work, which will be the key item in our live auction. Renowned artists including Francesco Clemente, Wilhelm Sasnal, Bruce Weber, Emilia and Ilya Kabakov, and Cerith Wyn Evans have also kindly donated original pieces of art.

KATHERINE BERNHARDT’S
PATTERN PAINTINGS AT THE MODERN IN FORT WORTH By Katy Donoghue Katherine Bernhardt’s paintings are pleasing to the eye. Her pattern paintings mix images of everyday objects like a Windex bottle and cigarettes, or the Pink Panther with jungle foliage. Her work, which is on view at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth from April 8 to July 9, elicits delight with its vibrancy. Whitewaller spoke with the New York– based artist about the excitement of colors in combination. WHITEWALLER: Your pattern paintings are influenced by Dutch wax printing on African fabrics. What struck you about them? KATHERINE BERNHARDT: I’ve always been interested in textiles and Dutch wax printing specifically because of the humorous juxtapositions that are found in them, for example, Obama with toothpaste, or sunglasses with fruit. I like the funny mixes. My pattern paintings are also based off of some graffiti that I saw near Union Square while on a walk one day. The wall was white with different objects on it. The graffiti contained an ice cream cone, a rainbow, a smiley face, a dollar sign, and some other things. I loved seeing those things mixed together there, so I sort of adapted that idea of mixed objects and made it my own.
Aquafresh colors are very fresh and beautiful—cool blue and red. WW: You’ve said, “I think the best painters don’t intellectualize their own art—they just make stuff.” Do you want a viewer of your work to approach it that way, too—to not intellectualize it and just enjoy the patterns? KB: Yes. I’m not a writer or a philosopher; I’m a painter. I love to paint. And I make stuff. Most of my work is intuitive. People like to put their own spin on it, whether it’s commenting on the environment . . . or consumerism . . . which you can find in it, but it’s also just about the patterns and color. It’s mostly about color and color theory. Colors are exciting. I think that great colors and excellent color combinations are actually just that—great colors and excellent color combinations.
WW: What are some of the more satisfying objects to paint, given their shape and color, for you lately? KB: I like to paint objects that could be found at your corner deli, like bananas and Duracell, or papayas and sunglasses, or Windex and toothpaste. Formally, these are all shapes whether they are rectangle or circular or triangular. They are objects that can be fitted into a pattern on a canvas. They are all fun to paint. Papaya is good because it’s a huge orange-color shape. Duracell is good because it has neat metallic colors in it. I am especially enjoying painting the toothbrush with toothpaste right now. The

GALLERIST ERIN CLULEY
MAKES HER MARK ON
WEST DALLAS By Katy Donoghue Erin Cluley opened her eponymous gallery in 2014 in West Dallas. During her previous position as director of exhibitions at Dallas Contemporary, she had worked on projects in the area with artists like Shepard Fairey and Nicole Miller. Now, more than a dozen artists have set up their studios in and around Fabrication Street in the neighborhood. Representing artists from Dallas and the East Coast, Cluley also focuses on public art programming, broadening the gallery’s audience and engaging more deeply with the local community. We spoke with her about presenting a solo show of work by Nic Nicosia this week, as well as what will be on view in her booth at the fair.
WW: What are you looking forward to most during Dallas Art Week in April this year? EC: Dallas Contemporary is opening a trio of exhibitions that will not disappoint— all female artists. In this day and age, whether the work is politically charged or not, the female voice is more important than ever.
WHITEWALLER: Can you tell us about what will be on view at the gallery during the fair in April? ERIN CLULEY: Nic Nicosia will be opening a solo exhibition titled “at home—on time.” I’ve admired Nic’s work and career for many years and am thrilled to have brought him onto my program last year. His show will be a presentation of all new photography—which Nic is historically known for—alongside new sculpture and drawing. WW: You’ll be participating in the fair as well. Are there any new works you’re excited about presenting? EC: Francisco Moreno recently produced a body of work in Guadalajara at the amazing Cerámica Suro factory. We are excited to feature a few of those works, which are made from custom-cut volcanic rock and a gold luster glaze. Alison Jardine is new to my program and will be featuring a cast-concrete work. She is interested in our effect on the environment, and her beautiful cast-concrete works act as a future layer in the strata of our time.

TAYLOR TOMASI HILL TALKS FASHION, DALLAS,
AND FORTY FIVE TEN By Eliza Jordan A Dallas Art Fair first-timer this year, Taylor Tomasi Hill, the VP creative and women’s fashion director, is busy selecting new and special styles for stores that will add to the everyday uniform. In a recent conversation with Whitewaller, she told us she’s got her eye on Miu Miu shoes, handbags from The Row and pieces from French rising star Simon Porte Jacquemus for spring. Below, we learn more about her return to Dallas and her role at Forty Five Ten. WHITEWALLER: In 2000, when Forty Five Ten opened in your hometown of Dallas, you were still in college. Last year, you moved back to help with the store’s expansion. What sets the Dallas fashion community apart from anywhere else?
WW: The store has a way of merging art and fashion, and the events around the Dallas Art Fair are a great chance to take risks and stand out with fashion. Are there any spring collections or accessories that you think might appeal to fairgoers in Dallas? TTH: There’s a very architectural aspect to the clothes from Maison Rabih Kayrouz. The designer was born in Beirut but trained at Chanel and Dior and has based his house in Paris. Each piece is like wearing art. The feather pieces from Prada are ladylike and feminine, but still make a statement. The ruffle tops and dresses from Brock Collection stand out. Co is great for everyday statement pieces—totally wearable but still wow!
TAYLOR TOMASI HILL: I’m continually surprised by how fashion-adventurous the Dallas woman is. Our customer is so well traveled and cultured. She knows what’s out there and appreciates quality and good design. WW: Forty Five Ten on Main, the new four-level flagship store spanning 37,000 square feet, recently opened in November. How has the community received the new store so far? TTH: I think people are surprised by how easy it is to get downtown. Once they see the store and experience the vibrancy and energy here, there’s a whole mental shift. They actually look forward to spending the day downtown—shopping, having lunch, and meeting friends. WW: What are some key pieces that you try to always have accessible at Forty Five Ten for all types of women? TTH: Denim! I want Forty Five Ten to be a place where you can find your elevated, everyday uniform. Every piece has a little something special going on.

MATT MCCALLISTER’S SEASONAL CULINARY
ARTISTRY AT FT33 By Eliza Jordan At FT33, dishes are works of culinary art, and guests can explore an imaginative menu full of fresh ingredients, all sourced from within a 300-mile radius. With an open kitchen concept, chef Matt McCallister is changing the way Dallas does New American fare. Whitewaller caught up with McCallister to hear about FT33’s ongoing guest chef dinner series, the restaurant’s introduction of seasonal cocktails, and the Dallas food scene. WHITEWALLER: You opened FT33 in October 2012. What kind of culinary experience did you want to create at FT33? MATT McCALLISTER: You know, it’s funny to think back to what we were doing when I first opened FT33. To be honest, I had no clue what I was doing, but I knew I wanted to do something different. I feel that the food we are cooking right now is the best it has ever been. WW: Can you tell us a bit about your guest chef dinner series?
WW: Is there an ingredient you find yourself preoccupied with lately or a personal favorite dish on the current menu? MM: Fermented shiitake mushrooms are pretty awesome. The chicken liver mousse and rye tart or the pickled gulf oysters— it’s hard to decide which one I like more currently. WW: For those in town during Dallas Art Fair, what must they try at FT33? MM: Whatever we are offering at the moment, because we never really revisit old dishes and are always working on new ideas. On the beverage side, this is the first year we have implemented 100 percent seasonality and sourcing for our cocktail program, so that means no citrus outside of the Texas winter citrus season. We have been playing with making cocktails with unripe fruit juices. We also make kombuchas with homemade vinegar and local sumac. They are a must-try.
MM: Usually the third Monday of the month, I welcome in a chef from around the country whom I admire and respect for their role and influence on modern American cooking. We collaborate on an eight-course meal and try to have a lot of fun with how we present the experience. We have done all monochromatic dinners, all focusing on one animal, no electricity, and for the one coming up we are just not planning anything until the day before! WW: How would you describe the Dallas food scene? MM: It’s constantly growing, and the diners are more receptive to being adventurous and trying new things—you just have to know how to deliver it.

GABRIEL DAWE
CREATES “PLEXUS” INSTALLATION
FOR THE FAIRMONT DALLAS’S ARTIST IN RESIDENCE PROGRAM By Eliza Jordan The Dallas-based, Mexico City–born artist Gabriel Dawe is known for creating installations of colored thread—extending rainbowlike diagonally across a room, cascading down a wall in a gathered bunch, or grouped in a multitude of loops that together create a textured gradient. For those in town for the Dallas Art Fair, this week offers a chance to see Dawe working on a new piece at The Fairmont Dallas for its artists’ residency. The program launched in 2010, providing a three-month residency to produce a work to be displayed in either a public space or within the hotel. Whitewaller spoke with Dawe about the installation he’s creating for The Fairmont Dallas, a new piece from his “Plexus” series—a body of work made in response to architectural spaces. WHITEWALLER: Growing up in Mexico City, you were taught not to play with textiles. Can you tell us about why you were interested in defying that notion in your artistic practice, challenging the ideas surrounding gender roles and identity?
GD: I’m certainly not unique in creating tools and techniques to create my work; I believe all artists in one way or another are constantly innovating techniques, tools, and materials in order to achieve their vision. [But] I’m definitely very proud of my resourcefulness and ingenuity to be able to create this tool, which was the solution to a very practical issue. WW: As a Dallas local, how would you describe the artist community there? GD: I think it’s a very vibrant community filled with wonderful, passionate people. Given that I travel so much for what I do, I feel lucky that every now and then I’m able to go to an opening and catch up with friends. I’m very grateful to many people in the community because they have been very supportive, and they’re constantly cheering me on.
GABRIEL DAWE: It was very frustrating to my eight-year-old self. I started challenging those norms a few years later, making bracelets with embroidery floss. It was a way of standing up to machismo, but in a way that felt safe enough, since I wasn’t actually working with needles. I’m not sure why I felt that was any different from embroidery, but since I wasn’t stitching flowers like my sister was, I thought it would not be as offensive in my grandmother’s eyes. As a grown man, I decided to finally pick up needle and thread, and consciously and overtly challenge those stereotypical machismo constructs I grew up with. WW: Is it true that you had to develop an entirely new tool in order to create your large-scale, site-specific installations of thread?

EL MODERNISMO
MEXICANO
Agustín Arteaga curates his first exhibition for the DMA, a blockbuster survey of Mexican art from 1900 to 1950. By Steve Carter, as reviewed for PATRON Magazine. It’s only been six months since Dr. Agustín Arteaga took the reins as the Eugene McDermott Director of the Dallas Museum of Art, but the Mexico City–born and educated Arteaga has taken to the job with a welcome international élan. Next month, opening on March 12 and running through July 16, México 1900 – 1950: Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo, José Clemente Orozco, and the Avant- Garde marks the first DMA exhibition to be organized by Arteaga, an auspicious curatorial beginning for his DMA tenure. The survey show includes painting, sculpture, drawing, and photography from the crème de la crème of 20th century Mexican artists—some well-known stateside, and others less so. In a press release, Arteaga offers, “México 1900–1950 showcases not only the greats of Mexican art, but also those who may have been eclipsed on the international level by names like Rivera and Kahlo. The
exhibition helps broaden our understanding of what modern Mexican art means, and diversify the artistic narratives attributed to the country.” The DMA is the exhibition’s only venue in the U.S.; it opened in Paris at the Grand Palais last October and ran through January, and was a major hit. Unlike the Paris iteration, the DMA exhibition will feature murals by Diego Rivera, Rufino Tamayo, José Clemente Orozco, Miguel Covarrubias, Saturnino Herrán, and Roberto Montenegro—a rare opportunity to view these giants of the genre under one roof. The 200+ works that comprise the show include a large number by female artists: painters Nahui Olin, Leonora Carrington, and Olga Costa, photographer Tina Modotti, multidisciplinary artist Rosa Rolanda, the iconic Frida Kahlo, and others. Besides the muralists, other male artists here are painters Ángel Zárraga, David Alfaro
Diego Rivera, Juchitán River (Río Juchitán), 1953–1955, oil on canvas on wood, overall: 60 x 362.5 in. (152 x 920.1 cm), Mexico, INBA, Museo Nacional de Arte © 2017 Banco de México Diego Rivera Frida Kahlo Museums Trust, Mexico, D.F. / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York.

José Clemente Orozco, The “Soldaderas” (Las soldaderas), 1926, oil on canvas, overall: 31 x 37.5 in. (81 x 95.5 cm), Mexico, INBA, collection Museo de Arte Moderno © 2017 Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York / SOMAAP, Mexico City.
Siqueiros, Manuel Rodriguez Lozano, Gabriel Fernández Ledesma, abstract sculptor Germán Cueto, and many more. The exhibition is organized thematically, connecting the dots between the international avant-garde, Mexican modernism, the prevalent influence of the Mexican Revolution, and the crosspollination of Mexican and American artists. Another DMA bonus is that several works of Mexican modernism that are part of the museum’s permanent collection will be on view along with the exhibition. Man (El Hombre), the monumental mural by Rufino Tamayo; Mexican Adam and Eve (Adam y Eve Mexicanos), by Alfredo Ramos
Martinez, the “Father of Mexican Modernism”; and Genesis, the Gift of Life (Génesis, el Don de la Vida), an epic glass mosaic mural by Miguel Covarrubias, are among them. Another of Miguel Covarrubias’s featured works is Clark Gable vs. Edward, Prince of Wales (gouache and ink on paper, published in Vanity Fair, 1932), a caricature-ish “what-if” narrative of a fanciful encounter—Gable, heart-throb icon of America movies, meeting Edward VIII, notoriously womanizing heir to the British throne. Covarrubias was a renowned painter, illustrator, and caricaturist, and he spent much of his life in the United States.
His palette in Clark Gable vs. Edward, Prince of Wales is strikingly American, but there’s also the undercurrent of Social Realism that infused Mexican art at the time. Indeed, Covarrubias’s works are emblematic of the cross-fertilization of art in Mexico and the United States, a central theme of the show. Frida Kahlo’s Itzicuintli Dog with Me (Perro Itzicuintli conmigo) is an exhibition highlight, a haunting selfportrait dating to 1938, just before the artist’s solo debut in New York. The largely monochromatic canvas is a case study of the rich possibilities of grey, and both subjects—Kahlo and her tiny pet—address the viewer with patient resignation, regal disdain, and vague curiosity. While not as surrealistically oriented as many of her self-portraits, there’s a compellingly genuine reveal here, a study in solitude, a portrait of the artist as “other.” Another highlight is Diego Rivera’s Juchitán River (Río Juchitán), 1953–1955, a 5 x 30foot four-panel polyptych that’s a prime example of the muralist’s oeuvre. The work was inspired by Rivera’s trip to the Isthmus of Tehuantepec in the 1920s, and his mythologized depiction of life on the Juchitán is a microcosmic cultural window. Although he’s best known for his political murals, José Clemente Orozco’s The Soldaderas (Las soldaderas), 1926, is an oil on canvas work with a clear political context. Soldaderas were female aids to male soldiers, essential participants in the Mexican Revolution. Orozco’s gestural, nearly kinetic painting tragically captures the exodus of a band of the fighters. Jorge González Camarena was also well known as a muralist, but his The Bathers (Las Bañistas), 1937, is an easel work. With its Art Deco figuration, dramatic diagonal lines, and “cross” insignias, it casts a strangely prescient martial atmosphere, suggesting wars and rumors of wars, in stark contrast to his subject matter. Agustín Arteaga’s vision with this exhibition hints at a bright future, and he adds, “Throughout my career I’ve been guided by the belief that art is a critical tool in fostering cross-cultural understanding.” Here’s to the new DMA and México 1900 – 1950: Diego Rivera, Frida Kahlo, José Clemente Orozco, and the Avant-Garde.

I am a regular at Local Press + Brew. I am hooked on their iced matcha almond lattes and swear by their charcoal lemonade, playfully called The Day After. I am a big fan of Tacos Mariachi in Trinity Groves. Whenever friends come from out of town I bring them there. Mirador, the restaurant in the new Forty Five Ten, occupies a beautiful space, a perfect place for a long, leisurely lunch.
WHERE TO SEE ART
I am drawn to the more alternative art spaces in Dallas. Beefhaus, The Reading Room, and the Box Company are among my favorites. I enjoy journeying out to the Kimbell in Fort Worth to see stunning historical works heralding from all around the world and across time periods. Michelangelo’s The Torment of Saint Anthony alone is worth the trip. 
WHERE TO HAVE FUN AND RELAX
The Spa at The Joule is gorgeous. There is no better place to relax in the city. Alternatively, Dallas has a stunning arboretum. I love going for walks there, and they change the park according to the seasons. The Texas Theatre is a great place to see film and music.

Mia’s Tex-Mex is always on point. I take most artists we do shows with here and they all love it, especially the Europeans. Don’t miss the brisket tacos. Double Wide is a great dive bar near The Power Station that we hit after our openings. You’ll recognize it by the whirling tornado on top of the building.

Agustín Arteaga, the new director at DMA, is bringing Latin American art to the fore with “México 1900–1950.” Nasher Sculpture Center offers the finest modern and contemporary sculpture in the world amid its extraordinary garden and Renzo Piano–designed museum. NorthPark Center is unlike any other mall with its museum-worthy collection. Gallery hopping is a must: Dragon, Monitor, Levee, and Payne streets; and outliers Kirk Hopper, The Power Station, Talley Dunn, and Valley House. 
WHERE TO HAVE FUN AND RELAX
We don’t have mountains or oceans in Dallas, but we do have great parties, and plenty of them. From late nights at our museums to gallery openings and soirées of all kinds, the people of Dallas love to open their doors to new friends.

In unexpected places, like the lobby of The Joule, where you can see works by Tony Cragg, Roger Hiorns, and Richard Phillips; Daniel Butren’s recently installed work in the entrance of Thanksgiving Tower; or across Elm Street at Forty Five Ten on Main with pieces by Tracey Emin, Catherine Opie, and Juergen Teller. 
WHERE TO HAVE FUN AND RELAX
When the weather is good (very rare), the Katy Trail is Dallas’s High Line, a great place to walk the dog, jog, or bike. The other 350 days a year, spin is turning into the place to sweat and socialize. I like Terlingo Cycle. The Spa at The Joule is definitely one of the best spas in the U.S.—bar none.

Steven Parrino, 3 Units Aluminum Death Shifter, 1992, © Steven Parrino, courtesy of the Parrino Family Estate and Gagosian Gallery.
A keen awareness of painting; its history, meaning, spatial possibilities and limitations led Parrino to an elegant resolution—the disruption of the canvas itself. Engaging in a post-punk abstraction, the physicality of his work highlights iconoclasts and anti-culture, deviants and superheroes alongside the trajectory of Minimalism. These “misshaped” canvases painted in viscous enamel or lacquer, such were in part muscular, performative responses to the refined aesthetics of abstract precedents. Dancing on Graves is Steven Parrino's first institutional show in the United States. The Power Station will be presenting painting, sculpture, video, and works on paper.

GRANGE HALL Whitewaller recommends: The Snob Sandwich for lunch.
Grange Hall is one of the top spots, both for shopping and dining. Since 2004, owners Rajan Patel and Jeffrey Lee have been dedicated to offering its community a discerning level of luxury—creating an inspiring, beautiful, and slightly mysterious space. Grange Hall is an exquisite staple in Dallas for those looking to find something unique. Whitewaller insiders agree, it is hands-down the best spot for lunch. And we suggest working off those calories by perusing the store’s collections of designer jewelry, accessories, home decor, apothecary items, epicurean delights, and floral arrangements for all occasions. The Snob Sandwich or Snob Salad are perfect for lunch out with friends. The caviar pasta is a must, if you're lucky enough to find it on the menu. Be sure to consider the sea salted caramels by Artisan du Chocolat and vegan chocolate from Le Snob. After lunch, explore the shop's large selection of oxidized bronze sculptural vases, watches by Christian Koban, candles by Cire Trudon, cashmere by Oyuna, porcelain works by Nymphenburg, or send the Hellebores floral arrangement to someone special. 4445 Travis Street, Dallas, TX 75205
