I’ve been watching the nerds that come to these lectures since 1995.

Simmons’ work spans decades now, and reverberates with the politics of feminism and Simmons’ poignant and focused scrutiny of gender roles — both from intentional observations, and as a result of politics catching up to her photographs.

There's no reason why the opening season for art in DFW doesn’t happen on two consecutive weekends, one for each city. We’ll still show up, guys. Promise.

There are sections of paintings that wobble in double vision, figures fading in and out of scenes, and impossible combinations of each.

The solo exhibition has become an apt moment for reflection on the artist’s legacy.

The 'intuitive mark' is something that Aram observes between the functionally decorative and the conceptually active spaces between Modernism and the legacy of abstract painting.

For the time being,  this and other shows like it in this space challenge the momentum and entitlement of gentrified sprawl.
