Some thoughts on two shows I caught during a recent visit to SMU's campus.

Stained glass is ripe territory for a layered discussion on the meaning of ‘integrity.’

Two shows on the southern edge of the greater-Dallas area are on view, in varying states of air conditioning, through much of the summer.

The intensity of this particular collective experience is hard to convey to someone who wasn’t there.

Ex Ovo is the new curatorial and exhibition project of Dallas native Allison Klion.

In this podcast, Glasstire's William Sarradet catches some notable exhibitors at the Dallas Art Fair on its opening night, to chat about the art they're showing this year.

Three Belgians delegating the culture of the United States back to itself: that’s something to chew on.

Andrea Danchik and Ruth Salverda make compelling work that suits an online format. The trick might be, perversely, that they aren’t externally motivated by the potential riches of attention.

"Despite Puerto Rico being a colony, the land grab has been happening slowly. This is it accelerating." 

For Arthur Peña’s most recent installment of One Night Only, his curatorial project that is as ephemeral as it is exclusive, performance artist-musician Francine Thirteen led a huddled congregation in a semi-religious service.

When I recall the spaces and people I’ve been fortunate to forge relationships with in the Dallas art community, I realize I probably moved here at the perfect time. It…

I'm rooting for the future of Taoka's work; let’s see how far he can take these compositions to insinuate or push against the notion of 'representation.'
