Three soccer exhibitions to see in DFW this summer in honor of North America hosting the World Cup and Dallas being one of the 11 host cities:
1) Soccer: More Than a Game at the
Such a fun experience for the whole family, open through September 7. Ticket prices are astronomical, please park close to El Fenix at the meters to save at least a little, that’s a German pro tip for you 😊⚽️
2) at Toyota Stadium will host Legends of Soccer Exhibit starting June 13, more info TBD, but I think it’ll be worth checking it out for the building alone.
3) More Than a Match at , the most artful of the three, with works by Andy Warhol and historical background on the sport. Tickets are $25 for adults and $20 for 17 years and under.
PS: for those who complain that it’s called ‚soccer’ in the States, you can thank the Brits, that was their idea 😂

Thanks to the for hosting another wonderful press preview yesterday. This was my favorite show the museum did in a while: Nic Nicosia, Everyday Surreal; a survey of the past 25 years of the artist‘s career. Nicosia was born in Dallas in 1951 and is one of the most famous artists this city has to offer, having shown at the documenta or the Centre Pimpidou, among others.
The Nasher exhibition opens May 16 and closes August 16 — a perfect summer plan.

Press day at the with the museum’s president and CEO Lisa Brown Ross, in front of their new „Legacy of Sepia Magazine“ exhibition, with beautiful photographs from the magazine featuring black American celebrities, artists, fashion and politics. Sepia Magazine was an African American publication and an integral cultural contribution to Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas and the US as a whole. It was witty, provocative and addressed so many important topics like women’s rights (see the ab0rtion headline in pic number 3 from 1967). It will soon be available to read online and I can’t wait: with print media’s decline, preserving history this way becomes even more important. The exhibition is free to visit and open through August 11.

was a big success. I’m really glad we got such an elaborate art show over here in the suburbs. And for free! There were 17 amazing installations working with lights, sound, video and projection. The Frisco Commons Park felt like an enchanted forest. Our highlight: my daughter projecting her and her stuffy‘s face onto a huge tree! Looking forward to next year already.

Happy Mother‘s Day to all moms and a big thank you to .anderson.ph for the beautiful photos she took of us 🩷

One of my favorite Dallas artists, , is having a solo show at the right now that, for a lack of better words, is simply beautiful. It is rare to see so much manual labor and aestheticism in contemporary art and at the same time to feel so much calmness radiate from it. My daughter particularly loved the film that documented Du’s meticulous artistic process. Speaking of daughter, she had me pose so much the gallery attendant praised her photography skills 😄

Continuing with my series ‚Art Shows to see in Dallas this spring‘: The Nasher Staff Show, an exhibition proving that museum workers can be talented artists, too. This is the second iteration of this format and I found it even better than the first time. The show is located at 1801 N Pearl St, right next to . Check it out if you’re in the , it’s free and open through May 24!

Art at never disappoints! Loved the huge canvasses by Yosh*taka Amano, particularly “New York Nights”. The show is on view through July 18. And thanks for the photo ❤️

Francisco Moreno‘s solo show at the has everything I enjoy in contemporary art: Humor, painterly precision (I like neo-realism, sue me!), appropriation, mythology, grotesque… it made me want to go to Mexico City so badly. Truly, a feast for the eyes!
