Late Nights

I did the Late Night Block party with the Dallas Museum of Art, Crow Collection and The Nasher Sculpture Center. It was kinda of bitter sweet cause I was alone with no one to share it with and everyone else was a couple or a group of same sex. I still had an amazing time and can't wait for next month to go. I'm actually going to get there way earlier and enjoy as much of the events they have planned.

My first stop was at The Nasher and it pretty much had it's usual permanent collection but I like seeing the pieces I enjoyed the first time I went. They had Mama Mia playing in the garden and drinks and the cafe open. I got there laround 9.45 and didn't have much time to enjoy a movie or really get into the work of arts. Only had 2 hrs to see the other museums. James Turell's The Tending is Something to see at night. But I definitely want to see it when the sun goes down it has to be a spectacular sight.

The second stop was the Crow Collection of Asian Art. They are exhibiting an amazing Japanese American pop artist Roger Shimomura. They also had a bamboo flutist there as well. I was overwhelmed with so emotion while the flutist was playing looking at his works of expression on how it is to be a Japanese American and the adversities that he went through. Sometimes it was intimate some bold some with laughter. The time that I had and the movement of the crowd I hope it is still on show when I go back next month.

The final stop of the night was at the Dallas Museum of Art. The where showing off several artist in the Private Universe exhibition both media and paintings. The contemporary was really great to see. And since the DMA is very big museum it was great wondering in the permanent collection. Until I noticed where are the dj's there's suppose to dj's and then finally I came across DJ Wild in the Streets. Awesome collection of music. And then like all good things it had to come to an end and I really just wish I could bask in the art all night long some more.

Modern Things

I've focused a lot on art and artist. I thought I'd shine some light on modern architecture and in home design. What defines modern design and architecture is hard to explain. It's been said that the clean lines, simple geometry or the bold use of color used with furniture. I know with projects making home living more sustainable with nature, it totally changes modern architecture and how it's viewed. Taking modern architecture and working it in with nature variables really creates a whole different element and dimension. There was a project in Dallas called Re:Vision Dallas and 3 winners have now been chosen. There is a post at Archdaily that goes in depth a lot better than I could.

Urban Vision

My Dream is to buy land for my Pre Fab Modern Home. They are pretty much a designed home Kit. They are difference between them and mobile homes, is that they are a essentially a kit so you need a contractor to build it for you. They don't come already made on wheels. They are depending on the model less expensive than buy a house, though if you factor in the land it might just come about even. There are customizable and can come in different floor plans. The one I have my eye on is by Rocio Romero. You can't get any more simple or cleaner lines than this.







And here a few designs that caught my on other blogs dedicated to Modern Design.

Holy Local Cow

I'm sorry that last week there wasn't a post. To rectify this I have 2 post this Sunday. Art and Controversy need more time than a week to get done. This post I have artists I saw at the Fort Worth Arts Festival. These are only 3 of the amazing artist that I saw that day. There was so many, but I must at this time limit it to 3. Art Festivals are mainly in the spring. I encourage to go next spring. It's the best way to support you community and to get great art for less.

Beth Bojarski

When I stopped by this artist she wasn't at her booth. I wish I could have met her. I just love how childlike and fun her works of art. I Think we would have gotten along swimmingly swell. The colors are amazing. She mostly paints on wood now and doesn't do thumbnail sketches, did I say amazing already. I emailed her to ask if I could post some of her work on my blog. Me waiting to last minute, I had to use images from the the Fort Worth Art's Festival website. I hope she doesn't mind.
