MATTHEW KRISTALL Art Notes COURTESY OF THE ARTIST, STUART SHAVE/MODERN ART, LONDON, THE MODERN INSTITUTE, GLASGOW, GALERIE EVA PRESENHUBER, ZURICH, 303 GALLERY, NYC, PHOTO JULIUS PICKENPACK Take Two: Scottish and Irish sculptresses take the town, highlighted in ambitious mountings in the heart of the museum district. First up, the Dallas Museum of Art commissions Scottish sensation Karla Black — a star of the 2011 Venice Biennale and one of four finalists for last year's Turner Prize (the equivalent of an Oscar for an under-50 British artist) — to create two over-thetop yet ethereal installations spun from her signature materials that are often raided from the drugstore or apothecary, including body glitter, nail polish, eyeshadow pigments and bath bombs (through March 17). The DMA's Jeffrey Grove does curatorial honors for this ofthe-minute talent, whose work is emphatically not about the girly nature of her materials ... After your encounter György Kepes' Juliet with One Peacock Feather Eye, Chicago, 1938, at PDNB Gallery with Black's fragile, albeit heroic, sculpture, stroll to the Nasher Sculpture Center to interact with Irish notable Eva Rothschild. This fall's Sightings headliner energizes the Nasher's entrance via patinated piping of aluminum, fiberglass, epoxy, polyurethane paint and lacquer, snaking around and above the museum's desks, stairs and doorways via Why Don't You (Dallas), which possesses its own unmistakable minimalist joie de vivre (through January 20) ... Bauhaus Your House: PDNB Gallery does it again, pulling out a trove of vintage gelatin silver images from three North Texas talents, all of them women, who were shaped by Bauhaus lensmen who were visiting artists back in the day. The Bauhaus' Laszlo Moholy-Nagy and György Kepes touched down in Denton in the 1940s, where they influenced Carlotta Corpron, Ida Lansky and Barbara Maples (through January 5). The resulting futuristic compositions evidence wild abstract experiments with light, photograms and solarization that produced remarkable effects as underscored in "Texas – Bauhaus" ... Just in: Artist/gallerist Brian Gibb of The Public Trust has turned his idiosyncratic brilliance to the restaurant world. Tune in next month to see details of his latest and greatest interventions and creations for destined-to-be-hot spot Hypnotic Sushi (3211 Oak Lawn Avenue), opening as you read these pages.

"There are guys out there who dress more casually but still look sharp in button-downs and jeans, or in sweaters and chinos — that's their 'suit' for work," he says. "I've been that guy my entire career." New designers and selections are added weekly, reflecting Witt's personal mantra and company tagline: "More, More. Now, Now. Next, Next."

Lacy Ball EMILY SIMS Andrea Zieher Why are you exhibiting at the Dallas Art Fair 2013? Do you do other fairs as an exhibitor? What makes the Fair in Dallas stand out? We are exhibiting at the Dallas Art Fair next year because of our fabulous experience in 2012 (we originally tried it out on another dealer's recommendation). The Dallas community Liz Markus has a clear love of contemporary art. The collectors were friendly and engaged — and prepared to commit to new artists. We sold work by every artist that we brought, but more importantly, we have been able to maintain ongoing relationships with these collectors. Often fairs are either chaotic or depressingly slow. The Dallas Art Fair is unique in that it is intimate and relaxed, and yet lots of good business occurs — and by that, I mean actual sales. We have slowed down on art fair participation as we transition from a "young" gallery into our mid-career. Therefore, we have stopped participating in young fairs and have started looking to the bigger fairs, such as Art Basel Miami Beach and Art Hong Kong, though this year we are going to take a break from the craziness of the Miami scene. For the rest of the conversation, peruse papercitymag.com.
