Art Notes Color Me Rad T WHITNEY MUSEUM OF AMERICAN ART; © HEIRS OF JOSEPHINE N. HOPPER, LICENSED BY WHITNEY MUSEUM OF AMERICAN ART, NYC he Color Condition is a collaborative effort of Dallas-based artists Marianne Newsom and Sunny Sliger, who dream of spreading color around the Marianne Newsom and Sunny Sliger state. Their creations make use of colored streamers and flags, which are hung, draped and woven into an environment to change our perception of the setting. The duo continues to push boundaries as they explore new ways to engage and stimulate through patternization, repetition and movement of their streams of color. With temporary installations for both the Nasher Sculpture Center and Klyde Warren Park under their belts, they're work can next be seen at holiday projects at Forty Five Ten and TenOverSix, and a pop-up shop pops up at their studio December 6 and December 7. The Color Condition at Shamrock Hotel Studios, 4312 1/2 Elm St.; thecolorcondition.com. Michelle Aviña Valentino Flips for Havaianas We have to admit, Valentino Garavani's sandal collaboration with Brazilian sandal sensation Havaianas caught us a bit off-guard. The design house hasn't been involved in the ubiquitous high-low collaborations that so many other designers have. But this doesn't mean we're any less excited about the pairing. We're flipping out for the luxe flip-flops, made with the characteristic Havaianas rubber sole but accented in Valentino's camouflage prints with Rockstud spikes and colorful crocodile straps. Valentino x Havaianas limited-edition capsule collection for men and women, from $295, at the Valentino boutique. Anna Schuster Fashion Frenzy at Forty Five Ten COLLECTOR'S CONVERSATION brought to byto by you brought you DALLAS ART FAIR Mérida Arquiste candle by Cire Trudon MARTIN YAPTANGCO Carlos Huber APRIL 11–13, 2014; PREVIEW GALA APRIL 10, 2014 WWW.DALLASARTFAIR.COM BRIDGET MAC DALLAS ART FAIR: Alejandro Ingelmo Eddie Borgo Joseph Altuzarra Antica Farmicista Forty Five Ten diffuser Shelley Callaghan and Susanne Pruitt Jereann Chaney For the rest of the conversation, peruse papercitymag.com. Eddie Borgo exclusive bracelet Max Trowbridge Brian Bolke Tristian Koenig Tell us about the artist you will be bringing to the Fair next April. I understand you will have a solo presentation of Indonesian talent Hahan. What made you feel this particular artist was the one to bring to Dallas? Bringing Hahan to Dallas is something I'm absolutely excited about — thrilled, even. Hahan is a young artist of the post-Suharto generation, whose work directly engages with the transformations being wrought in his country, with specific reference to the art scene. Indonesia is inarguably the hottest spot in the international art world right now — you'd probably bump into more collectors, curators and gallerists there than at the Istanbul Biennale! Adam Shulman lightkeeper necklace Elder Statesman teddy bear Patron, collector and board member (Blaffer Art Museum, Contemporary Arts Museum Houston, Houston Center for Photography) Jereann Chaney poses questions to Tristian Koenig, founder, owner and director of his eponymous gallery, Tristian Koenig in Melbourne, Australia. Why are you exhibiting in the Dallas Art Fair 2014? I've heard the Fair does great tote bags! No, seriously, I've heard fantastic things about the Fair since it started. I heard that the Fair was bespoke, considered and was about producing tangible outcomes for artists, collectors and galleries — what more could you want? My very good friends Paul Moss and Miles Thurlow from [Workplace Gallery in] Newcastle in Gateshead, England, participated in the 2013 edition, and that really sparked my interest in terms of converting from being someone that followed the Fair to someone that is participating. After speaking with [Dallas Art Fair co-founder] Chris Byrne, I think we were both really excited by the prospect of including an Australian gallery in the Fair. So, here we are! SHAYNA FONTANA Three for the Tree: At the Dallas Museum of Art, the Edward Hopper drawing show "A Painter's Progress" (through February 16) is rife with discoveries. The absolute highlight: preparatory studies for Nighthawks, an epic work that defined the brooding unease of World War II-era America. What would Hopper make of our own time, we wonder? … The opposite of the DMA's film-noirish exhibition is Circuit12 Contemporary's riotous fare by Clark Goolsby. The NYC-based graphic designer concocts collage paintings attuned to the tropics — all hot and cool shades, plus prismatic cascades of objects and patterning. Goolsby's swirling shapes and Allison V. Smith's Geraniums. Cushing, Maine, August 2012, confident lines are served up in his "Shatter" solo, at Barry Whistler Gallery which mirrors the complexity and chaos of our information age (through January 2) … For something more classical, the photography of Allison V. Smith melds the real world with a dose of underlining abstraction, defined by sensitive, stripped-down image-making that possesses an underlying purity. See Smith's latest Maine portfolio at Barry Whistler Gallery in "Ship to Shore," which pairs her with the tactile realism of Maine-based Gideon Bok's studio paintings (both December 7 – January 11). Mac Attack: At the McKinney Avenue Contemporary, a smart trifecta comments on race, technology and process. The respective Edward Hopper's Study for Nighthawks, 1942, works are by destined-to-be-important Jamaican-born painter at Dallas Museum of Art Paul Anthony Smith, alongside Jenny Vogel's installation of 100 lamps engineered to transmit Craigslist missing connections via flashing Morse Code. Austin artist Bethany Johnson rounds out the trio, with exquisite landscape drawings made with technical pens — whispery and beautiful and reminiscent of Agnes Martin (all through December 21). And speaking of The MAC, have you acquired your tickets yet to The Blue Yule? It's worth rushing back from Miami for this clever party and artist-made ornaments (Saturday, December 7, 6 to 9 pm; the-mac.org/blue-yule-2013/). The Golden Age: Celebrate the Kimbell Art Museum's long-awaited Renzo Piano Pavilion (compete with grass roof). While you're there, take in the blockbuster perfectly timed for the big reveal: "The Age of Picasso and Matisse: Modern Masters from The Art Institute of Chicago (through February 16) … A forerunner who improbably paved the way for Picasso, the underknown Spaniard Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida (1863 – 1923), gets his day: Sorolla's winsome, late Impressionist style offerings are at the Meadows Museum in a show that adds sun and sea to our season. The artist's great-granddaughter, Blanca Pons-Sorolla, curates this international traveling view that focuses on Sorolla's turn-of-the-century American experiences (December 13 – April 19). Catherine D. Anspon Ingelmo Edward Bess and his makeup palette Greg Chait of Elder Statesman Adam Shulman I t's a fashion summit Thursday, December 12, when Brian Bolke, proprietor of Forty Five Ten, hosts 10 designers for a holiday open house, which does double duty as a meet-and-greet for PaperCity's new Dallas editor in chief Max Trowbridge.

New chef de cuisine Douglas Wagenhauser welcomes the season with dishes such as cornbread and vanilla-honey butter, seared scallops with apple-bacon jam and a spiced pumpkin sundae with bourbon cream … The restaurant boom at The Plaza at Preston Center continues: True Food Kitchen has debuted its expansive menu, boasting everything from kale salad to bison Elisabeth Weinstock burgers, based on holistic health educator Dr. Andrew Weil's anti-inflammatory diet … Husband-and-wife duo Joey and Chi Le, the brains behind Deep Ellum's Tanoshii Ramen, are at it again with their new venture, Miss Chi Vietnamese — which opened late last month in the space that housed the couple's former restaurant, Wicked Po Boys … The Design District is shining a little brighter thanks to chef Matt McCallister's newly appointed five stars at FT33.
