MATHEWS-NICHOLS.COM ERIN MATHEWS 214.520.8300 • EMATHEWS@ MATHEWS-NICHOLS.COM THE RESIDENT EXPERT OBSESSIONS. DECORATION. SALIENT FACTS. 22 A mong the flurry of art events that have taken our city by storm is the unveiling of New York artist Daniel Arsham's sculpture Moving Figure, his first solo public exhibition. The sizeable piece (18 feet tall) overlooks Oak Lawn Avenue in an industrial, open- air atrium in the Dallas Design District, adjacent to restaurant Wheelhouse — one of three new epicurean concepts from Headington Companies in the area. In addition to inventive cocktails (the Salty Dog has a smoked-salt rim and fuses vodka, grapefruit, and honey), craft beer, wine, and sparkling rosé, Wheelhouse offers house-made sausages; small plates such as pork ribs with kimchi slaw and oysters on the half shell; and large plates including a butcher's cut served with crispy onions, chimichurri, and steak sauce. But perhaps Wheelhouse's most charming feature is its guillotine-style windows, which open to create an al fresco dining experience. Wheelhouse and the atrium are part of a 10,000-square-foot space designed by Seattle-based starchitects Olson Kundig, that will also house Headington's two other concepts later this spring: Italian restaurant Sassetta and takeout spot Go-Go.

Linden Wilson Culinary Arts E legantly crafted timepieces, butter-soft leather journals, bespoke bicycles, bags, jewelry, and other hipster gifts crafted in suddenly hot Detroit stock the shelves at Shinola, which opens at the end of May at NorthPark Center, Level One, between Warby Parker and Sam Edelman.

For spring, we have our eye on the mother-of-pearl Gail timepiece with gold hardware a n d g u i l l o c h é texture dial ($900) and Nappa zip shoulder tote with supple leather, interior and exterior pockets, and detachable interior key fob ($895). For keeping track of important social happenings, the Runwell planner ($26) is a Shinola staple. Shinola, NorthPark Center, shinola.com. Linden Wilson Shine On, SHINOLA ART NOTES R elics as Reliquaries: Sally Warren, a 2013 SMU MFA grad turns her photographic attention to a closer look at … debris. Specifically, odds and ends of litter collected at rural gas stations. She presents her latest at Liliana Bloch Gallery (May 13 — June 17). Viewers come away with an appreciation of the mundane as well as environmental messages. In Our Sights: Site131 does it again with "Unexpected," continuing the tradition of featuring a trifecta of talents, including one with a Texas tie. Its latest round gathers artists who share a sense of the absurd — Jaime Tarazona of Bogota, Brooklyn-based Nina Katchadourian, and Fort Worth sculptor Cameron Schoepp(through May 27). Katchadourian's witty air travel portraiture, snapped aboard transatlantic restrooms and inspired by Flemish painting, steals the show. Painters' Progress: Two must-sees serve up nods to figuration. At Barry Whistler Gallery, the new show for Texas talent John Pomara is akin to a fresh visual language (through May 13) … At the handsome, newly minted Bivins Gallery at The Crescent, wily painter William T. Wiley gets his due in the cleverly titled "Where the Rub Her Meats the Rode" (May 20 — July 8). The West Coast talent, age 79, is an American o r i g i n a l . Catherine D.
