Dallas-based Hocker A rp Arrival + Dollhouse Doyenne: Anticipating autumn, one show that tops our viewing list demands quiet contemplation. "The Nature of Arp" at Nasher Sculpture Center spans more than six decades of a very now modernist — Jean Arp, a master of curvaceous biomorphism who teetered into the Surreal. Many of the sculptures showcased evoke the beauty of ancient Cycladic statues. Dallas audiences are fortunate, as we're among the first to be able to rediscover Arp (September 15, 2018 – January 6, 2019) before the show heads to the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice (April 12 – September 2, 2019), its only other venue … At The Modern, headliner Laurie Simmons comes in focus this fall in a perfectly timed career survey that reveals her feminist-infused photography spun around dolls and dollhouse vignettes. Her iconic dancing images — leggy showgirl gals topped by not a head, but a house — are truly of the moment (October 14, 2018 – January 27, 2019) … Vegas Vibes + Beatles: Tim Bavington, a Brit-born, Vegas-based painter and professor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, infuses lurid colors with lines to create abstract canvases of shocking beauty. Dallas audiences know Bavington through his public sculpture, Matchbox, at Victory Park. Now Talley Dunn Gallery rolls out a solo show for the artist, which smartly references film history and a classic George Harrison song (through July 28). Catherine D.
