3656 STRATFORD AVENUE HIGHLAND PARK | $5,995,000 ERIN MATHEWS 214.520.8300 ERIN@ERINHOME.COM OBSESSIONS. DECORATION. SALIENT FACTS. 19 W e might need a map to get to Nowhere, TX. The entertainment venue is slated to open this summer, just west of Trinity Groves, on what was once a fairly desolate industrial site. Nowhere will host pop-up events and offer a biergarten-style restaurant with rotating chefs and menus. Backing the three- building, three-acre project is Dallas- based developer Oaxaca Interests (Sylvan Thirty). 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.

MoMA MOMENT Susan Te Kahurangi King's Untitled, circa 2015, at Marlborough Contemporary, London COURTESY THE ARTIST AND MARLBOROUGH CONTEMPORARY, NEW YORK AND LONDON King's rapid ascent in the art world began when Dallas Art Fair co-founder Chris Byrne spearheaded her showing in the 2014 Outsider Art Fair in New York. King tunes into the world via color drawings filled with deft lines that reference childhood memories. Three of her compelling works have just entered the collection of the Museum of Modern Art. See the past 10 years of King's drawings, curated by Byrne, at Marlborough Contemporary, London, through July 28. Catherine D. Anspon
