Lifting
— Theft in Art - with work by A-153167, Janice Kerbel, Micah
Lexier, Luis o Miguel, Ann Messner, Scott Myles, Dennis Oppenheim, Joel Ross,
Jon Routson, Savage, Ulay, TImm Ulrichs, Allison Wise and
The Art Guys at
Fort Worth Community Arts, 2900 West Berry Street in Fort Worth, Texas
open 1-6 Thursday-Sunday through May 31
"The second exhibition at Fort Worth Contemporary Arts Center [site not updated] surveys theft within artistic practices. The artists in the exhibition have — or claim to have — transgressed a legal line, committing theft in the name of art. Lifting explores the specific intentions and implications of each artist's work, as well as common issues of authenticity, moral defensibility, and conceptual integrity.
Lifting seeks to trace a lineage from outer edge of rappropriation strategies as they transgress legal and societal boundaries. As a relatively commonplace gesture within art, the radicalism of appropriation — and the attendant moraal, ethical, and political issues — may risk being overlooked. The artists in Lifting have intentionally strayed into a territory that is more overtly deviant, whreby their work incorporates materials that point to the act or evidence of theft."

Wow! Somebody's teaching something somewhere.
Or somebody at UTD has been learning. I was just thinking this morning when
I woke up, that they should teach mfa — and all other students — how
to have an art show. This notice required less editing and rewriting than any
ever — except one by Jeff Green some years back and any of And/Or Gallery's
submissions. And there was an image, which I used immediately, even though
the artist's name wasn't on it.

Notes at The Mac opening
6-8 May 9 through June 21
Tracy's mini bio in the publicity for this exhibition does not state that he is one of two founders of Dallas Artists Research & Exhibition (DARE), whose nonprofit status 'made' The Mac what it is today, especially when they show area artists' work, like this show, in fact, like this year's whole exhibition schedule so far. Hooray for The MAC, for finally living up to its founding purposes, except of course, these are hardly struggling artists (except in the way we all are constantly).
Hassell's wonderfully detailed and patterned bird pictures and Hicks' intriguing translucent frog jars are a natural.

Community News
new Shelly Niebuhr's monthly podcaset Art N Soul of North Texas often interviews area visual artists. This month she speaks with Sarah Jane Semrad about her work, the La Reunion Artist Residency and Art Conspiracy. Very possibly a long-time DallasArtsRevue Supporting Member will be interviewed there soon.
Finally... This artist deduction bill (S.548) would give artists the right to deduct the fair market value of their work when donating it to a charity.
We artists are always asked to donate work to charitable causes for fundraising purposes but when our work is auctioned, the buyer gets the benefit of being allowed to deduct their contribution above the market value, whereas the contributing artists and artisans can only deduct the amount of the material costs of creating their work (the cost of paint, canvas, clay, paper...)
This bill is non-partisan and fair. Please click on this link and simply by typing in your zipcode, a letter of support will be sent to your senators and congresspersons.

I caught a longish, thoughtful, gentle art review by Jerome Weeks on KERA-FM Friday. First art review I've heard there in a long time, although Joan Davidow's fiancé said she still did those for that station sometimes.

Dallas sculptor John Snygg (stories in Small Sculpture in Texas and J R's Collection on this site) died from cancer February 28.

KERA (FM, TV) "is launching a multimedia, community-based arts initiative in late May that will bring unprecedented attention to the arts in North Texas.
Unified under the name Art&Seek, the project includes the upcoming launch of a new Web site developed as a gathering place for the arts. The site will include an automated calendar where organizations can post their own events as well as original Web content provided by KERA staff and community partners. In addition, the site will be home to the Arts+Culture blog where artists, curators, performers and other arts professionals contribute to discussions about what’s happening in the arts in North Texas. In addition, KERA will provide expanded coverage of the arts on its public radio and television stations through interviews, reviews and special programs."

It's a scam. It's a scam. It's always a scam! If you get emails from South America or Nigeria or Irving, Texas promising to send you a "certified cashier cheque" (or other wording) for your art or your boat or your Sousaphone, pay attention. It is very possibly — if not likely — they are attempting to scam you.
The classic format involves them sending you a check for more than you agreed to charge. You are expected to go to a bank, cash the (probably bogus) check and send the difference back to the thieves who are preying on your desire to sell art.
I (the editor) know it's a scam, because many DallasArtsRevue artists are being targeted.
That said, many people see something on the internet and assume it is for sale, even if no price is mentioned. They flail about attempting to buy it or multiples of it. There are legitimate buyers of art out there, and they may contact you, and you may do business with them. But pay attention. Google the phrasing they use, and you'll find pages warning about scams. I googed "certified cashier cheque" and found More internet scams, Wedding Photographer, Musical Instrument Sales and Fraud Attempts on your Classified Advertisements.
Warning: If it involves you cashing checks, then sending the difference between what you earned and what they sent you, it's a scam. Beware! You will be prosecuted. The Nigerians are out of reach of the short arm of the law.
Helping celebrate EASL's 15th Anniversary, the 2007 EASL Coloring Book has work by 64 area artists ready for colorin , available at Craighead Green, Conduit, David Dike's Dallas gallery and maybe 500X for $10 each.
Sometimes, when EASL's official website is down, they may refer people to the EASL page on DallasArtsRevue at www.DallasArtsRevue.com/EASL.shtml. They never tell me when that happens. Oh, and if you call EASL, don't get excited about them contacting you back quickly. It can take months, but it can be worth it. I know. I wrote about them saving my bacon on their site.
