CADD WRAP PARTY
Last night was the CADD Wrap Party hosted by Sky Modern, Positive Space and Modern Luxury Dallas. The party was held at the Kessler Woods Development in Oak Cliff. CADD (Contemporary Art Dealers of Dallas) held an art fair several weeks ago and this was sort of a closing party for them. They were also celebrating the upcoming opening of the CADD Art Lab, not quite sure what that is but sounds interesting. Please excuse the quality of the images they are via camera phone.
Bumped into dear friend of the Foundation, Jason Sheeler who writes for The Dallas Morning News and FD Luxe. Styled as always in a double breasted suit jacket.
If you haven't visited The Kessler Woods project yet make it a point because there are some incredible homes. This house was great for an event such as this.
Chairs provided by Positive Space, sketches of clothing designs by Geoffrey Henning. There were two great models walking around sporting Geoffrey's designs but didn't manage to get a picture.Saturday, June 21, 2008
ENOUGH DRUGS TO LAST A LIFETIME
Damien Hirst talking about the Sotheby's RED auction that he and Bono put together.
The auction took place in NY on February 14th 2008 and if you didn't know about it you must have been on another planet or too busy worry what to get you're partner for Valentines day.
The proceeds of the sale went to The United Nations Foundation to Support HIV and AIDS Relief Programs in Africa.
The auction raised over $28 million and pushed the charity's total take to the $100 million mark.

MEN OF STYLE
Last night was time to get up close and personal with the Modern Luxury Dallas MEN OF STYLE 2008. There seemed to be lots of bow-ties (too try hard). It would be nice to see someone rocking a well tailored suit with the top button shirt collar done up with no tie which seems to be all the rage in London right now.Thursday, June 12, 2008

DOUGLAS GORDON
Douglas Gordon was awarded The Turner Prize in 1996 and has just won Europe's most valuable art award, The Roswitha Haftmann Prize which he was awarded in early May. Douglas Gordon was born in 1966 in Glasgow and now lives in New York. Much of Gordon's work is seen as being about memory and uses repetition in various forms.

ARTS MAGNET RETURNS
On Saturday June 7th 2008 Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts celebrated its return to the Dallas Arts District with a concert and dinner.
The new building was designed by critically acclaimed architects Allied Works Architects and project architect Booziotis & Company. It is an incredible building, the dark grey coloured bricks look great and the use of light throughout the building is very well done. Its a great addition to the area and within walking distance to the DMA, Nasher and The Goss-Michael Foundation.
Around 7:00pm the alumni concert started, it was really hot but everyone trooped on.

If you cannot make it by in the week try Saturdays we are open from 11:00-4:00pm. We have transformed the the exhibition space to reflect the mood and feel of their work, blacking out the space and turning it into an environment like nothing seen before in Dallas.
Using light and found objects such as rubbish and rusty metal they create wonderful sculptural masses to cast a perfect shadow.
