ARTISTS-IN-RESIDENCE: WILLIAM LAMSON AND JAY SHINN

Marty Walker Gallery artists William Lamson and Jay Shinn will be traveling this summer to participate in artist residencies to develop current projects - Lamson to Utah to continue exploring interactions with the environment and Shinn to Berlin to explore spatial relationships of geometric designs.

Brooklyn-based William Lamson will be participating in the Wendover Residency with the Center for Creative Land Use Interpretation in Wendover, Utah. Established in 1997, the program has included prominent and international artists, researchers, and land use enthusiasts to develop engaging, innovative, and compelling interactions with Utah's regional geography, including the Great Salt Lake, desert and salt flats, to reveal new perspectives about the built environment.

Dallas-based Jay Shinn is among the artists selected for the Takt Kunstprojecktraum residency program this summer in Berlin, Germany. Started in 2003 and autonomously run, the residency program intends to provide support to artists and foster creative minds. Having access to Berlin and an international community of artists, the residency will allow Shinn to develop his current investigation of two- and three-dimensional spatial relationships to create new geometric structures and prints.

DOUGLAS CARTMEL IN THE NEWS

Douglas Leon Cartmel's current exhibition SUPER NATURE featured this week in Glasstire, Dallas Morning News, and D Magazine.

For those of us living in landlocked Dallas, rising temperatures seem to bring on an annual longing -- for the sea. As if to announce that the Dallas Museum of Art doesn't have a monopoly on pining for the ocean with its "Coastlines" exhibition, Marty Walker Gallery brings us Douglas Leon Cartmel's "Super Nature." -- Michael Granberry, Dallas Morning News

The result is a mesmerizing black-and-white picture that is impossible to take your eyes off. Bonus: look for Cartmel's works in the "Coastlines" exhibition currently at the Dallas Museum of Art. --D Magazine

WAYNE WHITE CREATES NEW PUPPET

Wayne White was invited this week by friend and art instructor Mike Quinn of The Webb School in Bell Buckle, Tennessee to build a 30-foot puppet resembling the school's founder W. R. "Sawney" Webb as a part of the school's Art Week and 14oth year anniversary. Assisted by students and using cardboard, foam core, bamboo, paint and wire, White constructed a 40-pound puppet head, clothed with a jacket made of 12 hot-glued t-shirts and paints made of rainbow satin. Reminiscent of White's automated George Jones head recently exhibited at Rice University, this puppet was created in two and a half days and was operated by students in a final celebration parade.

DOUGLAS CARTMEL + DALLAS ARCHITECTURE FORUM

Dallas Architecture Forum :: Third Annual 365 Modern Home Reception Series :: Wednesday, 21 April 2010 :: Lode House

Designed in 2007 by James Ferrara, Lode House is a response to the client’s request for simple, modern living spaces. The residence’s inspiration is drawn from the client’s annual travel to Italy and a residency at Villa Saraceno, a World Heritage Site, designed by Andrea Palladio ca. 1545 in the Province of Vicenza.

Within the thoughtfully designed space of Lode House is an impressive contemporary art collection, including work by Brookly/Puerto Rico artist José Lerma and Dallas artist Douglas Leon Cartmel -whose work can also be seen at The Dallas Museum of Art's current exhibition 'Coastlines', and in an upcoming solo exhibition at Marty Walker Gallery.

A limited number of tickets remain for purchase for the reception. The residences have been designed and/or renovated by leading local and national architects, landscape architects and interior designers. Receptions are from 6 to 8 pm on the indicated evening. Events include a light cocktail reception, brief remarks by the design team, and valet parking.

WAYNE WHITE'S WORDS: RECENT REVIEWS

REVIEWS : WAYNE WHITE I Fell 37 Miles to Earth 100 Years Ago

"Through his quippy phrases, Wayne White plays the part of wife beater-wearing, water-bed-rocking, porn-star-wannabe art critic, his curt turns of phrase not so much a reduction of a painting style as an hilarious embellishment of one." - Lucia Simek, D Magazine
