ceramics…on the edge

The Umlauf presents work from the San Angelo Museum of Fine Arts

Another event to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the Umlauf Sculpture Garden & Museum. This is the first exhibit in collaboration with another museum.

"ceramics…on the edge will feature two dozen large scale sculptural ceramics from the San Angelo collection created by leading artists from Texas and throughout the nation. Also included will be several small ceramic sculptures from the Umlauf Sculpture Garden's own collection, early pieces by 20th century American sculptor Charles Umlauf."

Backstage at Balenciaga

This is part of where I have been this week, in Dallas at the Meadows Museum on the SMU Campus. Here are a few more behind the scene shots at preparations for the opening of the Balenciaga Show. Click on any of the pictures to enlarge.

Over 150 pairs of pantyhose were used. On the trunks, as well as torsos. The crotches were removed and they were put over the heads and arms of the mannequins to protect the artwork.

Spare parts on carts everywhere.

Backstage at Balenciaga

I am fortunate enough to know several insiders at the Balenciaga and his Legacy show. It is haute couture designed by Cristóbal Balenciaga that is part of the Texas Fashion Collection and will be showing between February 4th and May 27 at The Meadows Museum of Art in Dallas, TX.

Below is the first cellphone shot (of many, I hope) of behind the scenes preparations for the show:
