Magnolia Theatre

Thursday, October 8th, from 8-10pm

Growing up around screen printing and poster creation, John incorporated the individual style of those hand skills through a digital talent with computers, to form a non traditional style."

Future Vision
Calef Brown
Jason Limon
4th Wall Gallery
2925 Fairmount Street, Dallas Texas
Thursday, October 8, 2009, 7-10pm

Check out the artist sites. Limon's got some good-creepy Brueghelesque figurative work and Brown's got some slightly-more-kid-friendly-but-creepy work. Both artists seem supremely talented.

FRIDAY

Poetry Happening
And/Or Gallery
Friday, October 9th, 7-8 PM

"The phrase and/or indicates that you can either choose between two alternatives or choose both of them. This Friday evening the choice will offer up a reading by local poets Alexander Etheridge and Joe Milazzo with a side order of viewing The Way Things Go, a video by Swiss artists Peter Fischli and David Weiss. The evening is organized around a request made by Karen Weiner. If you like words with your images or can't decide, come be surprised."

SATURDAY

Open Show: Landscapes
500X Gallery
Opens Saturday, October 10, 7-10 pm

500X is shifting their annual open show to the Fall (used to be in May). This show's theme: landscape. "...landscape offers participating artists a focus and allows viewers an opportunity to see how numerous artists explore one of art history's most traditional genres." This show includes a painting by unsung Dallas master Rob Polivka (artwork for Early Lines, among others).

Through the Lens
mod.shop gallery
Opens Saturday, October 10, 6-9 pm

"Six colored prints by Julie Barnofski, six colored prints by Angela Patterson and 20x30 inches archival inkjet prints by Tom Leininger address melancholia, ambiguity and death."
